What I've been thinking.
Assuming hard vast is the projectile, how much is gained by .029"?
The bigger hole might cut something the smaller misses, but now we
are depending on .0145.

All dependent on profile.

One more round that might be fired is gonna cut a .400 hole.

All theory full of what iffs

Same as these arguments.

Write a script. I get,

Time, no contact?
G20

Rolling around in the dirt being chewed on, keep my gun?
Got time? 8 round 357.
Only a couple shots, DA 44.

One shot only? 500 S&W

Using an example to argue as any one gun being clearly superior either
shows bias or ignorance.

Be interesting to ask Phill what his thoughts might be if he ran it through his head in an after action report style.

His encounter supports enough power, good bullet in the right place(s)

The 44 guys would argue a bigger gun would have done it quicker.

The 10mm guys will argue he needed more ammo to use.

Ain't a 100% answer.

Size, weight, ease of carry, reliability in an uncontrolled situation,
shootability......make your choice. Spin the wheel.
Hope it never even comes up, FŰCK BEAR!!!
