[QUOTE="Small Lady, post: 2929705, member: 126670"] Thanks Cape and JJ, I to was out hunting, just got back yesterday. Wish I had not mentioned possibly needing it as bear defense, as that is the most unlikely scenario. I understand the concern, and thanks for being a good and kind person who does worry about others. But I believe a 243 will work, and is definitely an upgrade in stopping power from my 30-30. And grizzlies are all but non existent here. We just don't see any on the ranch. Blacks we have, and they normally just want to run and hide sensing a human nearby. Honestly, I would probably not take along anything some days, if not a job requirement. Also a 243 is pretty quick, so that 85 grain bullet is moving fast. A charging bear is going to be a head or chest shot, that 85 grain hollow point doing 3200 feet per second will hit hard. Thanks again guys, you are wonderful people! [/QUOTE]
