I run 300gr Unicores at ~1200 in my 2.5" Taurus tracker, I'll admit it's about all I want to hold on to. That load would probably clock ~1300 in a 6" or 8" barrel. The tracker is just a handy piece to carry compared to larger frames like my 629 so it gets used the most.

I hope I never have to test it to see if it's enough gun. Our grizzly density is not nearly as high as some of the places in AK, but enough to keep you on guard in lots of places. My caliber of choice would probably change if I hung out around some of your big coastal bears.
