[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2711446, member: 116439"] For ourselves it is not an issue because we have the rifles and can reload just about anything we want and can lend him a rifle to hunt almost anything. This is just for the typical non re-loader hunter that might want a one rifle to purchase for both hunts, can buy factory ammo and around $1k for the factory rifle. Trying to help a friend out makes me realize how hard it is to be a non re-loader hunter. I have been seeing this for years from neighbors asking for ammo so they and their children can hunt. Well should have made it clearer. Black Bear possibly up to 500lbs but most are in the 300lb range. This is hunting over BAIT in Canada. He has a 7MM Mag and hates it for recoil. Something light to carry for Pronghorn and easy on the recoil. May be doing a lot of stalking. For the Bear big enough to kill it but not the recoil of the 7mm Mag. This will be done from a Stand. Changing loads for the same rifle is not an issue. The hunts are months apart. So shooting a light bullet on one hunt and then having a heavy bullet for another hunt months later. Also must be able to obtain Factory Ammo for the cartridge. He does not reload. The reason I mentioned the 270WSM Kimber. 1" recoil pad, very flat shooting with 130gr for Pronghorn, should have no problem taking a Black Bear with 150 SGK or Nosler AB or Partition. Thanks for any and all imput Len & Jill [/QUOTE]
