[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 65181, member: 3776"] Actually ,I did get a CHUCKLE out of the Kodiak site adjustment I know that many people have used 240 grain bullets in in 44 mag succesfully on black bear but I would use a 300 grain or larger LBT style flat point of the LFN or WLFN style hardcast and if you do not cast your own Cast Performance bullets sell very good ones. I have not gotten good accuracy from the WFN style and since the wound channel is quite impressive with the LFN and WLFN style I didnot look any farther. Most black bears arenot very big [300lbs. and under most under] but occasionaly larger ones are encountered, Thus the need for more penetration and if you might need to take a shot from a less than perfect angle the 300grain and up will offer more than enough penetration.I didnot include jackted bullets as most arenot able to penetrate as well as the hardcast. remember with a revolver bullet integrity is vital in order to achieve adaquate penetration that is why I recomended Cast Performance as I have used their bullets with great sucess.
