Bears can take quite a beating at times. But yeah, he has plenty of fire power and well placed shots is going to count pretty good.
I know this, you double lung a deer with a decent rifle and they run 40-100 yards, double lung a bear and he won't make it 20 feet, have saw probably over 50 shot, the 13 I have shot with the exception of 1 never moved, that one was head shot over dogs and missed the brain cavity.
