Came around a corner on an old POW logging road and ran into a large bears first dump of the year!!! Looked at my little 308 and then back at that giant pile of crap and thought holy hell I'm under gunned!!! It was quite impressive and a bit intimidating!!! I be t the bear was quite "relieved"! Don't forget a wolf tag if it's open while you're there.
That 180gr Buffalo Bore looks like serious medicine for the .357! 780 ft. lbs. But there is no replacement for displacement. If I was hunting with a pistol I'd be packing my Redhawk loaded with hard cast. As for packing a pistol while hunting with a rifle on POW, no. If I was going along as a packer for someone and I didn't want to tote a rifle or to just have camp protection I'd be OK with the 357. But with the opportunity to snipe a wolf while bear hunting I'd rather pack a rifle.
