For brown bears, I would go with the 375H&H.

Forget the 7.62x54 and the .45-70.  I have taken 3 Brown Bears and if I ever go after another you can bet that I will have at least either my .375 H&H or Weatherby in my hands.  Putting the first shot on the shoulder of the bear is a lot more important than shooting fast.  Lawdog
