[QUOTE="Flintlock, post: 2081077, member: 6546"] Gray R, Bears are not hard to kill. I would go with the 140-150 grain bullets if you can get them. The barrel with the twist you got will shoot the heavier bullets and with you only shooting possibly 300 yards or so you shouldn't have to contend with much wind. My 284's in my XP's shoot the Berger 140's ELD Hunters and Nosler Accubonds into nearly one hole at 100 and 1-1.5" at 200 yards. I have taken several large deer here in Oklahoma in the 140lb. range and took a deer in KS at 150 lb. All dropped after hopping a couple of times, through the lungs. If you are needing any 140-150 grn bullets for your hunt and can't find them, let me know. I purchased a lot of them a few years ago when Apache Machine built my XP's. The target is the last one I shot last fall at 100 yards, Berger VLD Hunter, 140grn, shooting H4831SC, Fed 210 primer- barrel is 1-9 twist, 16".
