I'm going on my first black bear hunt this September.
It will take place in Maine.
I am told buy the guild my longest shot will be 75 yards.
The Calibers and Guns I have to Choise from in my current line up are:
Rem 700 264win mag with 26" barrel.
Rem 7 in 260 rem with 20" barrel.
Marlin 336 in 30/30.
I can handload for all of these but the 30/30 i would just use Lever Rev factory loads.
or do i buy a bigger gun?
If I buy a bigger gun I'm thinking 325WSM.
Any thoughts?
