[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2045695, member: 4191"] I'll cite another real life brown bear charge-to-the-death attack where a 10mm would most certainly have resulted in failure, and death. Fortunately, the guy stopped the boar with a 454 Casull, loaded with 360gr hard cast lead bullets. Google search "Greg Brush bear attack". Happened in 2008, about 5 miles from my residence. Greg never had time to get the revolver to chest level. As soon as it cleared his waist holster, he started shooting (both hands on the revolver) from the hip, as the starving adult boar beared down on him from close range. I know more than most on the details, other than Greg's close contacts, as Greg stopped in my brother's gun shop and shared his story. He admits there was plenty of good fortune in stopping the boar, other than the fact he was equipped with sufficient power and penetration to break the spine, on his frontal shot. Deep penetration required to reach the spine, and then sever the spinal cord. For the member that disliked lengthy posts, don't bother with the Greg Brush articles. They'll be much longer than my posts. Here I am, one individual, and able to cite two incidents where 10mm semi-auto use would almost certainly have resulted in dead mauling victims, compared to substantially more potent loads from a revolver. Very little conjecture here. Both within 20 miles of my residence, in an area that was infested with brown bears for 20yrs. But whadda I know...? This is why I always add, wish you well with the 10mm. Because there's a lotta wishful thinking going on there. [/QUOTE]
