[QUOTE="screech, post: 252124, member: 5135"] If we are talking the normal hunting shot of up to 500 then yes a 308 with the right bullet in the right place will work just fine. Not that I would suggest it but I have seen black bears killed with a 22-250 in a tree and I use a 243 on bears with good luck. It dosent take much to kill a black bear. well at least the ones in Idaho. The biggest one I have ever shot was in the 250lb range so If you get where they are bigger it may be a different story. Also most of the bears I hunt are on a bait but I have shot a few in the big open hillsides in the spring. [/QUOTE]
