I wouldn't use a 243 on a bear, but not for the reasons mentioned so far. My thinking is that if you do shoot a bear (of any type) with a 243, you are going to probably have to track the bear. I don't know about you guys, but I really don't want to track a wounded bear.

So...I say that you should get more gun.
