I would bump up to a quality 165gr bullet. That is kind of splitting the difference between fps and knockdown power.

I agree with this.

Black bear aren't that hard to kill. A 308 is perfect for bear. Like said above, any whitetail round can be used. I love the 308 myself, took a nice 4 pt this past weekend. Dropped him at 170 yards one shot. Regular old remington corelokts did the job.

Love my Ruger m77 308, using either 150 or 180 remington core loks. If they don't drop on impact, they leave a hell of a blood trail.
