[QUOTE="sourdough44, post: 1051804, member: 16114"] If over bait or hounds most shots are very close, 15-25 yrds or so. Usually one has time for good shot placement. Your 308 would be fine for black bears. When over bait and the wind is favorable one should be able to place the shot precisely. I shot one bear with my 300WSM through the 'boiler room' with a 180 grain partition. This bear went about 50 yards. I later shot one at the base of the neck with my 284 Winchester. That bear was lights out instantly. Good luck on the bear hunt. [/QUOTE]
