.50 cal powerbelt steeltip elephant+buffalo
In the Summer 2007 issue of Blackpowder Guns + Hunting a guy dropped a bull elephant with a powerbelt steeltip 530gr out of a .50cal ML and his partner killed a cape buffalo with the same bullet from a .50 Kodiak Pro both with one shot each.I wouldn't worry about being undergunned shooting bears over bait with a .50cal or larger just use the correct bullet......Harold
