[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2801598, member: 75451"] There are several mentions about bears being easy to kill……this is quite true! Especially over baits, or treed by hounds, where shot placement is easy. It’s even been said that the average bear is no larger or harder to kill than the average Whitetail……true again! However, who in the hell goes out intending to shoot average? 🤔 The cartridge is already “somewhat marginal” for a worst case scenario…..why further compound the “possible” problems using a “less than premium” bullet. Both of these issues should weigh heavily into the equation….if it may be a one time hunt. If the hunter will have or has had many opportunities…..use anything that is thought to be adequate! As seen in my signature line…. I try to prepare for the unforeseen possibilities! These are JMO’s! memtb [/QUOTE]
