Loading 380 and 410gr WFN and LFN GCs and just not sure which to carry for that unlikely big bear sidearm defense encounter.

Suggestions welcome.


If I’m betting my life on a bullet, I would run the LeHighs. They have a big meplat and they’ll bust through bone and continue a straight path. You can run them faster than that and they’re not uncomfortable.
