[QUOTE="BOOMAF16, post: 1676950, member: 110647"] I think there are lots of great cartridges out there that would offer the performance necessary and meet your criteria. In my humble opinion, the ones you should consider are the cartridges that are easiest to find factory ammo for and are routinely chambered in many brands of rifles. In my mind, considering all you've mentioned, that narrows it down to really four cartridges: 243 Win, 7mm-08 Rem, 308 Win, and 270 Win. The 243 could be possibly have some limitations with bear approaching the 400 yard range, and the 270 has recoil only slightly less than a 30-06. So maybe the middle two. Regardless, you will be able to find quality ammo everywhere in a variety of loads and a reasonable price. All the best! [/QUOTE]
