[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2199254, member: 313"] Interesting - I've owned and extensively shot a LH 460 Wby myself. However, The only thing I shot with it was groundhogs. Penetration seemed adequate but recoil was well beyond "pleasant". I used the 45-70 to take many bears but none were BIG bears, just black bears up to 300lbs. Although I've killed them with many different bullets my favorite is still the Speer 400 JFN bullet with a muzzle velocity of 1,700 ft/sec. They readily expand but have enough momentum to take them out the other side of every bear I shot. [/QUOTE]
