[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 657396, member: 13833"] I talked to the bear killer yesterday and discovered that the original post needs a little correcting. He did shoot the bear twice because he said it was attempting to get up all though it never did get to its feet. He also said that the bullets "did not" pass through as he thought but were under the hide. He saw the holes in the rib cage when he field dressed it and assumed they had passed through. I think he was a little excited!:D One of the bullets came apart and he only found pieces of jacket. The other was intact and weighed 65 grains. This was a little more in line with what I would have expected from a 162 A-Max at this distance (the combination of the two). I told him to GET ME SOME PICS so hopefully they are forthcoming........Rich [/QUOTE]
