deercutter,

The Nosler should be able to get the job done, but it wouldn't be my first choice. Most Bear guides suggest using a hard cast solid bullet. A bear's thick tissues & heavy bones can cause a bullet to mushroom & break up before it gets into the organs - and hollow points are much more susceptible to this kind of fragmentation than solids are.

Both Big Bore Express & Precision Rifle make excellent hard cast bullets for such applications.
