Go 150 grain Winchester ballistic silvertip or the Federal Premium
150 grain Nosler Partition.Very accurate and will flat put em down.

I would guess that the 270 would be in the top 4 or five all time game getters in centerfire rifles. Along with the 30-30, 30-06 375 H&H 303 British,45-70 and the 7x57. More recently add the 243 and 308.

James B has been hitting 'em dead center here for a very long time.....well worth listening to!

All my hunting rifles are in .270 except one in 30-06

RE: What .270 Bullet for Black Bear
 

I certainly hope you meant this in jest. One of my sergeants once called my .270 "a varmint rifle". So the day after I'd killed two 300+ pound blackies with it, (2 shots with the 150 grain Nosler Partition, one at 30 yards, the other at 200+) he said "well, them bears ain't nuthin' but varmints"......

Use the 150-grain Nosler partition. Load them with an accurate load that gives you+-2800 FPS MV. The bears will die. if you get the bullet into their chest cavity, that is.

Shouldn't you be in the Young Hunters Forum?[8D]

What has already been said. Any good bullet 150 gr out of a 270 will be more than enough for a black bear.
