[QUOTE="Ua26fitter, post: 2750124, member: 99506"] No need to spend all the time to slugging and messing with lead. I shoot the 250 shock hammer. It performs better than hard lead because well it's copper. Petals separate so no big round nose that needs weight to keep pushing it for penatration. No need to go so heavy and deal with recoil. You're shooting short range so all that weight with a big heavy cast does nothing for you. I get 2600 fps with AA1680 from my Marlin Cowboy with 26" barrel. Bears are thin skinned and are not typically hard to kill. A 45-70 with most bullets at close range is plenty gun for any black bear. Kris [/QUOTE]
