how do you guys feel about using a 50 cal muzzleloader for black bear at a bait station 25 yard shot. any suggestions will be appreciated
I know several people here in Idaho that use 50 cal ML on black bear pretty regularly. Most of them are using a 300 grain or heavier bullet. If you can use copper clad bullets- I would say a Nosler partition or a Barnes would do a heck of a job. personally,I would use a 260 grain Nosler Partition without hesitation at the range you are suggesting.

Just my thoughts....
