Bear aware

And of course this all assumes one can shoot a gun acutely while an enraged boar the size of house is bearing down on you from less than a hundred feet away at that point good luck and Godspeed regardless !

Steel does NOT penetrate nor carry it's velocity nearly as well as lead.
That is the reason waterfowlers up their shot size for ducks & geese when they have to use mandated steel shot.

I have used 000 lead shot (.360 diameter), Foster slugs and Brenneke slugs on bears.
The shot did not penetrate well at all. Stopped upon meeting bone at close range. Pass.
The Foster's penetrated better, but not nearly enough for my liking.
The Brenneke's penetrated the best - often a pass through.

Try the test out noted by Brutus above.
He may be somewhat off target when it comes to voltage in salt water, but in this case he is bang on.

Shoot and repeat as fast you can, I’ve shot black bears( smaller)with my 30-06 at like 50ft, bullet left a hole 4” on the exit , that dam thing ran like 100yards in thick brush before he dropped, never shot at a grizz in my life , but if I ever have too he will eat as many I can cycle before he gets to me

Well I can report the bear spray worked lol and it is 2 1/4 on the lower jaw and 3 1/4 on upper between the holes
Maybe I’ll stop playing in his living room
Make a real nice rug this fall if I was inclined to like that sort of thing as it is in beautiful shape all shiny and healthy wish I had pictures
