[QUOTE="badthirtyone, post: 2414015, member: 9573"] I'm thinking that this was primarily designed for carbine/long gun use? My question is directed more toward the personal protection aspect of this bullet. I tend to hunt deer and elk in areas of the Rocky Mountains that are known for big cats - 200+ pound cats, on average. I can tell you that it is an eerie feeling when you know that you are sharing your hunting grounds with a big tom that could end you quickly. I have pushed deep into some snowy, off-the-grid terrain early in the pre-dawn hours then came back that way later in the afternoon to find large mountain lion tracks paralleling and crossing my own. What complicates this further is that my sons and I regularly take other youth hunters and hikers through this same terrain at different times of the year. I used to carry a .357 mag when I solo hunted and backpacked. Now that children are involved (far more of a prime target for cat attacks), I transitioned to a .44 Mag a decade or so ago. What are your thoughts and expectations out of a 4" defense/protection gun with these bullets? Mainly against sizeable Rocky Mtn Cats? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
