Will a 30.06 suffice or should I go up in caliber?

Thanks.

what kind of bear? What kinda distances you expecting. Dogs or bait for Black Bears I'd think 30-06 would be plenty.

Black bear, sure, brown...probably but I don't want something that can kill a bear, I want something that will kill a bear...300 mag or better, I choose a .338 win mag

30.06 is plenty for anything in North America. If it is a big Grizzly, I would use 200 grain bullets (probably Doubletap's Accubond load). For black bear 150 grain is fine.
