The big, heavy bullets of the 500 will out penetrate the slug in a real bear
Out penetrate? I bet all of 'em will go right through any bears vitals. So which shoots through more is moot. They will all go well past the vitals of any bear.

In Alaska the Wildlife commission recommends 12 gauge with slugs for bear medicine and the 12 is very popular up there for that use.

Now you can talk about handiness, but effectiveness well no.
