Phil Shoemaker killed a 900 pound bear that charged him and his clients with hardcast from a 9mm. Why would one need to spend more?

Hardcast are about all I carry for bear. Its the moose you need to worry about though generally. I dont' feel I have an issue the days I carry a smaller 9 instead of my Glock 20 either. For charging stuff it has to have the power / penetration to break the spine or skull. Then you have to hit that. Simple as that.

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
