Seems strange that an individual would think a 338 grain lead projectile couldn't reliably kill black bear, knowing that 230 grain round ball have been killing black bear for centuries. They say history education is lacking in our schools; perhaps some are ignorant of the facts. The facts are 170g, and 230g prb have been killing black bear successfully, as you write, for HUNDREDS of years. Wouldn't a 338 grain lead bullet do better than a lighter weight round ball?
