[QUOTE="Catahoula, post: 1283187, member: 28707"] I would not be scared of a 243 for bear. Killed my 2nd biggest bear with an 85 grain Sierra BTHP. It was early in May (May 2) & I just went hiking to scout for sign. Still a lot of snow. Well, as luck would have it I spotted a 6 foot blackie quartering towards me in some quakies. I put the bullet in his ribs & he ran about a 60 yards & piled up in a snow drift. My hunting buddy killed a 6 footer last spring with his 223 AR shooting the Winchester 64 grain spitzer. It is more about where you place the shot than what you are shooting. Thanks, Kirk [/QUOTE]
