[QUOTE="wasgas, post: 350323, member: 21357"] I have not shot a bear yet, but have seen some on their own as small as 60lbs and two others that were huge, one of which I would estimate to be 500lbs and not want to shoot him with anything less that a 338. I think alot of it depends on where you are hunting and the cover that is there. I would not want to be looking for a big bear that was only injured in thick cover. I would not plan to use the minimum required but use the maximum you were comfortable with for the area you are hunting. Here is one of the best articles I have seen on bullet choices for black bears.
