Thanks for the info. It willbe of lots of help...accually my 13 year old son is the one who has the kill tag for norther Wisconsin. He had a choic between a 243 short mag and a in-line 50 cal. omega muzzleloader with 348 grain bullets and a 100 grains of powder. I figured that this would work good for bear because when we use a muzzleloader for whitetails...it puts a nice hole in them...with 245 grain bullets.

Thanks again
