I've got no experience hunting bear, but understand that due to the massive nature of their bone structure, a headshot with an expanding projo will generally be ineffective, since it will most likely not penetrate the skull and will irritate the bear. I've seen lead buckshot conform to but not penetrate a deer's skull, which is much thinner than a bear's skull. An icepick through the brainpan is better than a deformed bullet that doesn't penetrate the skull. See what I mean?
Anybody got a legally possessed bear skull we can test this theory out on?
