Need advice on 7mm-.08

When you start loading for that .308, I'll pass one a load that should put the quietus to any aggressive bear. it's not a high pressure load, yet can push a 220 gr. bullet to 2310 FPS in my rifle.
Now I'm sure that someone is gonna chime in and say you can't shoot a bullet that heavy in a .308. After all, all the "egg-spurts" in the gun rags say so, and they'd never lie, right?
Also, your rifle has a 1 in 12' twist which is too slow for a bullet that heavy, right?
Well, all I can say is my Winchester M70 in .308 has that same 1 in 12" twist and it will put three 220 gr. Sierra round nose bullets into .375 to .50" all day long at 100 yards ay 2310 FPS at the muzle. That's only 100 FPS from a 22barreled 30-06 using factory advertised velocity. I'd say that wasn't bad company at all. Another rifle with an 18.5" barrel does 2550 FPS with the same load. Now this is with a round nose bullet, not one of the overlong spitzers now available.
Now if I had to face a mean tempered Grizzly on the prod, I certainly would feel a lot better with my .35 Whelen in hand, but if all I had was my M70 .308 with my 220 gr. load, I wouldn't worry overmuch.
