[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2999654, member: 69192"] No I am not into subsonic at all. I black bear hunt over bait. I have plenty of rifles to black bear hunt, but it is hard to find a really large caliber Ruger 77 short action in anything larger than a .358 Winchester, and...I already have one. This cartridge is a real thumper and what I am looking for. I know there are a lot of people who will say that killing a black bear with a .243 Winchester is quite easy, but...killing is one thing, the other is "finding" it after the bear is shot. In Maine a bear can disappear into some impenetrable, tough tracking growth that is almost impossible to track a bear in without a blood trail. Our experience has been that a through-and-through penetration is what is needed. This cartridge with a monolithic ought to do just that and it will be in a 6.5-7 pound rifle. I have already tried the Ruger gunsite scout, I do not like the box magazine. The last hunt that I was on I was sitting in the ground blind only to find the box magazine in my lap. Great rifle, not for me. [/QUOTE]
