Somebody needs to tell the outfitter that I will be using this fall on a black bear hunt that those Corelokt's and Ballistic Tips are no good!
Those are the exact bullets that he recomended to me to load up for close shots over bait, 30-60 yards. Seeing as how this outfitter was recomended to me by one of the leading bear hunters and author of three books on hunting black bears I figure the guy must know what he is talking about. I was all set to load up some Nosler Partitions or Speer Mag Tips but he said no. Go with CoreLokt's or Ballistic Tips so that's what I'm going to do. 8mmMauser, 185 grain Corelokt's @2600fps and 30-06 180 grain Corelokt's @2700fps. If the Good Lord sees fit to let me take a bear, I'll report back with bullet performance.
