[QUOTE="Greta06, post: 2060080, member: 108283"] I have to laugh at those who say black bears arent tough animals, you wouldnt say that if you ever tried to kill one over 500lbs. Sure the smaller ones usually do go down easy with a good shot but not the larger ones. I suggest using a bullet that will penetrate and give an exit, the only bullet i trust now is barnes. I saw a 200 gr partition barely make it into the chest cavity after a shoulder hit and a 168ttsx broke both shoulders and still almost exited. I hunt eastern pa and theres a much better opportunity for a 50 yard shot than there is for 500 especially for bear. [/QUOTE]
