I shot one with a 50 cal. at 50 yards ,I could see the blood spraying out the side of him instantly.He piled up after a 40 yard run. Good luck

I know people us the 50 cal. for elk and moose, so I'm sure it would be good for black bear.

bsurplus - I shot a doe with a .54 last year at about 45 yards and can see why you like it. Bang-flop!

as long as you have good shot placement you'll have one dead bear
