Yes-especially Robert Ruark who advised to "Use enough gun" A USMC buddy guides for bear in Montana- carries a Mauser Magnum action in .416 Rigby- express sights and Barnes ammo- I asked him once why the .416-and not a .375 H&H Mag or .338 Win Mag- he told me that off them were good choices, but the .416 was "extra insurance" and added "dead clients don't tip as well as the ones that come back to the airport alive"--I like the late Cactus Jack O'Connor, and respect his now deceased opinions, but I think the .270, even with the new Federal Fusion loads, is fine for whitetailed deer and Black bear- but I'll take a 30-06 over the .270Win hands down, every chance I get. Like the late Elmer Keith once said- "What, you mean it kills them TOO DEAD?""
