[QUOTE="Decap, post: 2538542, member: 118394"] Problem is they were asking the wrong question. The question is not can a 9 millimeter kill a grizzly because it can. A .22 might be able to kill a grizzly if you put it through its eye into its brain pan. The real question is what round can kill a grizzly before the grizzly can kill you. There are also a lot of X factors to the question. Are we talking about in the spring when they're skinny, or in the summer and fall when they've built up a good layer of fat. I've known taxidermists that have told me that they've mounted bears that had half a dozen old 44's in their belly before they were finally killed with a rifle. To get back to the original question, if you want an auto 10 mm or 460 Rowland with hard cast. I wouldn't even consider .45ACP for what you're asking. Truth be told, a revolver like a 460 S&W is even better. [/QUOTE]
