[QUOTE="MZmoose, post: 1671332, member: 41085"] I think I would go with an actual controlled expansion bullet for Brownies. Eldx and Berger's will do fine at the longer ranges but I wouldn't bet my life on a cup and core bullet at bad breath ranges in the pucker brush with a Brownie. I've had a black bear soak up some partitions at close range when I got too close. But they broke his shoulders and I was glad to have them. I've had limited penetration with the Eldx on deer so i personally wouldn't use em on anything bigger than deer. They are very accurate but you can't guarantee a bear is going to step out in he open and give the broadside shot. I like tough bullets in an appropriate caliber so I can take any reasonable angle shot. I agree Hornady's charts are stupid. [/QUOTE]
