[QUOTE="griz375, post: 2826447, member: 29642"] Yes, a 230gr Remington hollow point only penetrated about 5", the shot broke the jaw and fortunately severed the brain stem otherwise things could have gone alot differently. Will it work? Yes! but do I carry factory bullets made for softer targets in bear country ever again? NO. If what you have is a 45 acp I highly recommend +p hard cast or a non expanding monolithic such as the Lehigh Defense Extreme Penetrator. Breaking bones is more important than soft tissue damage when dealing with bears. Bears don't motor along very well after having a shoulder broken, especially if their charging down hill. My Personal choice for a factory load in a 45 acp to be carried in bear country would be the Underwood Ammo 200 grain Extreme Penetrator. [/QUOTE]
