[QUOTE="MontanaJack, post: 1989918, member: 25389"] I'd agree with the 6.5 Creedmoor except for the bear option. I own two 6.5 Creedmoors and think it is an amazing round that is here to stay. Perfect for deer and antelope and crazy accurate. But, big game needs big bullets. For me, elk and moose meet my 300 Win Mag. Bears get the 375 H&H. If I'm going up against something that can eat me, I want at least a 30 caliber. 308 or 30-06 would handle a black bear and have probably killed more elk than any of the magnums. The big Alaska bears see nothing less than the 375 H&H in my hands.. Bad shot placement you're asking for trouble either way, but when it starts chasing you, I'd rather throw some weight and energy his direction. [/QUOTE]
