i would say any of the 150's would be just fine...

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

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.

I'll pass the info along to my buddy.

Thanks guys.

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.
