^^^^ If an arrow through the lungs/heart is good enough for deer and bear; why wouldn't the same loads
for deer be just as good for bear? It's not like they are charging grizzlies!

ive killed my fair share of bears. I know a 5/8 rifled slug kills bears and my 28" carbon express arrows with 100gr montec works too(Maine bear). However muzzeloader hunters may want to use something with a bit more punch. I use a 250gr bullet with 100grns of powder out of my muzzeloader and sometimes I don't get pass throughs if I hit the shoulders.. Wouldn't you want a heavier bullet for more damage?? Hence the reason I'm interested in what others have done and experienced.

You don't want pass throughs with a bullet.
