[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1469076, member: 11960"] I shot the Cast Performance 440gr WFNGC bullet at 1600fps from my 10" BFR revolver. Never shot a bear with it but it would penetrate like a freight train through everything I shot with it so I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a bear with that bullet. My load was a max charge for a Ruger #1 but I wouldn't have shot it in a Marlin 1895. The BFRs are a lot stronger than one of the Marlin lever guns. You'd probably be better off working up different loads in each of the guns. [/QUOTE]
