[QUOTE="BAKPAKR, post: 2844584, member: 114021"] I was blowing a predator call, trying to entice another bear to get closer, when this 6’ Idaho bear came in. He was running straight at me, expecting a meal, when I shot him at lawn dart throwing range. The first shot turned him and I finished him with a couple more before he got out of view. This was with JSPs or JHPs. Perhaps a hard cast bullet would have taken him down with one shot. Today, if I were to choose one bullet for everything, I would go with Swift A-Frames, as was suggested by [USER=313]@Varmint Hunter[/USER]. I don’t have any experience with it out of a revolver but I was sure impressed with its performance out of a muzzleloader on a bull elk. I do load Swift A-Frames in my 460 S&W but I have not shot anything with that revolver yet. [ATTACH type="full"]471878[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
