Kill a grizzly with 124gr Speer Gold dots, I got 17 I could get off fairly fast and I believe I could get 50% of those into the dome. If not what bullet would I need? Asking the griz experts.

Can you do it while a Griz is coming at you from 30 yards away at 40 mph is the question.

They have been killed with a 22 one time by an old lady years ago

I would carry the 147 grain fmj or hard cast if a 9 was all I had.

You don't have to be a grizzly expert to know that it's a matter of luck and how well placed your shots are. Better penetrating 9mm rounds would be a better bet, though.

They have been killed with a 22 one time by an old lady years ago World record, at that. Of course, it was about to eat her as she was at the creek washing clothes and her single-shot .22 was all she had. P
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Just be sure and file the hammer off, if it has one.

Elmer Keith recommended big bore rifles and to use them to take out the shoulders to stop a Griz charge.
In my opinion, it's possible to stop a griz charge with a 9mm about 1 out of 50,000 times.
The other 49,999 times the people attempting to do so will leave this world as a decomposing bear turd.

So a 9mm (.355”) at 1250 FPS is different than a 357 (.358”) at 1250 FPS , some of y’all underestimate the power of centerfire pistols and rifles.
