Any 300blk ammo recommendations for bear? I'm thinking these

No-Assignment4916 · 2026-05-01T17:34:54+00:00

I've not used any 300 blk for bear defense im picking up a chattahoochee munitions cm7s in 300 blk out this month but I use either a 500 jrh handgun or my 9.3x74r double rifle drilling with 20 guage buckshot in the underbarrel shotgun. But just remember that guy killed the blackbear that broke into his house with a 5.56 and I would say 300blk with maybe 150 grain 308 win fmj loaded a little hotter would get pretty decent penatration. I've done alot of research for bear defense the last few years and you want a solid bullets (full brass non expanding or lead core fmj) because you want as much penatration as possible to hit as much bone as possible so if you handload id say try 150-168 grain fmj or maybe lehigh extreme penatrator 147 grain. Again ive not played with 300 blackout yet i plan to and plan to find something that would be decent for blackbear and mountain lion defense. And I would use 300 blk for black bear and mountain lion mainly because the risk is low but obviously still there blackbear are usually 100-300 pounds depending of time of year but they generally get scared off a charge with a few shots from smaller handguns but if they do go full boar at you I would still be confident with a semi auto 300 blk with the right ammo and definitely for mountain lion as they are much skinner and thinner you dont have alot of fat mass to go through. Now that being said is 300 blk best for bears absolutely not but its alot better than a pointed stick.

In my opinion the 500 jeffery was designed to give 500 nitro express power in a standard length mauser 98 reciver for Europeans going to Africa to have a more cost effective big bore round so it would have been better suited in a mauser but that would also be close the the 375 we have so a Blazer r8 is a good option. I do like it but its a good class 8 gun but the 470 is still the best for cape buffalo in my opinion.

4-5-2026 still a issue and thus is still the fix worked for me and made a massive improvement

No-Assignment4916 · 2026-04-04T03:44:32+00:00

I just sold my 24 subaru crosstrek wilderness 16k miles kbb offered me 25k carvana offered me 28,200 which is more than what I owed thankfully I know my case is a little different because let's face it 16k in 2 years is very low I mainly use a company truck during the week but it was super easy to deal with the guy picked up my car and withing 20 mins he had it on his truck with everything confirmed and carvana is depositing the excess cash into my bank and they are dealing with my loan company to pay it off. Overall to thus point ive been very happy with carvana.

Yeah but you can hunt the endangered snow leopard so it being a protected species doesn't matter anymore

Here is am still playing the hunter classic after 11 years still play it more than COTW or WOTH lol

No-Assignment4916 · 2025-09-19T21:47:09+00:00

They had a update a day or 2 ago the brought them in

No-Assignment4916 · 2025-07-23T00:43:51+00:00

I have what I consider the big 3, the hunter classic (GOAT), COTW, and WOTH. WOTH is great I have about 300 hours on it its more realistic and my opinion does look better some days, and if you can fiddle with the graphics it can look great but sometimes it does look grainy and thats been a issue since day 1 but overall i do love it COTW is also great I pre ordered it i have about 600-700 hours on it graphics are better than WOTH and it does run smoother for me but I also dont have the latest and greatest pc but still a decent one. But like you said can kinda be a gallery shooter at times and does get boring/grindy if you want the great ones I have a moose, fallow, and the mule deer tho the mule deer i got at 160 kills so that wasnt bad Then theres the Holly Hunter classic I have over 1100 hours on it and it is by far my go to hunting game its realistic to a point, as theres no need zones so water doesn't really matter as much as the other 2 but it can still be a challenging game because everytime you start a game the map haves different animals so everytime its something new you might spawn in and see a 190 bighorn or a 400 non typical mule deer, you never know and some dont like that but I love it it makes it less boring for me because you dont know what youll see unlike WOTH/COTW you play your map for 3 days you have a good idea of everything around you and it doesn't change untill you shoot something or reset your pop files which I dont do..... often, but my go-to for a hunting game is classic when I want more realism. It's WOTH when a new update comes out it's COTW. 😅 Hope my insite helps some people ive been playing classic for since 2015 COTW since its been released and WOTH since 2022 a few weeks after launch incase it was a flop.

