+1....so practice like your life depends on your marksmanship and then go drop 1000+ pounds of meat on the ground with one well-placed 180TSX. Be sure to get pics of the bullet....if it doesn't pass all the way through.-------SS

I will be sure to take pictures of the hunt and bullet if it doesn't pass all the way through. We will be hunting black bears in South East Alaska. Average skull with the outfitter measures 19 1/2 inches with some bears hitting the 21 inch mark. Should be a good time. I hope to get a color phase bear! Leave on May 12th and back on May 21st.

Just got home from the hunt late last night. I shot a great black bear. I will post story and pics later. It squared out at 7 ft 8 in and the skull is 19 1/2. I shot it the last night. Thank you for your help on bullet suggestions. When I go again I will take a bigger gun, although my 30 06 knocked him down first shot. Those bears are tougher than most people think. They can take a lot of lead.
