[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 997166, member: 313"] Black bears of almost any size are relatively easy to kill. I have taken many of them and prefer a double lung shot with the 45-70. An expanding JSP works fine. The Speer 400gr FN has become one of my favorites for this application. I've also used hardcast lead and Barnes X bullets but the big Speer JFN works better and is easy to find. Bears either drop to the shot or run 30-40yds. I always get an exit wound. I'm just planning my first grizzly hunt and will be using a 375 Ruger. I have several boxes of 300gr Partitions and may try some 270gr X bullets if they can be found. I'd rather be over-gunned if there is such a thing. It seems that the conventional wisdom is to break both shoulders if possible on the big bears. Blacks are a totally different story IMO. [/QUOTE]
