[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2711480, member: 109862"] Oh if it’s a black bear pretty much any “all purpose” big game cartridge will do. My dad stopped one (admittedly a somewhat malnourished sow, but her desperation made her very dangerous) at about 7 paces with his 30-30 a few years ago. Dog was going nuts in his farmyard but acting terrified too…dad figured something was wrong, thankfully opted to take his rifle. Thing was hiding between two grain bins and just took a run at him from the side. Didn’t have time to even aim he said, but at rock throwing distance on smaller potentially dangerous critters like black bears, cougars, and boar (which can be very aggressive) that big flat nose of the .30-30 slaps harder than the paper ballistics say it should haha.
