Phil I got no dog in this bullet debate (I just like twistin' Steelhead's fur through the fence), especially when it comes to bears. I watched an 8ft brownie standing on his hind legs (15yd away) take an 8mm core-loct in the sternum and still run 75yd. He had to be shot again to keep him from crawling into a creek. That ain't even a big brownie. That is the sum total of my brown bear experience, that and carrying that skull off the top of Hinchinbrook Island. I KNOW what Bergers do to deer but I'll be "loaded for bear" with TSX's if I ever make it back to AK.
