[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 1690315, member: 110518"] The .45-70 is my favorite blackie cartridge. I have 4 rifles presently. My favorite for black bear is my little 1895 Guide gun. I may give my 1895 SBL the nod this year. I reload and use good old Hornady Interlock 300 gr HPs. I'm not home so I can't recall the powder and the charge at the moment. But every bear I shot was only shot once and none went farther than about 40 yards. I have recently began experimenting with cast bullets and I am having real good accuracy out of my 1895 Cowboy with 405 gr bullets cast with wheel weights, sized down to .451" and paper patched.
