[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1703065, member: 313"] I've shot a fair number of bears over the years. IMO they are no harder to kill than a whitetail of similar weight. Any appropriate cartridge and bullet combo that works for deer will work for black bears. I tend to use .458 bullets (45-70) to create holes that are less likely to clog with fat from winter-time bears but it probably isn't necessary. [/QUOTE]
