I was in Cody, WY in 2009, 3 days after a guy was attacked by a Griz sow, which he finally dropped with a 41 cal revolver.
The gun shops up there recommended 200gr. hardcast for my S&W 686 (7 shot .357)
It breaks bones and I can carry while fishing.
“...S&W 686 (7 shot .357)”
Wow, I’ve never seen one of those. Nice piece.
Here’s my 1975 Colt Trooper MKIII .357 Mag 6”...
