[QUOTE="thomasbangs, post: 2840987, member: 49922"] After having a close encounter with a black bear sow with cubs at dark while coming back to his truck after bow hunting one of my sons decided to start packing his Glock 40 S&W which is legal where we live. I loaded up some Nosler 170 gr. HP. Not sure if they still make the 170 gr. but they still make a 180 gr. HP. Anyway he tested it out over a bait on a bigger than average size black bear. He double tapped the bear behind the shoulder and the bear collapsed on the spot, both bullets were recovered just under the hide on the opposite side, classic perfect mushrooms, after cleaning the bullets they both weighed 169 grs. each. Since all the bullets from that box of 170's were loaded, I don't know if they weighed 170 grs. or not but that was as close to 100% weight retention as you can get. I load all pistol and rifles on my old Lyman turret press and I do one operation at a time, except 45 acp, I have a Dillon Square Deal set up for 45 acp. [/QUOTE]
