[QUOTE="3sixbits, post: 65361, member: 3661"] What a crock of crap! Just ask BearSh-t Treadwell and his girl friend about only one person ever being killed by a bear. What, you say you can't? They arent around anymore to ask? I can not remember a year going by in the last thrity plus that we don't read or hear on the news of a bear attack resulting in death or a mauling in this state! You fellows are right about HARD Cast pistol bullets, I'll take them any day over jacketed in a pistol! By the by I was talking to a fellow this A.M. that used the Barnes X on his polar bear in Canada .300x378 WBY 180 grain,and only deformed the nose on the bullet shot into the shoulder. Seems I not the only one who has seen the failure of these bullets first hand, He will be loading the 180 grain Woodliegh's to try when I give him a box to try for his Russia trip this spring. The last two years the largest Brown bear in this state where taken with a load of 76 grains of 4350, 300 grain Woodliegh's in Winchester brass.
