Black bear hunting opinions

[Dench]

I'll be using a 7 rem mag. Not sure what I'll shoot out of it yet, though.

Yup scotch yes, Stogies never, mustard yes. But I’ll drink what even I’m given, even take a spring bear, but it’s got to be toooooo easy to turn down. High class Hart Highway Hill Billy, just like Beverly Hills only no see-ment pond.

If you and I ever share a fire, I'll make sure there is a good whiskey to drink. AND you were the closest guy to the reclaim on my hog pile!! moosin

I'll be using a 7 Rem Mag with Barnes 150 Gr TTSX's. My gun groups them great! The sweet spot is middle of the middle and just a bit towards the front.

Bullet Barn 240 gr over 21 gr of IMR4227
light for a rifle load, but was a dual purpose load for use in a SW 29

30-06 Hornady outfitter 180 Cx.

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

No issues with leading from the cast?

My daughter just turned 10 and is super excited to FINALLY be of age, it’s been a long wait to get to the magical 10! Some bear will be taking a 6mm partition in the boiler room this spring!
