[QUOTE="Nevrsummr, post: 2505446, member: 112260"] 5.7 is a mean animal and was another good recommendation. I was picking up 50round packs of 22mag for 11.00 a couple years back. Now its 20. Still available. When i go to grizzly areas it depends on the hunt. If i am rifle hunting i dont pack a side arm. If bowhunting i typically pack a 10mm arguably light for griz. Ive skinned black bear hit with lots of 40 S&W. From 10 to 30 yards. As I peeled the skin back the copper fmj's were right there. Didnt even poke into the fat. 10mm is better, but not a huge amount better. I have a revolver that if i was really concerned i would probably pack that for griz. Back to the 22 mag. It will shoot clean through 4" trees. I do feel like penetration helps. Less likely to glance off a skull too. But to each their own [/QUOTE]
