I pushed a 250 Grain hard cast lead round nose through a 3/8 steel plate, using unique powder.

I heard on the local radio that this hunter was carrying a 30-06. Unless you hit a bear with a brain shot, nothing will kill them instantly. Very little will slow them down.

As recounted in the journals of the Lewis and Clark expedition, the Corps of Discovery put 9 .50cal musket balls through a grizzly's lungs and didn't slow him down at all. The 10th round was a brain shot that finally stopped him.
