[QUOTE="436, post: 1864848, member: 16609"] You know, I carried a .44 Mag 290gr Hardcast lead Keith style in Idaho when I knew I was hunting in an area known for having Grizzly's in it for quite a long time while hunting Whitetail with my Win 94 also in .44 Mag, it just seemed like a good idea to carry a revolver. I was also pretty much aware if I didn't get off enough rounds and possibly didn't get a good headshot in there somewhere in a charge I and Mr. Bear were probably going to go meat to meat kinetic at some points. I think you really have got to get some (lead on the head) with them; for a close to a sure deal. So, I went to the G20SF Gen3 10mm with a hard-hitting load, I like the 180gr solids... pumped up, which by the way takes a new supported barrel and recoil spring which I did. I feel now after 6 rounds, if I get that far, I have 10 more to play with, plus the G20SF is more controllable in rapid-fire situations with the heavier spring. I've shot an S&W 29 since the early 1970s.
