Best Bullet for Bear Defence?
 

Using standard big game hunting rifles ranging in power from a 30-06 and 7mm on up to a .300 and .338, what do you think is the most effective bullet when protecting yourself against a charging black bear or grizzly bear? Nosler Accubond? Nosler Partition? TBBC? and so on....???

I will say Nosler Partitions..........on the other hand, running faster than your hunting buddy or guide is an alternative........:D

lol ... that is very true :D.

The biggest you can get. Also, you might want to consider a pistol since it's easier to shoot yourself with in case you miss. After all you don't want to be taken prisoner by a wounded grizz....
