[QUOTE="jmden, post: 457899, member: 1742"] I shot a 225 lb. black at 445 yds with the 300SMK this year through the vitals and blew out the offside shoulder. Acted just like it did in elk and deer--dropped immediately. That's probably a bit bigger than the average blackie--she was well fed--and the bone structure no where near as big as an elk. Vast majority of elk are much bigger than a black bear and the 300SMK works just fine for that. I've had the 300SMK take out the big leg bone on the way into a bull elks vitals this year, thrash the vitals and still demolish the offside shoulder--immediate drop from 430 something. JMHO, but unless you are hunting grizzlies or brown bears close up, I think the 300SMK will handle north american bears just fine. [/QUOTE]
