Maybe i'm wrong in my thinking, but a VLD, that is designed to penetrate 2-3", even through bone, and then loose all hell upon the forth coming vitals in front of it, might just put a grizzly down pretty quick. If I got a grizzly hell bent on making me it's next example of intolerance, I'd want to stop it's intent PDQ.
After talking to Sitka Deer, of Anchorage, 5+ years back before I headed North of Nome for my grizzly hunt, he convinced me that a grizzly is pretty lightly boned. He's been in on numerous kills and told me how he skinned out a Brownie's scapula and that is was nearly paper thin to a point he could see the shadow of his hand through it when held up to light.
