I watched one die from a single 10mm round. What ammo were you using?I killed a black bear with my 10mm and it took a mag dump to put him down.
I sincerely hope I never have to use it on a grizz, I still pack it for archery but would rather have an AK pistol for a charging bear!

That makes sense. My uncle shot a cow in the head several times with hollow points, and it didn't penetrate. One shot with one of my buffalo bore Hard Cast went clear through it. Bullet selection is way more important than caliber. My 2-cents.200 grain hp loads
I hit him 7 times out of 10 in the chest and face while he was charging my dog
Saw a bear skinned that had six 45 caliber HP slugs in it. They appeared to have been there for years. Don't carry hollow points.
I totally hear you but the thing is they didn't even expand.That makes sense. My uncle shot a cow in the head several times with hollow points, and it didn't penetrate. One shot with one of my buffalo bore Hard Cast went clear through it. Bullet selection is way more important than caliber. My 2-cents.
