Dear Tim -
Thanks for the ammo! As I mentioned to you during our phone conversation my wife and I have just returned from a bear hunt in August. I want to share my success with you and to let you know how well your Buffalo Bore ammunition works.

I shot this Black Bear at 60 yards with the 300 gr. .444 Marlin load (Item #9B). The bullet broke both shoulders and exited.  The bear dropped instantly and attempted to get back up.  Even though it was not needed I placed a second shot in the shoulder area for insurance.

The bear weighed 350 pounds and should square 6 1/2 feet. I used Item 9B - the 300 gr. Flat-Nose Penetrator; .444 Marlin lever action 22" barrel.

As you can see the photos did not turn out very well.  I'm also sorry about all the blood in the the broadside photo.  However for you the blood is a great advertisement showing what your bullets do.

Sincerely
Kenny Bode
