[QUOTE="TK 1985, post: 2766005, member: 92618"] I’m a bit curious about the people advocating light for caliber bullets in this thread for bear and how they are easy to kill. I will say that I haven’t done any out west hunting but here in PA our black bear tend to be pretty hard to put down sometimes. They are hardy. I wouldn’t be comfortable with less than 150 for standard bullets in the .308, though that opinion could change depending on bullet performance but I also don’t think I would be comfortable with a bullet designed to expand rapidly or “petal” out.
