What would your selection be?
Want some opinions on what load from the below list would you use for black bear? I will be hunting them in PA where they can easily push 400 lb. I believe the record is somewhere in the 800 lb class. Range will be <100 yds.
OK here are the choices:
.45 cal - 200 gr 40 cal bullet - 80 gr Pyrodex P
50 cal. - 240 gr 44 cal Horn XTP - 90 gr FFFg
50 cal - 275 gr Maxihunter - 100 gr FFFg
50 cal - 320 gr REAL - 90 gr FFFg
54 cal - 230 gr PRB - 80 gr Pyrodex RS
Accuracy is not an issue - all above loads are accurate in their respective rifles.
