[QUOTE="villagelightsmith, post: 2513857, member: 68421"] i've devoured too much of the hook & bullet printer's stock in trade to sit here a-gawkin' with wide-eyed wonder at some writer's magic formulae for slaying the wily black bear. I gua-ron-double-dam-tee that if you stuck the muzzle of a mere .30 Carbine in the eye or ear of a black bear before you squeezed off the legendary round. that bear would likely fall at your feet and play dead for a long, long time. I could also guarantee that if your shot crossed his path a mite late and just split the hide in a long furrow across her rear butt-cheeks, Mrs Bear, not being particularly stupid, would likely "bear" a large caliber ursine grudge against you for a long, long time. The female of any species has been known to do that, but Mrs. Bear is able to act upon such a sentiment with lethal effect. But as per your question, any normal hunting load out of a .338 would roll up a bear unless you were using a plinking grouse load, in which case all bets are off. I would probably use thr .225 grain load, or the old 210 grain Nozler Partition if I could find them. It's a happy day when such questions are the only things we need to answer! [/QUOTE]
