[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 2562513, member: 105"] The 45ACP is a very poor choice for large game hunting much less for a charging bear! LOL The 10mm is a way better choice but still horribly too weak. For a charging brown bear you really need a big bore magnum rifle like a 300WM, 338WM, 375H&H or a 458WM. You'll likely only get one accurate shot anyway because a brown bear or any bear for that matter can run 35mph and a shot with ANYTHING if not well placed will just **** off a brown bear and greatly decrease your chances of living through the encounter. You can shoot one through the heart and he or she will likely live another 30 seconds to a minute and if you think you can survive even 15 seconds of a brown bear's fury you're delusional. [/QUOTE]
