[QUOTE="Coldfinger, post: 1886747, member: 113278"] Well my opinion don’t mean much but after having the opportunity to stop a hell bent 350 pound black bear at a distance of the scope is full of black and follow up shots were over the top of the scope at 5 yards all with a 300 Weatherby mag! Total of 3 shots all point blank range. First shot took out front teeth tongue jaw and put a baseball size hole out the back of the neck (yes it fractured a B&C scull as well taxidermist said it was unmeasurable due to shock basically destroying the scull plates). Second shot dead center in brisket as she was standing up on her rear legs.but totally incapacitated. Third shot as she was dragging herself broadside (probably just my adrenaline but she was still moving). The kicker of it is that she wasn’t charging at all I was tracking her through one of our famous Southern NY dogwood swamps and another hunter must spooked her and she used the same tracks I was crawling in as an escape route!!!! A handgun I’d carry any revolver from .44 mag to .500S&W with hard cast flat point bullets. I wouldn’t want to stop anything charging with a handgun but it’s better than a slingshot!!!! [/QUOTE]
