what bullet to use in a tc hawken for bear hunting, round ball, sabot or conical, I be bear hunting in pa. shots should be from 50-100 yards- thanks
Don't know what the average is now but 20 years ago it was in 420-450 lb. range. I used a conical on a 412 lb. animal (field dressed).OldMtnMan said:PA has some huge bears. I'd use a big conical.
OldMtnMan said:Get close and double lung shots or I don't pull the trigger.
HAVE DONE THE SAME
I'm thinking a heavy conical will bust through it. Not sure a PRB will and never tried it. It would be hard for me to take a shoulder shot to begin with.
THINK YOUR RIGHT WITH THE CONICAL POWER PETE
Every bear i've called in has come straight at me or quartering away a bit. Shoulder shot. I'm tired of passing up those shots.
MAYBE YOUR USING A MATING CALL ... :geek:
