What can you hit with I'd say. Probably something like Buffalo Bore HEAVY 357 MAG OUTDOORSMAN with the 180 grain cast. The need being to drive deeply through bones into vitals. I look at the front of a bear, lots of heavy bone and tight muscle.
This is and area I don't know. Giant black bear. But I think I'd prefer a 41 mag with a 265 grain WFN cast. Like Buffalo Bore HEAVY .41 MAGNUM OUTDOORSMAN.
