Home Forums Reloading Handgun Reloading 357 Magnum - Reccomend a black bear defense load

Castnblast,
Not surprising that the expanding bullet from the 357 mag put a quick end to the aggressive black bear.

I choose the 180 swift over hard cast. It's a deep penetrating bullet that hangs very close to the penetration of the buffalo bore 180 grain hard cast.

The buffalo bore stuff leaves the brass stuck in my little five shooter. No thanks to that madness.
