[QUOTE="wilkup, post: 2776580, member: 74276"] Bears aren’t much different than deer most of the time. Occasionally they’ve been known to soak up some lead and keep going though. A couple years back, one of my dad’s buddies shot an average ~170# bear inside 200yds that didn’t go down. That bear doubled back through the woods and he was lucky to get a shot off from the hip at almost point blank range. The powder burnt the hair right off that bears face. Any of the bullets you have listed will likely work. I’d pick the one that shoots best for you and recommend shortening the distance to 300 yards. They can disappear into tiny little spaces when hurt and depending on where you’re hunting, you might never find them at those longer distances. Good luck out there. [/QUOTE]
