[QUOTE="memtb, post: 3033961, member: 75451"] Only one bear….a smallish black! The 44 Mag with 265 grain cast was more than enough. But…..it was a small bear, it was clueless as to my presence (I’m a stealthy son of a gun😜), and I was under only minimal stress! That said, I still think a large bore cartridge (preferably a 45 LC, .454, 460, or larger) with wide metplat bullets of at least 360 grains, at at least 1100 mv…..is far superior to smaller handgun cartridges/calibers! Capacity be “darned”! 😉 memtb [/QUOTE]
