[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 943792, member: 22242"] I personally prefer large diameter heavy for caliber bullets... never been much of a minimalist. I have used 375 rum and 338 win on black bear this year I will be using a 416 Rigby. You want to break Bones so you need to equip yourself to do so. I have only been bear hunting for going on 3 years this will be my 5th season because I bait spring and fall. I have seen several bears killed in the last couple years over my baits. I have yet to see one fall where it was dead. My dad shot one with a 300wby in the neck. it dropped and rolled down the hill. when he hiked up to retrieve it he charged my dad. People say they are not as tough as they look. I dont know how I feel about that. they dont have thick hide but skin one out and look at the bone structure then tell me its not an impressive animal. They are unbelievably dense with muscle too. knowing what I do about bears I am very much in favor of heavy for caliber bullets and large diameter if possible...there is no down side to it [/QUOTE]
