Default RE: Black Bear Loads

If i was you, i'd work up one load for each gun and stick with it! Doing so will let you learn where that gun/load shoots and you will be a better game shot with it.

For Alaska, in my .338-06 i settled on 250 Nosler pattitions, and in my 30-06's, my one load for everything is the 200 Nosler partition. The .338/250 Gran Slams i used broke up on heavy bone, and for me that's unaceptable so i quit them. Perhaps they are better these days, but i have no reason to experiment with them (again) as the NP's are the finest all around bullet ever devised!!!

I used these guns and loads all over Alaska includeing Prince William Sound, (includeing for bear) and that's what i'd use today too.
