I realize this is a bit off topis so please forgive me, but not living in bear country I don't a whole lot about the needs of a cartridge to take one down.

however, I've been under the impression that penetration is of paramount importance in comparison to anything else.

In that case, why aren't rounds like 7.62x25 and other slightly obscure but great penetrators looked at more often?
