thumbcocker, let us hear about your bear hunt when you get back. Have you found the 180gr RN to be the most effective round for harvesting black bear?
I had a 7600 in 308 come back to me by way of a friend a few years ago who “rented” it for about 15 years and I was glad to have it back. The reason I had that rifle in the 1st place was that Remington loaded their 180gr SPCL, a RN corelokt bullet in 308Win - one of the best woods cartridges ever made. It is their “R308W2” Ammo model number (the W1 being the PSPCL). They still sell it (loaded) but you can’t get the component bullets anymore. In 30-06 they still offer their 220gr. RN I believe.
Didn't get a bear. Too much corn standing yet. The deer I've shot with them worked really well. Not much if any bloodshot meat
