What's the best commercial ammo for my Marlin 336 as purely a self-defense measure against cougars and black bear? This will be while hiking up in the Central Sierras. (This past weekend while doing some bushwhacking, I saw fresh sign for both.) The easy choices are what I have in my cabinet for a .30-30, which is either the Remington Core-Lokt SP in 170gn or the Hornady Leverevolution in 160gn. Are there others that come to mind? The range would definitely be under 50 yards, as I'd first try to avoid any interaction at all.
