I for some reason always get handloader later than everybody else.
I am surprised nobody has commented on his son killing that bear with the .45 colt and the rcbs 270grain keith bullet. All rounds penetrated completely through the bear, with better performance than a factory 44magnum round. And tight groups too.
I have been running the same load at the same velocity although not a writer, and then work mighty fine.
I can think of several threads on here stating jacketed hollow points were the way to go, here comments locally on .45 being a tired ol caliber, and so on.
I have got to fire that combination in a marlin lever with the long tube.