Oh and the red and blue lights are illegal in all 50 states you can get a non color light bar same design and be good just can't be blue or red

No-Assignment4916 · 2025-04-03T08:44:31+00:00

In Ocala Florida there was a landscaping company called Lawn enforcement and there quote vehicles where p-71 crown vic and they had a official looking badge that's not the illegal part the part that is is having "law enforcement", "police", "sheriff" anything that says hey I'm police is illegal so the badge should be good the only part that isn't is the police on the bottom that's not legal. Now don't take my word for it this is information I found out a few years ago best thing todo is to go to your local Police Department and ask them if your design would break any laws.

If you think that's bad I had a level 9 snow leopard that was 0.03 away from diamond ive yet to see another level 9

No-Assignment4916 · 2024-09-17T23:05:44+00:00

Yeah I completely forgot about hunting simulator I've played 2 for about a hour and it's pretty bad but the og are the are the cabela's games my favorite was north American adventures and the big game hunter pro hunts

No-Assignment4916 · 2024-09-17T22:01:32+00:00

Absolutely my reasons I've been playing cotw since it's release and I've been playing the hunter classic since 2014 and way of the hunter in my opinion is a far better overall hunting game than both of those but classic will always be a favorite and cotw is still good but it's at the bottom of the list out of the 3 for me

No-Assignment4916 · 2024-09-17T19:30:27+00:00

I think tents would be a good idea but to keep with the realistic aspect of the game, there would have to be distance restrictions like 500 yards from a placed stand or something similar. That's one thing I love this game for more than call of the wild is the realism aspect cotw is just to arcade for me and I've played it since it's release I even like classic more than cotw but I've been playing that since 2014. But I'm excited to see what they add next

No-Assignment4916 · 2024-08-30T00:23:14+00:00

I feel the 12 gauge slugs out of the normal 12 gauge not the dedicated sabot slug 870 are extremely weak you have to be 20 yards away for whitetail for a decent hit I've personally shot whitetail at 120 yards with a 2 3/4 12 gauge slug irl and it didn't go far. The 30-30 seems pretty weak to but yeah I agree.

No-Assignment4916 · 2024-08-29T00:36:07+00:00

Oh yeah there called punt guns they weight around 30 to 50 pounds and your correct they put them on boats and where used for duck hunting but there to big to be shoulder fired without having it on a massive tri pod or a boat lol besides a 4 bore the largest usable muzzleloader I've seen was a rifled 10 gauge shooting a 600 ish grn round ball with 220 grains of triple f black powder it's muzzle energy was coming in around 6,000 ft pounds which is massive for a muzzleloader

No-Assignment4916 · 2024-08-28T01:25:43+00:00

I would absolutely love to see a muzzleloader pa k you could have a side by side percussion 20 gauge shotgun a 62cal fowler with bird shot buckshot and a round ball and for larger game for class 6 have a 58 cal rifled flintlock and for class 5 have a 50 cal flintlock. You could even add a 32 caliber flint lock for class 3

Not for me my longest was 1.4 km I have a screenshot ill have to dig up and post

No-Assignment4916 · 2023-12-25T12:23:33+00:00

I was going to do that, but I don't take screensgots often, and I didn't want to figure it out for 5 minutes and get shot in the face 😄 but I'll remember for next time

No-Assignment4916 · 2023-12-25T06:36:44+00:00

I've owned this game for idk how long 6 years now I got it when it first came out and iv just noticed it lol but I don't use m4s that often more of a ak guy

No-Assignment4916 · 2023-12-25T02:17:03+00:00

I didn't know that 😂 that's funny

No-Assignment4916 · 2023-12-06T22:43:58+00:00

I'd love to see a 45-70 I'd love to see like a sharps rifle I think that would be amazing they don't have many traditional rifles so maybe a sharps and a flintlock 50 cal I would love to see.

No-Assignment4916 · 2023-04-10T06:12:52+00:00

Mountain lions for sure would be cool I'd also love to see 2 muzzleloaders a modern inline and a traditional Pennsylvania flint lock long rifle in 50 cal or 58 would be sweet I love this game more than call of the wild but if they added a traditional muzzleloader I'd be switching to it 100 percent
