30/30 for bear
I used my 14" 30/30 year before last, took a 500 pounder. I was using 150 grain Hornady's and a near max dose of 3031, it seemed to shoot best for me. I'd probably go with 170 grains if I was planning on it again. Since then though I have been using my 45/70, seemed like a better idea and did the job real nice on my bear this year. 8) 8)
