Going bear hunting, and have two loads at my disposal, both .308 win.
180gr Barnes X at about 2350 fps.
220gr Nosler Partition at about 2200 fps.
I'd like your advice on which one you'd select.
Also, should I get lucky enough to bag one, well, I'm not much a trophy hunter, draw cow tags every year for elk because I hunt for the meat, anything on a bear worthy of my culinary expertise?? Backstrap, etc. any good?
How hard is it to get a hide off one and made into a nice rug??
Thanks
Tom
