[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 2517259, member: 77249"] A bear is not armor plated. But you have to pick, What do I want to do to the bear? Do I want to break both shoulders and stand him on his nose, You want a well constructed bullet that will break bone and exit the other side. Or do you want to shoot him in the magic pop can chest shot? You want a bullet that will do a lot of destruction and make a 2nd hole in the hide. Fat fall bear needs a big exit hole so fat won't plug it. I tracked a bear over a mile in Maine shot twice in the shoulder with a 45-70 with 300 Gr. Win. factory loads, At 30 yds. I field dressed the bear and cut into the chest both lungs and heart was perfect. There was 2 small blood shot strips on the inter ribs. The bears shoulder was busted but no penetration through chest to opposite shoulder to stand it on its nose. I have killed several bears, Hunted bear in Canada and Maine. As a wild life officer I worked bear country for 15 years, Road crippled Bear, live stock, orchard damage, bee damage Bears. My go to rifles was 270 Win. 150 Nosler part. or 308 Win. 150 Gr. Nosler part. Killed a couple with Win. 150 gr. HP 357 Mag. out of 4 in. barrel revolver. All DRT. but 1 it run about 30 ft. [/QUOTE]
