A conventional cup & core bullet like the Remington core-lokt or a Hornady would really work fine on a black bear. That big 35 caliber bullet will make a nice hole.
The 200 grainer would be fine, but the 35W will throw a 250 grain bullet to great effect. Higher BC and even better penetration. It's good to have an exit wound with a black bear in case you need to track it.
