Having abused and amused myself with some stout .44 loads in my Mountain gun those heavy 300grain loads are goin' shoot HIGH...like 10 inches at 25 yards. But that'll be a moot point as the bear will have your arm in it's mouth by the time you can pull the trigger.

The Handloader should be required reading for all people who venture out in bear country. AVOIDANCE is the only defense it seems. STAY SAFE !...dewey
