.270 or larger, but ya still got a hit to kill em. The last thing you want is to be chasing down a wounded bear. :twocents:

I use a 30-06.  Want to buy a .270 to hunt with next year. 

In hunting anything shot placement is key!

I usually try to poke them with a stick, but they usually don,t let me get that close. I also use a .33 win mag for back-up. Great caliber.
