[QUOTE="Daves762, post: 1731196, member: 33751"] I hunt alone in southwest MT. Overnight spike camps several miles from any manmade trail. My minimum is a 44 magnum with 305 grain hard lead cast. Either HSM or Buffalo Bore. I feel under-gunned with that. Couple guys were mauled by an old griz, teeth wore down to dull nubs, carrying the same load/gun combo. Think they put seven rounds into the bear before the attack stopped. They were both bitten at some point during the event. There is no such thing as "too much gun" in a defense scenario. Semi auto pistols are for two legged defense, big heavy revolvers with big heavy bullets are for four legged defense. JMO. [/QUOTE]
