Hi Guys, I am going to western PA for early muzzleloader and my friends father-in-law said he has problems with bear around his cabin and asked if I would come out for bear season as well. I have a Marlin in 35rem and im using hornady ftx for that. I want to bring my 12fv 308 1 in 10twist as well if I have a shot over 75yards. I only have a load for the 168g hornady a-max. I know some guys use this for deer. will this be ok? if I dont have time to work up a load what over-the-counter ammo should I use??
Thanks, Pete
P.S. the Cabin is off old exit 4 on rt.80
