[QUOTE="epags, post: 2397933, member: 105138"] Lived & hunted in Alaska years ago. 30-06 with 200 grain is more than enough for moose. You can easily get within 100 yards. Brown bear on the other hand, the first time you/I see/saw one can be intimidating if you are even 100 yards away and they are looking at you. I wsn't hunting at that time...just driving around and still believe it could opened my vehicle like a can of sardines if it wanted to. If they are closer (thay can move fast) I would opt for a heaver rifle than a 30-06. I still shudder thinking of one hunt in a cloud cover for brown bear with my 30-06 and 180 grain bullets.....happily it was an unsuccessful hunt. Thank God. [/QUOTE]
