[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2538593, member: 9299"] Lets keep the correct comparison, for the op referenced "black bears", mostly. However, I do admit standard soft lead 12ga deer slugs are not overly recommended on large, dangerous game, for they are too soft and do not penetrate well. There are varied slugs that are much more suited for deep penetration with less deformity, and if buck shot is to be used on the large bears, I recommend copper plated, hard [B]000[/B] buck and not 00. I know of far too many blackies that have been cleanly killed by 45's. [/QUOTE]
