[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 2574501, member: 110518"] I killed 3 bear with the .45-70 and it really knocks the snot out of them. I only ever had one run after the shot and it only went 30 yards. I used my own handloads with 300 gr Hornady HPs. The 35 Rem is no slouch though and it will definitely handle the average size blackie but I'll take the .45-70 hands down. If you're planning on picking one for the bigger, nastier bears then it would have to be the 45-70 with a 405 gr hard cast bullet. That bigger diameter and heavier bullet will draw more attention to Mr. Bruin. I mean this kiddingly but suck up the recoil Buttercup and use the big boy! [/QUOTE]
