not that i am an expert but the 30-30 will do in any black bear walking i'll bet. the trick is to pick your shots. with something like a beefy .444 you can probably take an angling shot if needed, smash through the should and pulverize the lungs. 30-30 will break bones too but loses steam. just put the bullet where you should(behind the shoulder or in to the head) and you'll have a dead bear.
