I'm not arguing about a bullet thru the lungs killing the bear.

I wouldn't be shooting at the lungs in all situations.
I would want a bullet I could count on to ANCHOR the bear.

I would choose one of the 175s already listed by SKane.


That from my ZERO experience in bear hunting! I believe in being prepared for the worst case scenario !!

That leaves OUT any scenar!!
