Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Solid or expanding bullet for Mountain Lion

I've been thinking about this question also, but specifically with a Ruger New Model 44 Special.

I like cast bullets for most purposes but have decided on the 200 grain XTP @ 1130 fps. It should open up (maybe stay in the Lion with a frontal shot) and it shoots in an inch @ 25 yards from my 4 5/8" BlackHawk.

Now I'm looking at closed-bottom-flap-covered holsters.
