That cartridge will not stop a half ton griz. There have been numerous instances where soft point 30.06 have failed to penetrate. These are huge animals.

I do concur that the shot placement is key, and taking down such a large animal, especially if it is charging requires great skill or high power.

By the way, what was the cartridge that dropped that animal? Just curious, If it was a 30 30 I'm an a$$ bag.
