Is this the article where he indicated a 22 Magnum with FMJ's was suitable as it penetrated well?

He seemed to feel that only CNS hits were going to matter.

IIRC he indicated he carried a 357 with Norma steel jacketed 180's for several years.

Apparently he got a Mountain gun when his daughter needed something to carry.

I can't get too excited about carrying a pistol I can't manage to shoot double action with my weak side hand. That 3229 PD would work but a 250 grainer at 1000-1100 is all I think I could manage and maybe not that.

I carry my 357 Titanium Tracker loaded with 180's right at 1100 fps. I believe that is enough for most uses. When I feel that's not enough I will carry a Deerslayer with Brenneke's or a centerfire rifle.

I have a 45 Colt Bisley that I could use too I suppose. I like 250/270's at 100 out of that a lot better than 300's at 1300 too.
