Too much gun/bullet?
Corelokts in a 30-30, or .30-06 would have worked as well or better from said stand. IMO.
Blackies don't take a lot of killing- just a bit of time when even well hit. Like
moose. Like said, the fat tends to block drainage with anything. If well hit, it didn't go 250 yards.
I took my first moose with a .30-30, and a bunch of moose and black bears since with various calibers. Not any difference, that I can tell, but a .338 (I have one) with TSX is way more than needed for blackies. Still should do the job if properly placed.
