[QUOTE="meatyrem, post: 2484202, member: 26633"] Seriously I think you’ll just p$$$ him off with buckshot. Old foster style slugs flatten out like pancakes. I grew up with shotgun slugs and if they flatten out on deer and don’t always penetrate through on deer they definitely won’t with a bear esp a big one. My thoughts: If you’re wanting great penetration and something to hold together go with a bonded slug (accutips, partition, dual bond, of that type) or even better go with full 1oz Barnes slugs. They shouldn’t break apart and penetrate well. All I see with a lead foster style is flattening out and not making it past the shoulder of a big bear. [/QUOTE]
