[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2287370, member: 313"] I've killed quite a few black bears over the years. For stand hunting there is nothing better then the 45-70 (or 450 BM), at least not in my opinion. My favorite bear bullet is the Speer 400gr JSP. It will expand readily but does not frag in a bear. I have never caught one in a black bear. Bears are EASY to kill but all that fat and fur can clog smaller holes and leave very little blood if they aren't knocked down. Virtually any 45cal bullet will work, jacketed, hardcast, or even one of the new Hammer 45-70 bullets. I used one on a bull moose and was very pleased. Good luck [/QUOTE]
