Default Bear gun

Hey everyone,

I'm planning to go bear hunting for the first time this spring and wondering what I should bring along with me for a firearm.

I have a 243, 270, and 300win. I'm not keen to take the 270 as it was my late grandfather's gun and is in excellent shape. It also seems to be VERY picky with ammo, Winchester super x being the most accurate.

That said, am I better off with the 243 (100gr partition) or 300win (180gr partition) hunting over bait in both cases? I'm hoping to get a rug out of this so fur friendly is a consideration.

Any advice (on gun, baiting, or otherwise) is appreciated!
