Bear Rifle

[JACKALL]

.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.

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

In hunting anything shot placement is key!

.270 on up.

.280rem does the trick. plus it rolls of the tongue better than .270.... haha!

How about a .50 cal In-Line blackpowder with a 405 grain hollow Point powerbelt with 110 grains of powder??  I s that an effective load out to 100 yards?

I shoot 300wsm. but its all about shot placement not cal. bear can go a long ways when hit bad...

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.
