Naw. Teddy was shooting the prototype of the .32 Magnum Snookumfutz. Only REAL ballisticians have found this arcane info in one of TR's private letters to Elliot Spitzer.
And a .357 is NOT enough for the black bear I ran into on the Yuba river thirty years ago while backpacking. Six rounds put it on the ground, but the seventh, after reloading, with the muzzle almost in the ear, finally finished the job. This was a small bear, maybe 200 pounds, and looked like she was starving. Perhaps that would account for her abberant behavior.
