that .500SW should be plenty gun for the bear alone.

when we go bear hunting behind hounds, most of the guys shoot 30-30win in lever guns. i just use my deer rifle (.270win). uncle got his one year with a .243win and my pops got both his with a .44mag pistol. i guess cartridge consideration isn't as big a deal as being able to shoot great. anything with decent power will get the job done. we always take head shots btw so we tend to not use any HP's.
