i bought a Ruger No.1 in 280 Remington primarily for white tail deer but the area I’ll be hunting there are Black Bear and tons of wild hogs. My first bullet choice was a Federal trophy bonded 160grain and the No.1 doesn’t like them at all! It shoots a 140 grain core lock great. I wanted a bonded bullet just Incase I ran into a self defense situation with a Bear. I know the likelihood of it is very low but every year we read a story about a deer hunter getting attacked by a bear. Think the 140 grain core lock will drop a 450lb black bear if the situation did happen. I’m just concerned with penetration
