[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1887328, member: 9308"] Hey [B][USER=80010]josip89[/USER][/B] Shy of a grizzly bear (brown bear), the 10mm Auto will take care of any of your animal attack issues with ease. For most smaller animals (coyotes, wolves, wild dogs, panthers, etc.), the normal hollowpoint ("defensive") ammunition will work fine, such as the 155 grain Hornady XTP, or similar round. If you have chances of black bear encounters, you would be better served shooting hard-cast flat nosed 200 grain bullets through the gun as you want penetration AND a big, flat frontal surface to cause shock and damage to tissue and bones along the way. (The full-metal jacketed bullets aren't nearly as good in creating tissue damage, so they should be avoided.) In this case a Buffalo Bore 200 grain lead hard-cast flat nose round would be better. If you have to chose only one, go with the 200 grain hard-cast flat nose round. [ATTACH type="full"]189965[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]189966[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
