So, I've been told by a friend of mine to enter the lottery for a MN bear license this year (it's free so what the heck, right?). This got me to thinking about what ammo for my .308 to use for hunting. MN black bears range in size from 150-500 lbs, though the average is more in the 200-300lbs range. Pretty much all shots are closer range, under 200 yards and most shots are within bow distance at 20-30 yards, at least where we will be hunting. I just started hand loading, so it's not a problem to make my own rounds. I am thinking about something along the lines of 180gr Hornady Interbonds and try to run them at around 2600fps. Anyone have suggestions?
