They've been used on bear for years and years with great success.
Nice flat trajectory too, so even at distance, it's easy to hit what you're aiming at.

I also have a .264 Win Mag that came out in the 60s, which is similar to the Swede's characteristics. Unfortunately, it never really caught on with Americans, but I think it was one of the more underrated cartridges.
