Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Copper ammo and black bear—30-06 or 6.5 creedmoor?

I once asked a young Eskimo about a polar bear he’d killed the week before. I said “isn’t your Mini 14 with 55gr FMJ ammo a little small for polar bears?”. He replied,” it shoots 20 times before it’s out of bullets”.

That bear only took 7 or 8 BTW
