Definitly will work with good shot placment to the correct area of the head. Wouldn't want to try but if i had to i'd use CCI Mini Mags. Little suckers pack a pretty good punch!

What a waste of good ammo, or is it a good waste of shitty ammo?

.22LR is responsible for more deaths by gunshot than any other caliber, it was favored by the Mafia for many years. As to a shooting a bear, it is all about shot placement, I suspect that a lucky shot through the "right" spot would do it. Back in the 70's I lived on my uncles farm and they used a .22 LR to put down cows for butch every year.

That's because a .22 goes into the skull and then bounces around. Does more damage than straight through.

Yup... But to penetrate the skull it needs to be a fairly straight on shot, it you hit at an angle there's a high likelihood the bullet will glance off.... Trying to kill a bear is more of a problem cause the skull is so thick even a straight on shot rarely penetrates... You need to hit a weak spot like an eye socket, ear, nose or mouth...
