My cousin killed a big boar bear about 500 lbs with a 6mm rem. But you can see powder burns on the rug. The bear was in a rock hole bayed by dogs. He killed other bears with hid 6mm all bayed by dogs. Others in his hunting parties uses 243 some times but most of the bears are in trees or in rock piles. But most of the hunters use 45/70 leaver guns are old standard 30/30.
