[QUOTE="HarryN, post: 997833, member: 69773"] At this point, it will be 99% paper punching and 1 % carry as a backup as a "just in case there is a bear and the rifle is not with me". I watched a youtube video of an Alaska coastal brown take 5 hits x 375HH from 3 experienced hunters before it went down and that is pretty eye opening. I haven't been to Alaska, but it is on my list of things to do. Depending on what I read, there is still of course the whole "penetration with high sectional density" vs. "big, wide, and not too fast" is better discussion. I am not qualified to add to this discussion but it is interesting. As a practical matter, I usually just use my plain jane 270 win 700 ADL for everything and a 357 revolver will do anything I need right now. I am in the mood for a bigger bore rifle setup and "something" in .416 Weatherby is on the list, so it seems like a bigger bore pistol should go hand in hand. The logic sort of works if you don't think about it too hard. :) [/QUOTE]
