Howdy fellas I'm looking for advice and experiences on shooting black bear with a 243 win . My shots will be under 250 yards spot and stalk or waiting at water . I own more potent caliber but I shoot this super accurate rifle well and has put 7 deer down this year with 95 gr balistic tips and 80 gr Barnes ttsx 80 gr. with out issue. The ttsx loading gave full penetration but seemingly slow to kill with a vital shot deer running 50 to 100yds. The ballistic tip either dropper them in place or they ran less than 50 yds but only exited about 50% of the time with obvious core separation. Any advice or suggestions is appreciated.
