You lucky dog. I have always wanted to try that. What type of gun are you using? At 25 yds you will have no problem. I shoot the 250gr Shockwaves with 100gr of Pyro and have great results out to 100 yds. You can use any type of bullet, the bigger the better just read your manual on loading and projectile type and you can't go wrong. I haveread guys shooting bear are using big conicals with 80gr of loose powder. Let us know if you score. Where are you hunting at? In the winter or spring? I would love to get to New Brunswick someday as this is the mother load on black bear hunting. Good luck.
