bb5 is on the money ref blackies in n carolina - gothunts.com/north-carolina-record-black-bear-confirmed/i used to spend a good deal of time on the at when i was a kid in college and saw more black bears than i cared to, back then i toted a 4 1/2" blackhawk in 45colt (although for the sheldon cooper types, nowdays it's called 4.62") . no "close calls" which is fine by me. these days the appalachian trail groups - conservancy and parks folks are loathe to mention black bear "encounters" needless to say when walking with the grandkids on the trail these days, i feel comfortable with my little s&w 69 on my hip - and yes, i practice draw/point/shoot at my indoor range - while the wife holds the button down on the target coming at me from 15 yards...

a dinner of slow-simmered pinto beans with ham and "side meat," accompanied by real iron skillet cornbread is best shared with pals and followed by a good cigar with a snifter of brandy..
i can almost see how my weekend is going to develop..

"will a 500 JRH with a 400 grain monolithic solid (aka Cutting Edge or Lehigh flatness copper bullet) at approx 1400-1450 fps be able to penetrate enough for frontal as opposed to side head shots on elephant?"
..until it's actually been done - everything is pure speculation.
when you get back from your safari, you will be the sme (subject matter expert) and can at that time tell us definitively yes or no.
be sure to take pictures!

.. you might review the sights jerry miculek uses - he has commented before on eyesight/revolver sights, jerry isn't a young man by any measure but with age, often comes wisdom..

there was one at green top hunt/fish last weekend.
saw it, admired it, very well done, at the very least better than my old jm gun.
and then i walked away with a stainless rossi 92 for $790 out the door, compared to the four digit price on the marlin - before tax..
with the wife there, saving a few bucks pays dividends in the long run...
we'll see....
