Don't forget Underwood, 200gr XTP, or 220 HC : )

Honestly, a .30 caliber rifle or larger. Don't take this the wrong way. I love 10mm guns and just bought another one. But even a 30-30 hits harder.

Wouldn't have the slightest qualms about hunting Black Bear using 10mm loaded with any one if these...
Buffalo Bore 155gr TAC-XP
Underwood 200gr XTP
Hornady 200gr XTP
Hornady 180gr XTP
Sig sauer 180gr Elite V-Crown
Federal 180gr Trophy Bonded

Others 10mm options I might add into the mix....
Speer 200gr Gold Dot
Something from Underwood Xtreme Defender or Xtreme Hunter line.

Happy hunting, good luck!!

Your BB 220 grain would do very well. Just be sure to test for reliability before hunting dangerous game.
