I recommend .270, 7x57 calibers, and a lot of practice. Don't start him out shooting too much at one time, but over time increase the number of shots at the range or practice time. Can even use a Past recoil pad on his shoulder to start with. Animals with thicker coats often soak up the blood making for hard to follow trails. You owe it to the bear a caliber to do the job, and nothing more disappointing than not finding a shot animal, JMHO, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
