good black bear medicine???

Read the sign ! :D
At the diner yesterday a fellow was talking about bear at a location near where he was hunting . They took 9 or 10 bear on opening day there !
I asked where was that ? A place called " Bear Swamp " !! :rolleyes::)
 
The .270 will work fine for bear, just use the heaviest, most durable bullets that you can find. The Nosler Partition is an outstanding bullet for hunting larger animals such as black bear. Black bears aren't bullet proof by any means, but they are much tougher than deer. Make a good shot into the heart/lungs of one and he won't go far. Don't try to get creative and shoot for the head, you are more likely to miss or wound the bear than to kill it.
 
My grandfather took 2 grizzleys and many a moose with only a .270. :eek: He was a braver man than I am! Although he did have a Llama .44 mag on his hip just in case.
 
The 270wsm is an excellent caliber. Ballistics similar to a 7mm rem mag but in a short action. I would suggest either a nosler partition or a barnes tsx either one will hold together at faster speeds and close range.
