....Two Super-Geezers, one with cancer and the other with debilitating pain from injury and arthritis....

They have old rifles, old ammunition, old eyes, and old hands.

They're talking about using an Electronic Predator Call.

Electronic Predators!?

They want to hunt a Black Bear with their old rifles.

(How the bear got ahold of their old rifles, we will never know.)







They both have 300 Savage 99's. (Added together, that's 600 very old savages.... A Force to Be Reckoned With.)


Would this cartridge be a good choice to kill a Big Black Bear? (Looking for opinions - or even better, experiences with this round.)

Remember you don't need to be faster than the bear, just your partner.

Howard, I have used CoreLokts for 45 years, never had one fail to do the job! Black Bears have fairly large heart lung targets and bleed out quickly when hammered in the spots you were taught to shoot!
