[QUOTE="Nsghunter, post: 4271238, member: 14436"] I am looking to hunt black bear in CNF this October. I'm not sure what bullet construction to use. I think I want 180gr with a cxp3 style expansion. Problem is I really don't know which bullet that would be. I was think partitions but they are supposedly a little harder/slower to expand than the bullet I want. Black bear can run fast and 2nd shots are supposedly rare, the fatty tissue supposedly leaves little in regards to a blood trail and let's not forget they may even chase me down. I was hoping for a bullet that may penetrate more effectively in hopes to stop them quickly or break bones that the shot may encounter.they are supposed to be tough. Please no flaming if I'm wrong I'm wrong but I'm new to this. I prefered to try to handload the rounds but I may just go with box ammo. Most of the bear are around or below the 300 lb raring but some are larger. The bigger ones are the ones are the reason I thought partition. [/QUOTE]
