In Alaska a 300 lb black is huge. A 600 lb black is imaginary, or a mistaken ID on an inland grizzly. A 150 lb black is typical. I am aware of the occasional freakish bruiser in the lower 48. I think the record was over 800 lbs with a PA bear. My point is you don't need a gun big enough for TV bears. Most are like large dogs, and if you do run across a larger one, he probably got that way by staying very far away from humans.
