[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1671536, member: 75933"] I would have to say that hornady is covering them selves here. While teh ELD-X may do the job, I certainly would not try it on a brown bear. Lots of bullets kill lots of things, natives kill polar bears with 243's. When the hunt of a lifetime is on the line with a $30k+ price tag, why chance it with a bullet not designed for the task at hand? Load up some heavy coppers with a proven track record of deep penetration and minimal fragmentation, and go kill a bear. And while on that, I also wouldn't trust an SST on a bear either. I've had those come unglued on White tails, so they'd stay on the shelf for sure. [/QUOTE]
