[QUOTE="HarryN, post: 997964, member: 69773"] Thanks for the info. My 270 is sort of going through a re-set as I figure out how to switch entirely to lead free. I don't want to bother with working up lead / lead free variations of everything so for now I am treating it like a very healthy .243. The interest in .416 is that I figured that if I am forced to move up in caliber anyway, might as well make a real jump instead of 1/4 and 1/2 steps. That will give me a 100ish grain rifle and a 350ish grain rifle. I held a S/W 460 VR (I think 10 inch barrel) at the store then other day. It is quite a handful and didn't really seem like it could be drawn very quickly but did seem easy to point. It almost seems like a lever action or carbine rifle would be handier to carry than these larger revolvers - still thinking about it. The XP-100R I used with a center grip was pretty handy, but that particular one was in a much smaller caliber as well. Do you think that there is a real chance (timing wise) to get off more than 2 rounds from a revolver in a bear defense situation? I am not exactly Jerry Miculek. [/QUOTE]
