[QUOTE="Locknload, post: 1595980, member: 20333"] Everything is relative to your experiance and personal choice. I happen to carry a 357 model 66 with 162gr RCBS water dropped hard cast over 16grs of H-110, in a cross draw Anderson rig. But I have shot pins, plates, world speed, 3 gun and IPSC with autos and revolvers and SA revolvers in IHMSA in state and regional competition for decades. Given a choice I will always use the rifle on dangerous critters, but in a push I will use the fast handling handgun with manageable recoil for DA shooting, if I need it. I have tried the DW 445 Super Mag with 240s and 300s and it is to heavy and the recoil prevents a quick follow up. I have shot hogs on the ground with a 357 Blackhawk OM, 44 Blackhawk OM and a 30-30 Merrill 10” single shot. The Single shot was a 300 lb boar on the charge at 25 ft, one shot slightly to the left, between the eyes with a 170 Speer flat point. The bullet was in the right ham, traveled down the spine in the neck and through the innards. We do not have big bears here bouts but you can run up on a 600 pound plus porker without trying real hard. I prefer an AR if out with or around hogs. I have two 358 MGP AR-15 guns I built, that are similar to a 358 Win in performance. They will do right at 2,400 fps with a powder coated RCBS 200. They will anchor a hog or bear with the 200gr and with a 16 inch barrel they are real handy. Ed [/QUOTE]
