>>329476 Yep, solid shot works if you get 'em in the head. I have a .35 carbine with 2000 fps muzzle velocity, but you still would have to shoot the bear in the head. Lewis & Clark wrote about this. Bear-hunting with muzzle-loaders was EXTREMELY risky, and they had a hell of a lot of respect for Indians who did it with arrows n' spears n' so on.
This is just a technical note about how to protect yourself if worst comes to worst. I do carry a gun in bear country, but it's their home and I'm the intruder. So I make lots of noise and I want them to live...almost as much as I want to live. I would be very sorry indeed to have to kill a bear, they're good people.
