JimT Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I am not going to bring a rifle at all this year to bear camp. I am going to switch between the bow and my mz. I am planning on using the same load for my mz as I do for deer. Think it is ok? Black bears over bait at about thirty yards or less. 100gr of Pyrodex and a 250gr ShockWave bullet. Medium to average bears are the norm. 150-250 pounds. Some guys think I should bump up to 150gr of powder, but I do not really think it is necassary. What do you think?

lil hunter Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Bear Load Thoughts I think that sounds like plenty enough. Especially at that range. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
