[QUOTE="LeftyWilbury, post: 948407, member: 72893"] Barnes TSX are pretty stout, and being designed for rapid expansion, shouldn't have a problem with penciling through. I'd be wary of a shoulder shot though. Those shoulders bones are strong. Just personal experience of losing my first bear. 30-06 at 50 yards. Rolled the bear completely over...but then he got up and ran a few miles. Learned two things, use premium bullets, and don't shoot the shoulder. A 300 win mag and TSX bullets should be more than up to any shot, but I'd still choose a heart/lung shot if it presented itself. Here's a sweet [URL="http://www.ballistics101.com/images/bear_images/bearshotplacement.pdf"]anatomy guide[/URL], tailored for archery, but it's always fun to study anatomy. Happy hunting! Looking forward to heading out in the fall for bear myself. [/QUOTE]
