I'm trying to decide on the best type of ammo for woods carry in Southeastern NY State (Hudson Valley and Catskills). I'm considering carrying either 357 sig, 45 ACP +P (Sig 239 or 220) or possibly 10mm (Glock 29). My question isn't so much about which caliber as it is which type of bullet. I know that FMJ or hard cast is best for defense against animals /black bears in particular. But in my area, bear encounters are pretty unlikely although not impossible. More of a concern would be other animals as well as 2 legged predators. So I'm wondering if perhaps Corbon DPX is a good compromise since it is a hollow point but has significantly more penetration than a regular JHP. Or should I just be using FMJ/hard cast in the woods? Note that we are not talking about grizzly's here.
Thanks
