What .270 Bullet for Black Bear

RE: What .270 Bullet for Black Bear
I would use the 150 or 160 grain Partition bullet. However even a good 130 grain bullet like the Partition or Barnes TXS will do the job on Black Bears. I also wouldn't hesitate to use the 150 Grain Hornady interlock.

270 ain't good for killin much, unless you believe o'conner, and he's dead.

The same guy that says Bigbulls may need to learn how to shoot says a 270 aint good for killin much....ohhh the irony..
I bet there'd be a different answer if it was chambered ina Weatherby rifle...
Just about any 150 grain or a quality 130 grain like James said will work. Seen several killed with 150 core lokts...and the blackies dont get much bigger than they do in this area.

That being said, a .270 is just fine for taking one.
150 grain Partition, Interlock, just about anything really, and you have no worries... if 130 grain, go with a premium round.
Put the bullet in the boiler room, same result....dead bear.
Good luck to your friend !!

I've killed a number of canadian black bears though only one with a CF. "Big breath" that was with a Hornady Interlock Sp 130gr fired from a 270 win. The little rascal flattened the boar with a single shot and no steps taken after the hit. Lucky I guess!
As far as bullets I'd suggest the likes of Nosler Partition, Swift AFrame, Hornady Interlock sp, Speers TBBC or Barnes TSX. 130-150gr.
Good Luck
