Black bear hunting opinions

[MRP]

I run a similar load with a jacketed 240, dual purpose with a S&W 629.

No issues with leading from the cast?

I been shooting the same cast that Hal been using in my .44 ranch hand for years at 900fps and in a .444 at 2300fps for a couple of years no leading problems.

I'm hunting bow only in BC until I get a PAL.

I have a Mathews V3X 33, 66lbs 30in draw. Hoping to zip a 440gr RIP TKO with a SEVR 2.0 or QAD Exodus through both lungs of a bear inside 40yds.

Hoping to get out this spring but I don't eat bear so hopefully someone will tell me they'll take a field-dressed bear dropped off at their door.

I'd be using a 6.5CM
