    Another bear taken last evening. 180gr Barnes TSX at 2780fps out of the 8x57 did the trick. Dropped on the spot.

    Had a great evening sealing the deal on this black bear. 80 yard shot w/ the 8x57js. A single 180gr Barnes TSX bullet at 2780fps, dropped the bear on the spot. Nice entry and exit hole with very little meat damage.
