I have never shot a black bear, but was invited to hunt them, max shots were said to be less than 125 yards, scheduling/work on my part got in the way and I couldn't go.

For what it's worth, I checked zero on my pre-64 270 WCF firing 160 gr Partitions at 2800 fps, I could come up with no plausible reason why that combo wouldn't work on any black bear.


Trump Won!
