Sorry, but am I missing something here. The english language use to work so much better when we used sentences instead of two letter words. I have never shot a bear so you're saying 6 rounds of 3" slugs won't stop a bear? Muzzle velocity of 1760 ft/sec with a 1 oz slug, about 3000 ft lb of energy, more than a 308 but less than a 300 winmag.
