| which caliber would you use for a black bear hunt? |
A little pain never hurt anyone,

| A properly placed well constructed bullet from either chambering will work well. |
Training&Trigger Time are more important than chasing a hardware Holy Grail.

It is very important that you post pictures of both rifles.
Also, the moon gravity that bears exert this time of year might limit the maximum penetration of the 7 mm bullet, so I'd go with a fast and tough 6,5 mm bullet that can punch through really well. |
