Having shot over 10 bears some at very close ranges.
For handguns I prefer the magnum revolvers loaded with WFN hard cast heaver for caliber bullets.
For long guns I prefer rifles over shotguns one still needs to aim them both. A heaver for caliber rifle bullet shot from a appropriate rifle caliber.
Well normally give one better peroration then the standard foster type slugs and for sure more then buckshot for sure.
Not that there are some shotgun slugs that well work just fine.
Each to their own choices one of the great things about living in most of America.
I bought the mossburg mariner and was sorely disappointed. Rough chamber makes it almost impossible to cycle and they won’t fix it under warranty without me sending g in the whole gun with a firearms dealer.
Cretins...
Not many bears out here in West Texas but we do have a ton of hog’s. When i guide spot and stalk hunts for my bow hunters I carry my old model 37 Ithaca Riot with 5 rounds of 3 inch 00 Buck. Big boars with an arrow sticking in them can get pretty nasty. The old Ithaca chills them right out. I’ve only had to use it a few times but it folded them up every time. With bears I might change ammo to slugs or a first round of 00 and then slugs. This one will slam fire so I can shoot it as fast as an auto.
I have come to realize there are two kinds of people in this world
Yes indeed!! There are those who know that animals are dangerous, and then there are those that think if they see a bear it may break into a dance routine and sing the “Bear necessities”!!
When Mr. GG2 lived in Alaska he carried a .454 Casul everywhere.
Six hundred grain slug.
