"Bottom line, if you believe the 357 is an adequate bear stopper, you could be right"

Then again you could be dead wrong! As you said there is no comparison to killing game stalked to killing DG in an unexpected charge. Some use bow and arrow for grizzly. I don't see any one using a bow for self defense and talking about broad head weight. I could care less what any one uses but is phuggin comical listening to some one pull drivel off from Google and compare shooting whitetails or rocks to charging bears. Personally I won't be taking a 45-70 for Cape buffalo any time sooner than I take a 357 lever gun for self defense against a bear attack. IMO there are those who just want to believe what they read and they are far more likely to be the ones that become statistics. After all if you read it on the internet it must be true! laugh
