Yep, she used Longs--and shot the bear in the head with the rest of the rounds she had to make sure.
My father, who grew up partly on a central Montana homestead during the Great Depression, was also a believer in Longs, because they looked just as long as Long Rifles. He always thought I was nuts for spending the extra money for Long Rifles with my paper-route money.....
I am going by memory...weren't the longs around 29 grains? This is a long, long time ago.
