[QUOTE="Troutslayer, post: 206519, member: 4354"] I dispatched a wounded elk with one of those solid bullets once. The bullet entered through the chest cavity, went through the heart, then through the spine where it hit the hide and made a 90 degree turn running down between the hide and flesh to the tail. I found it while skinning and it was barely dented. I was fairly impressed and figure one of those would penetrate a skull pretty easy but wouldn't do much damage to the vitals. IMO bear spray is just as good of protection, especially considering the reams of paperwork and questioning you'll have to endure if you shoot a griz even if you think it was in self defense.
