He owns a .308,.270 and a .300 Win Mag. He is going to shoot the 300 and was wanting to know if the .308 for his wife would have enough to cleanly take a bear from up there. I will be loading for this excursion. He is not sure if she could shoot the .270 without issues. She has not hunted large game before and shot the 270. I dont know if they will be stand hunting or stalking.
Whatcha think? Thanks.
Either would work for a black bear. I'd pick the .308 myself, as I use a 30/06. Does your friend have very many preference points for our draw? Here is what he can expect.
