[QUOTE="Deleted member 115360, post: 2088880"] I'd question shooting a bear at 500y with a .308. Depending on the load, you're looking at a retained energy of somewhere between 800-1,100 ft/lbs. I personally consider 1,000 ft/lb the minimum for deer. I sure wouldn't want to be tracking a wounded bear, but I'm sure they have been killed with less retained energy, just something to think about.. [/QUOTE]
