[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2270069, member: 75451"] I respectfully disagree! Many years ago, I shot an adrenaline pumped raccoon, two times, both in a kill zone ( either shot would have killed) , using 160 grain bullet at absolute max. charges! The raccoon fell off of the limb and ran about 30 or so yards. From time of first shot, to the end of his run would have been more than sufficient time for a bear.....any bear, to make mince-meat of a human! That was my deer hunting handgun at the time.....it was immediately retired! Once moving up to a 44, well placed shots on much larger aninals made for “well dead” animals! Over baits, or treed by dogs.....the .357 may be quite adequate! But, it ain’t no stopping round! JMO. memtb [/QUOTE]
