I have never shot a bear. That said, I have taken alot of deer with a .44 mag. useing the 240 gr. Sierra bullet. The only one I ever recovered was from a nice 10 point buck hit in the left hind quater at 130 yrds. ( apx.). The bullet was a bump under the skin of the right frount shoulder. All other bullets were total penatration.
