[QUOTE="drahthaars4ever, post: 2078696, member: 116474"] I used a remy 7mm mag on a black bear hunt in Montana several years ago. The load was 72 grains of retumbo over a 180 Berger VLD. 1st shot at 560 yards hit too far back, as the bear took a step when I squeezed the trigger. Bullet struck hip area, nocking the bear down. She got up and went diagonal on the hillside.....maybe 150 yards. When she stopped at about same distance, I fired again and due to the angle, caught the liver. That bear went another 80 to 100 yards or so before expiring. The entrance and exit holes were close to comparison. Yep....I got the bear but given what I've seen with other kills, was not really impressed. The impressing part was on paper! .24 inch with 168's and .80 inch with180 grains, for 3 shots at 100 yards. Stock rifle, my tailored handloads. [/QUOTE]
