[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2334141, member: 26077"] It will work perfectly on black bear. Millions of Bison were killed with a 500 grain bullet at 1100 to 1200 fps and they are a hell of a lot bigger and tougher than a bear. You will almost never require a second shot on any black bear you hit with this load. People who have only shot modern rounds do not understand how lethal a big bore round is at anything over 1000 fps. Velocity affects the trajectory but is has no effect on the killing power of these cartridges. My belief is you will get a complete pass through at whatever range you shoot it. The army tested 500 grain 45 70 at 2 miles back in the 1860s or so and it would penetrate oak wood barricades. Go shoot a bear and let me know what u think. I will bet dollars to donuts you will be amazed at the smackdown it provides. [/QUOTE]
