[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1483906, member: 39764"] Simple answer. 308. I have a Pierce built, Bartlien barreled 308 that ballisticaly compares to a 6.5 Creedmore out to 500 yards both in velocity, bullet drop and kinetic energy delivered (according to the G3 Ballistics software sending 168 Bergers in Lapua Brass with Federal primers and a propellant load I won't allude to. I rarely hunt over that. One I like to get as close as possible and two, at almost 70, I cannot see that far anyway...lol My 308 is my favorite long gun and if I happened to lose my ammo (handloads), any Wally World has 308's in stock. Might not shoot as good as my custom jumped loads but they still go bang. For bear, I'd use a handgun like a 460 Smith or a 44 RM. [/QUOTE]
