[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2800754, member: 313"] Black bears are easy to kill. It is often said that they are no harder to take than a whitetail of similar weight. IMO - you can never go wrong by using the time-tested & proven, Nosler Partition bullet. Larger diameter bullets can be beneficial when shooting fatty bears but all (non-varmint) bullets will work fine with good shot placement with a 6.5mm. My Canadian outfitter told me that he had a hunter coming in to hunt black bears with a 22-250. When I told him that the 22-250 seemed to be a rather poor choice he said, "the guy is one of my regulars and takes a bear every year with that rifle". Just some food for thought. [/QUOTE]
