You are carrying a 15 shot 40sw for grizzly protection.
You can chose between 155gr lswc @1350fps, 18bhn
OR
180gr rnfp @1050fps, 12bhn
Which would you choose and why?
Neither, I have a takedown 450, Marlin and a Norinco
12 ga( 3" mag) single shot.It might be 25" long .
Both fit into my army style ( deep) saddle bags or into a human pack when afoot.
I see Grizzlies frequently, even at my Ranch.
I had one encounter with a sidearm, a .44 mag...after that went back to the rifle and 12 ga.
The .44 might just make a bear really mad.
