If hunting over bait at 100 yards or under I would think a good ole 45-70 would do the trick. I've killed more bears than I care to count over bait with my 450 Marlin and never had to shoot twice. But use your 270 win. with Barnes tsx or NPs and you'll be fine. Good luck on your hunt. Kevin

And we know that all things work for the good for those who love The Lord, who have been called according to his purpose.
