I shot a black bear over bait,10yards, with the brenneke slug. I decided on the brenneke because it does NOT expand. It has a large enough diameter that all I want is as much penetration as possible. With a bear that has lots of fat the important thing is what angle the shot is and how much body must be penetrated to hit the vitials. I also wanted a hole on both sides of the bear for LOTS of blood to leak out of.
