[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2574945, member: 313"] I've shot a pile of black bears and normally use the Marlin 45-70 that is pictured in my avatar. My rifle shoots many different bullets under an inch at 100yds. But for soft sided black bears I like the Speer 400 SPFN the best. It's fairly soft and readily expands making a rather large hole in game animals. So far, I haven't caught one in a bear yet. All have exited. I caught one in a big boar hog after it penetrated both shields and got caught in the skin on the off-side. The fat ol slug expanded to 90 caliber and remained completely intact. I shoot the 400JSP at just over 1,700 ft/sec so the recoil is manageable. [/QUOTE]
