Darn right the .270 is a bad choice to go bear hunting of any color. Ted, I was after Moose not Brown bear. With proper bullet and decent placement a .270 at reasonable range will cleanly take down my intended game. A 30-06 or larger would be a better choice. But in the 1960-1970 era we were hearing about the magic of the .270, 7 Mag, 25-06, .44 Mag so in my formative years I fell victim to my education by the writers of the day. I don't blame them or myself.
Look at today's articles. The new calibers are just as magical as those they have replaced. I hope no Brown bears and young hunters meet in bad combinations. I don't even look at the bears in a zoo. I did years ago with my kids and I swear one of the bears winked at me and pretended to use his paws in a ripping motion. Have a happy new year.
