Re: Choice of Rifle/ Caliber for black bear hunt.
|
Here in BC, we consider that the 7 mm mag is the minimum for Black Bear.
On the smaller cartridges, ie non magnum, the 30 - 30 has taken lots of bears.
For a reallyBIG bear, I think that your 35 whelan or a 338 win mag would be the smallest I would use. If I knew that I was going for a really big bear, I would dig out my 375 H&H, as that would take care of any black around.
