for bears remember you want penetration not expansion. not sure what a JHP would do. if either go with a Lehigh extreme penetrate if they make it 10mm or underwood 200/220 hardcast lead.

I always hiked with electroplated TMJ handloads. The "jacket" is so thin it performs a lot like a softnose or solid, but it's cleaner.

true but the lead is much softer then a hardcast lead bullet. you won't get much penetration on a bear. that side 99% of wildlife would be fine

I'm not sure that's true but I'd like to see a test or a source. I've recovered a lot of the 200 gr TMJ bullets and they never come apart, they just squish out a bit, more or less depending on what the backstop was. Even in a wooden block they just mushroomed a bit.
