    My hunting partner shot his grizzly last year with a 30-06 shooting 180 grain Barnes TTSX. It worked perfectly.

    Worked for me using a 168 gr TSX with a MV of 2925fps (24" barrel). That's my story below.

    Right tool for the job = .338.
    When in doubt, just pin it.

    If your running a 30-06 with a 180 timber wolf, It has to be quality ... partition, accubond,tsx. If you run some kind of soft point, at close range a G bear could soak it up and eat you. Just saying

    Just ask anybody who packs a 338... the 30-06 will bounce off a grizzly!

    The Grizzlies I have seen shot with a 30 06 seemed to die just like being shot with a big mag

    30-06 with a well constructed 168 to 180 placed properly in the animal is as deadly as any.
