[QUOTE="hypersonic, post: 1160317, member: 5217"] I am guessing you are talking black bears? Here is a "kick *** load" I used for years for moose and it also dropped a lot of deer and a black bear 180 Grain Nosler Partition Winchester Brass Winchester Large rifle primers 57-58 grains of H-4350 ( two different 06's) Depending on your barrel length 2700-2800 fps More than accurate enough for what you want to do but not a target load You could also use the accubond in 180 with H-4350 which I switched to when I still had my 06's more accurate and just as good a killer as the partition. Charge weights for me stayed the same with the AB for me after a load work up. As always use published data and work up from a starting load till you get what you require. If you are going to use IMR-4350 you will be in the 55-56 grain range versus the H-4350 Rl-19 is also a good powder with 180's in the 06 as are numerous others....... a testament to how well rounded and unfussy the good old 06 can be in a good rifle. At 06 speeds Hornady interlocks in the 180 weight will also work well as would Barnes TTSX which you can lighten up to a 165 and still get close to 180 performance penetration wise or you could still go 180 as at 300 you still have enough remaining velocity to open them up pretty good. I have not used any Ballistic tips for a long while but I hear Nosler has toughened them up a bit in the jacket so with 06 speeds you should also be good but I can't say for sure as I have not used them since. You have a huge number of bullet choices out there that will work with the 06 for what you want to do. On moose and elk I like a hole in and a hole out on Black Bears I bust them in the shoulders so they don't go anywhere. I think you are going to be doing a bit of loading and shooting in the near future that's the fun part. [/QUOTE]
