[QUOTE="akmtnhnt, post: 3047355, member: 120824"] I got to see a bear soak 5 rounds from a 44mag rifle last year and not give a crap. A 308 to the head was what dropped it. Cutting it open all 5 44 rounds were lethal. In the vitals. If it was a dlp scenario where the bear was charging it would have gotten someone. What I came away from that with was the horsepower of the round doesn't matter all that much. What you need in a defense sceario is a cns hit. And only a cns hit. heart and lungs takes way too long to kill them. As long as what you're shooting can penetrate to get through the skull or through mass to the spine it's enough. So as with all shooting, shot placement is the most important thing, by a mile. When I think about how that defensive situation might go down I decided I want 15 and not 6 because placement is going to be pure luck most likely. Might as well have 15 dice to roll. I switched from my 329 to a g20. Shooting extreme defense. Honestly I'd rather see someone shoot a 9mm with penetrators and as many as they can carry than a 454 cannon with 5. [/QUOTE]
