Average is kind of a difficult term to wrap your head around.  Boars and sows vary greatly in their shape and an "average bear" could weigh 100 lbs less than another "average bear"

What are you trying to determine this for?

  I Sighted One Of My Rifles In At 200 Yards.  At 300 It Drops About 8 Inches.  Trying To Get An Idea Of Point Of Aim At 300.  My Guess Would Be Just Below Top Of Back At 300.  I Know IM Over Thinking it.

 There's a thread on here in the bear section. I actually try to take out the shoulder and blow up the heart at the same time. A disected view from the side shows the heart is a little further forward than on deer and elk. I just want to break them down so I don't have to track them as they have a tendency to clot up fairly quickly with the long hair and fat there.

That's the main takeaway with bear hunting - that the vitals are farther forward.  Very easy to gut shoot a bear if you're not knowing what you're doing.

That's because the caliber they shoot sucks.

I think it's all about shot angle.  Many forget when they are trying to break a bear down that you still need to be aware of bullet path beyond busting the shoulder.  You want to get that bullet into some vitals even if you break the shoulder.  Shoulder can be a hard target to hit when you want to hit it

Oh. Your one of those!
