Black Bear
What is the best round for black bear, thats not hard on the shoulder?
Me and my son are going on a black bear hunt in AZ. What is the best round to shoot it with I was just going to get him a new rifle. He is like 5’7 and weighs like 155. He is also 13 but he has shot only shotguns (12 gauge with bird shot). What is a good round for him. What about a 300 wsm or the 7mm mag
I bought my first 30-06 when I was 14 and haven’t been without one since,so that would be my cartridge of choice. It is well supported by every ammo loader and you can get anything from Reduced Recoil 110 grains that my 12 year can shoot to 220 grain that would take about anything down,at least in most of North America. I use 165 grain Bonded core bullets for deer and elk,could use 180 grain bullets;which I do recommend for the bear hunting. A controlled expansion or bonded bullet will provide proper expansion and weight retention when you need it most. Most important is making sure your son isn’t getting his shoulder bombed and becoming recoil shy,so start out with 150 factory ammo and work up. Then you want to study bear (and other animals you plan to hunt) anatomy to make sure you can hit the vital areas to take out the heart and lungs with a good shot–and teaching when not to shoot.
The 7mm Mag has similar recoil to the 30-06,but the 300 WSM would be too much recoil for a 13 year old. I have a 300 WSM and switching back to the 06 after shooting that is pure joy.He sounds pretty solid,but even I wince at the thought of getting a lot of time behind the 300,and he needs to be comfortable with the rifle to shoot well. So, I would get a 30-06 and then he would have a rifle to use forever. I hunt in Idaho and get shots from close to 400 yards to 30 feet and the 30-06 has never left me disappointed.
