NY bear was 7-08 Ruger frontier. HSM bullet...I believe it was 139 or 140 gr
Maine bear was marlin 35 rem. Shot was 40+ yards and couldn’t see my sights and the bear good enough so switched to my lever gun. 150 gr corelok. He went 35 yards and piled up.
Nice, I have an old 1955 year model Marlin 35 Remington, have often wondered how the 220gr Speer bullets would work on a big black bear, thanks for answering that for me.
