[QUOTE="Ernie Scar, post: 1605439, member: 16345"] Not that it matters much but the last grizzly I shot I killed him with 150gr Lapua Scenars. These bullets started out at about 3180 FPS. He was only about 100 yards, first shot went through both lungs and exited and the second shot he had turned and was running away, bullet traveled up behind the last rib and out of the muscle on the far shoulder and exited also. He probably went no farther than 20 yards and it was over. None of the holes in the hide were big but I opened him up after I got the hide off and there was significant damage to his lungs. He was a fairly large Brooks Range bear. I didn’t specifically go out to hunt bears with this bullet he was taken on a sheep hunt but I wouldn’t be afraid to use them again in a similar situation. I think the Partition, A-Frame, TSX, and the Trophy Bonded core bullets would be what I used if a bear was what I was specifically after but still there’s no replacement for shot placement. I also like to be as close as possible. [/QUOTE]
