I don't want a fragmenting OTM round for game I'm going to eat. A 62 or 70gr TSX round would be more ideal I think. A good mushrooming bullet will still ruin a good bit of meat, but less than a fragmenting round.
As far as 5.56 on bear... I wouldn't do it on Arkansas black bear. I imagine an Oregan bear is/could be a good bit bigger. I'd want something with a little more juice per squeeze. |

I would use something in the 308 variety myself.
If you are set on using 223 go with the 70g tsx, they penetrate deep and expand well. I would absolutely not use a fragmenting OTM. |

I killed a 150lb wild dog using the 77gr MK262. One shot stop and the round did not exit the carcass. Dumped all it's energy making it DRT. I actually shot 15 wild dogs the largest being 150lbs. All were on shot stops with no exit wounds using the MK262.

My only bear was taken with a bow. I have taken quite a few deer with the AR. I highly recommend the 70gr TSX if you might use your AR on a bear. It is very accurate and very effective. The OTM's are not predictable enough for me.
YMMV. |

I have killed several whitetail deer with 77gr otm, and several hogs. It will kill, but much prefer 62gr tsx for more dependable results.

3 this year, all excellent results. I will happily use it again.
