[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 253379, member: 10306"] rdsii64, .308 is fine with good shot placment. I preffer a little overkill because I don't really like tracking. my dad shot a monster 420lbs bruin with a .284 breaking the shoulder and taking both lungs @80yrd and the thing still went over 300yrd into thick, thick bush. we tracked it and he made and identical shot, droping it in its tracks. it was a very good shot, not heart but very good nontheless, and we had to track it. I on the other hand have shot 6 black bears in 4 years and they all droped in there tracks except one. The 5 that I killed on the spot i shot with a .340wby. the one that ran I shot with an 30-06. the '06 hit the heart but had poor expansion and penetration, because [B]I[/B] used a cheap bullet. lesson learned. So my advice is this, use a bigger gun if you can, but if you cant make sure you use a good quality bullet. my 2 bits. jordan [/QUOTE]
