Tell us more buffybr. From the looks of the photo I'm guessing only FMJ RN was available back then. Where did you hit the bear? How many times?
That was back in 1973. I was taking the family fishing, and spotted that bear feeding in a small clearing not far from the road. I drove a couple hundred yards past the bear, then snuck back to within about 20 yards of him. One shot with a cast lead 220 grain SWC just behind his shoulder ended our fishing trip.
