[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1185200, member: 4191"] Which is why you're in no position to offer comment on their effectiveness. At least you included the most pertinent fact and qualifier on your advice; that you've never used a Brenneke slug in your life. Yes, Brenneke slugs kick. I informed the OP these slugs will kick, and to shoot the Brenneke slugs prior to use to verify recoil sensitivity. #4 Buckshot is a poor recommendation, unless you plan to be close enough that the pattern hasn't opened up. In that case, and at that close range, #4 lead birdshot will also remove the skull caps of the bears. AK Fish&Game has tested 00 buckshot on brown bear carcasses and demonstrated their inability to penetrate the skull. If you want to hunt bears, the .308 Winchester would be better at longer ranges than the Brenneke slugs. If you're only preparing to defend against bears at close range, use the Brenneke slugs. If you want to be mauled, use a firearm that doesn't kick. [/QUOTE]
