Yesterday, 325 yards from sitting, no rest. Used my .30-06 Rem 700 CDL with an old 2-7x Redfield. Ammo was handloaded 165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip over H4350 for abotu 2900 fps. One shot and done. I like that.
Regards, Guy

Re: 2016 Washington Black Bear
That's indeed an ethical kill. Only one shot to put the bear out of its misery. Great marksmanship!
