[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 1487491, member: 8622"] Range is something to consider. Sometimes bears are hunted up close, sometimes on a spot & stalk hunt, the ranges can be considerable. And I've had both happen, on the same hunt. Another hunter wounded one with a 300+ yard shot, and I got elected, or volunteered, or something... Next thing I knew I was in the brush with that bear, hearing him breathe, hearing him move, and unable to see him. Ended up shooting him at about 15 feet! :) My son and his first bear, taken at about 150 yards with his 30-06 and 165 gr Nosler Partitions. It got shot a couple of times because it tried to leave after the first hit. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7T9ybBMl.jpg[/img] I've shot bear with both a 30-06/165 gr bullet, and also with my 375 H&H. Didn't need the 375, but it surely did work well. Your idea of a 180 Nosler Partition from a 300 Win mag would be an excellent choice where I hunt. Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
