[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1283114, member: 74902"] I got 5 1/2 ft spring bear 3 years ago. 210 yards with a 300 WSM and a 210 VLD. First shot put it down for good I feel, but it started a death moan, so I immediately hit it again. One of the bullets left a 1 1/2 inch L shaped exit wound from a perfect broadside shot. This spring I plan on using the same 300 WSM with 178 ELD-X. Figure that should be good from close to 500 yards or so. Just depends on how far out in the open it is. I hunt them by myself and like something that can pin them down where they stand. The country is steep and I don't want it running off into a bottom. A good 6.5 might be ok, but wouldn't use a 6.
