==================================
I would prefer the 348 Aero-Tips myself. Bear have been harvested with as little as a .177 gr. roundball.... but more is always better when you're facing a black bear with a single-shot ML.
Whatever bullet you decide to use, be sure to have either a protective hunting blind or a.357 to .45 cal backup pistola with you. On rare occasions, a poorly placed bear shot will make it one angry &vengeful SOB.
