[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1235615, member: 12995"] Agreed, .280 AI would be your best bet, or .30-06 AI. I don't subscribe to the fact that bigger is always better, but when it comes to bear hunting, well, I don't know if I'd go hunting yogi and booboo with a 6.5-anything... They've been known to get pretty ****ed off when you shoot at them with pea-shooters. JMO. If I was going bear hunting, I'd be taking my .30-06 AI or .300 Ackley, depending on the size of the bear. JE, don't forget, Nosler makes .280 AI brass... So, minimal work on loading for it, you can load for it just like any other standard cartridge now. Minimal fire-forming, too just like a standard SAAMI cartridge. [/QUOTE]
