I hunt mostly PA with rifle. Currently white tail and black bear overlap and I would like to make a solid choice for both. Chances at bear are unlikely, but, I dont want to let one walk because im under-gunned either. Shooting a 6.5 creed. Leaning toward Sierra GK 140gr. I have used their 165 GK in my 30-06 with great success. The one exception was a neck shot at 50yds on a BB. I got pass through and tremendous blood, but no BB after tracking about 6 miles. It was my 1st BB and I know I made the critical mistake of not taking a 2nd shot. I will have better knowledge next time.
