[The other bear turned out to be a seriously ill animal whose behavior became unpredictable. She came for me and there was no doubt that had she reached me she would have raised pure hell with my aging body. I used a Ruger Blackhawk 44 magnum and stopped her with one shot to the chest at about 7-10 yards. IMHO there is no way that I could have stopped her with anything less. I do not think that a 357 magnum will give you a chance at a one shot stop the way the 240 grain 44 mag. did.

dairycreek you should go on a forum post tour man.
You are the first poster in thousands of these I've read where the poster had actually had to shoot a bear.
I guess that says something right there.
Nematocyst what ever caliber one uses for lightning I think they should stay away from copper jacketed ammo.
