[QUOTE="flassen, post: 2538597, member: 58543"] I know a .45acp can kill a black bear. I believe if you choose to hunt bear with one, you are giving the bear a 50/50 chance of coming out on top. Black bear do charge people on occasion. I Hava good friend that was charged about 5 years ago. No provocation, merely a chance meeting in the woods. He dropped to his knees and was able to stop the bear with a 45/70 round from his Contender. I would go 10mm minimum. My preference is the 500 S&W. I own several and they are faster to use than many non- owners of them believe. Good luck on your hunt! [/QUOTE]
