Oh no, I had no idea that Andy Runyon had passed. That's so sad as he seemed like a character and a really nice bloke. Very sad and I hope he went on his terms..

I had a feeling that shotgun slugs would be pretty ordinary. A lot of people I know go on and on about them and how great they are, but in my mind, a hunk of soft lead shot out of an un-rifled barrel doesn't sound like the best choice to me for big dangerous game.
What about big buckshot? Some people rely on it as bear defence. What would be your opinion on it as bear defence?

Is there anything the ol' .303 can't do? I thought that it'd make a pretty fair bear rifle and after talking to you it's confirmed! After all, it been killing the hell outa pigs, deer and buffalo down here for decades, so why not bear too!
And those glorious Lee Speed's... a more elegant rifle I have yet to see..

Once again thanks for your time. It really is appreciated.

Russ.


You'll probably never NEED a gun. In fact I hope you never do. BUT IF you do, you will probably need it worse than anything you've ever needed before in your life...
