I think there was some mis understanding of my first response in that I was thinking and tried to say that...
there are occasions when the hunter is not given the opportunity to aim at the lungs. I didn't disagree with any of your post, cartridge-bullet.
I was simply emphasising the importance of 'a bullet strong enuff' to anchor a bear in BAD circumstances.
I'm familiar with a few circumstances where hunters were 'surprised' by toothy critters and some of the hunters did not survive the 'worst case scenario'.
OTOH

This quote was not aimed at THIS discussion at all.
I just noted that several cartridges "just as good as" the 270 W are not mentioned.
Separate subject and point.
I hope this clears any misunderstanding. Let's have fun.
