Hornady Flex Tipped Bullets and Penetration...
Who knows anything about how well these bullets penetrate and break bone??? I'm trying to decide whether or not they will be a reliable bear bullet for the 45-70 (325 Gr). Thanks!
I'd prefer it if they were an all copper bullet...I don't know how thick their jacket is and how well they hold together.?.?

I dropped a 400lb black bear with one shoulder shot three years ago. One more in the lungs as a finisher. Both shots were from about 35 yards. I know the lung shot went all the way through. I'm not sure about the shoulder shot, but the bear didn't go more than 6 feet after the first shot. I was pretty impressed.
This was a 200gr bullet in factory Hornady ammo. It was .35 Rem.0 -
"reliable bear bullet for the 45-70 (325 Gr). Thanks!"...........
it depends on the bear!.............400lb black bear=no problem, 1500lb grizz=get a real gun.
I have use the Hornady flex tip with very good results on 'medium sized' game. it is also a very accurate bullet0 -
From the ads/info I've seen, it looks like the flextip bullets are designed for 150-300# game. 0
