[QUOTE="lee e. jurras, post: 11886, member: 2730"] Done a fair amount of hunting with 44 Mag, 44 AM and 45 Colt. Some in excess of 100 yds. But Brown Bear over 100 yds is a bit foolish for my way of thinking. Even the 454 at 200 ?...Not saying you can't hit the target but what about a slightly misplaced shot at 200 with a 454 ?. Oh well to each his own. I've taken over 350 head big game with a handgun, even Alaskan Moose with a 357 AM. But those were head shots at 50 yds. Passed up numerous Brown Bear with a handgun until I got what I felt was a comfortable shot with which I had the edge, it was not because I didn't think I couldn't hit one at 200 yds. I just didn't relish the thought of having to go into the bush with a Bear wounded by a slightly misplaced shot. Now if you have taken Brown or Grizz with ANT type firearm you know what I'm talking about. Hunting dangerous game with a handgun is for the select few, and most of them know it is a parlor trick....FWIW, Lee E. Jurras [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
