[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 660013, member: 313"] OK - Here's some recent firsthand experience. I shot this bear just the other day using a Marlin 1895SBL in 45-70. I shoot a Barnes 300gr XFP bullet at 2,000 ft/sec. Impact velocity had to be 1,990 ft/sec at the distance I shot him. The big gaping HP bullet entered the left shoulder and blew out through the right shoulder, literally knocking the bear over and rolling him on his back. He was still moving for several seconds so I took another shot. Second bullet entered through the ribs angling forward. It penetrated his neck on a diagonal and was captured by his hide on the off side. Bear died abruptly. Recovered bullet weight was 242gr with 4 petals broken off. Bullet base was completely intact with some noticeable creases along its length. [IMG]http://www.hunt101.com/data/506/medium/Slipp_Bros_Lodge_-_May_2012_0261.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
