[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 203209, member: 313"] Bonded bullets would be a very good idea to ensure maximum penetration on a decent size bear. I also ASSUME that the 150gr charge that you are referring to is 150gr of 777 pellets. A 150gr grain charge of loose 777 is well over the maximum charge of any muzzleloader that I know of. A 120gr charge of loose 777 provides about the same velocity as 150gr of pellets. The whole ML propellant industry needs to get their act together because there is a considerable amount of confusion regarding maximum recommended charges of the various powders with sticks, pellets, loose, etc. [/QUOTE]
