[QUOTE="Sflutes, post: 1577273, member: 106464"] my part of the country involves both species of bears ie. grizz and blackies heck even a polar bear 60 miles SE of us. The part of a mid-range load has me stumped, not sure what you mean-inexpensive factory fodder? Surely Federal 180 with Speer bullets would work, about 20 bucks. My godson who is 16 yrs. old is using them for moose and black bears. I would opt for a better bullet personally, if you don't reload there is factory tailor made stuff out there in the 180 grain aplenty. Swift A Frames, Winchester Fail Safe etc.... that will hold up quite well whether he had to defend himself from protective sow albeit a grizz or a blackie or to harvest the common black. I don't know if this has helped. I would make certain his length of pull is perfect for him at the least. Maybe change out the recoil pad to a Sims or a good Pach. [/QUOTE]
