[QUOTE="KyCarl, post: 1484113, member: 101387"] After thinking about it a 12 gauge shotgun is too small! I want a BIG double rifle like the one Ian Carter carries. I saw him shoot a big elephant coming on the run in the forehead and knock it on it's butt! So it has at least 5 or 6 times more mass than a bear? It should knock a bear flat. How many tons of energy does a rifle like that make? [B].500 Nitro Express[/B] 570 gr (37 g) FMJ/SP 2,150 ft/s (660 m/s) 5,850 ft⋅lbf (7,930 J) In North America cartridges such as the .500 Nitro Express see little use as no North American game species requires the cartridges in the same class as the .500 Nitro Express. Nevertheless, there can be no doubt that the cartridge would be a very effective stopper against a charge by one of the large bears or bison should it be carried in the field. [/QUOTE]
