So what's the deal fireball 2? Did you come up with these copper 130 grain deals prior to meeting Steelhead? (As in independent thought)? Therefore resentful of his posts about said projectiles, or is this distasteful type keyboard behavior linked to perhaps Steelhead's alleged Troll like behavior? GW

I have waited to weigh in because I have never shot a black bear (not for lack of trying). But, a few were taken in our camp in Pennsylvania over the years back in the 80's-90's, and all were shot with plain old deer rifles (except for the one goober who shot an 80 pounder with a .300 Weatherby- he wasn't invited back). In fact the biggest of the lot was a 400 pounder killed with one shot from a .243. My god, I still ache from helping to get that bugger up out of the woods 25 years ago!
As I recall most everybody there was using .30-30s, Savages, Amish assault rifles (760s), etc. I was the odd duck (surprised?) who mostly carried a Mannlicher-Schoenauer .257 Roberts back then.

killed a black bear at about 130-140 yds in New Mexico a couple of years ago. Used my 1954 99EG in 300 Svg 180 gr Federal PP. One shot kill. I believe I provided a pic here but I don't know how to locate it...My guide was a little worried that the 300 would do the trick but you guys here gave all the encouragement I needed

She's going through menopause, has been for the past several years. She says she living, vajayjay all hurt. Then like a bad cold, she's back. She's right inline behind the most stupid man in the world, another Oregon member, surprise surprise. At the going right I think she'll end up on top of Jeff Olsen.
