He and his guide were hunkered down in a cabin for the night when a grizzly decided that he wanted to join them by the fire. He grabbed his .44 Mag and dumped all six rounds into the bear; likewise, the guide grabbed his .458 WinMag, dissuading the bear from having a snack by the fire.After the bear retreated, they tracked it and recovered the body. When they dressed it out, they discovered that the author's six shots were all hits, and all of his bullets had flattened out in the fat layer of the bear's chest, with none of them having penetrated the muscle. Fortunately, the guide's rifle had done a bit better, and they lived to tell the tale.</blockquote>
