Smith & Wesson .500 with .700 grain bullets hand loaded. If you have to shoot it it’s like a hand grenade going off in your hand!

That's definitely not a plinker!

I DO NOT target practice with those rounds, they hurt too much! If I’m charged the plan is center of mass. I have a buddy who was charged by a brown bear about a year and a half ago up here, he only had a .40 with him. He was backing up and just shooting through the tunnel which was all he was able to see you on the beer as it got closer… As he was backing up trying to keep distance between him he tripped and went to the ground. If you shoot a bear in Alaska because it’s charging you and you don’t have a bear tag or it is not bear season you have to prove that the bear was charging you. Not a big problem for my buddy, when he went to the ground he kept shooting and ended up shooting off his big toe!
