Black Bear Hunting

I have a question for you guys on black bear hunting. What are your thoughts for size of gun and type of bullet for black bears? I usually load Noslers at a 180 gr. for 300 Win Mag. There are several new Nosler bullets out now. Any of you have any experience with them?

First of all, you need to wait the right amount of time after the shot before tracking a wounded animal. I've heard estimates of waiting 30 minutes for a hit in the vitals and 5-8 hours for a...
