For bear, bullet construction matters more than sheer weight. Your 180gr Accubonds or 200gr Partitions are excellent choices if they shoot accurately in your Tikka. Prioritize a controlled expansion bullet that will penetrate deeply over maximum velocity. A double-lung shot is indeed the preferred aimpoint, just behind the shoulder at the mid-body line. The 300 WSM with proper bullets is more than adequate for black bear.
