Best Bullet GR Weight for Black Bear with 300 WM

[medvedyt]

Where do you shoot bears at?

Never had that issue with TMK, ELDM or VLD EH

never had an issue and even had partition going between ribs without touching bones and of course making lung soups: i still prefer copper bullet but that is just me and they work for me.

better than my explanation have a look at the residues of the cup and core in the ballistic gel.

My point was more where are you shooting bears to get your “bullet residue” in meat? I use TMK’s etc and shoot just slightly in front of center center with zero issues.

If you are getting bullets in shoulders, I hope it was a really sharp qtr’ing away angle…..

wherever you are shooting an animal bullet residue might affect your meat. what you can see in the gel might not be visible in the meat. unless you are recovering the bullet with the same weight as when it left your rifle you are getting residue.

i have shot bears in the neck, shoulders, in front of shoulders and head ...
