[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 180240, member: 8843"] On any critters over 300lbs I'd say 500 would be a good max , I might choose anotherbullet other than the Accubond out of the 308 at long range though its toughness might keep it from expanding well at the reduced speeds of the 308. I'd probably lean toward a 180 Ballistic tip , higher down range energy and better inital expansion coupled with a higher Sectional Density that would help with penitration would likely do better at long range. Black bears arn't realy to heavly built not nearly like an elk so a tough bullet woulden't be my first concern. I have killed a deer at just over 600yds with a 175gr Sierra Match King bullet out of a 308 and it expanded well left about 1/2 dollar sized exit and the deer only went about 30-40 yrds and died. so your friend has shot the 165 Accubond to 1000yds accurately from a 308?
