Buffalo Bore heavy 10mm 180gr hollow point ammo isn't bear ammo. I shot a cow 3 times in the side of the head - neck and one time between the eyes and never knocked her off her feet. After that ordeal I rotate the 220gr hard cast ammo as every other round in my magazine. If I hadn't seen it I'd never would of believed it.

Really hope NOT to have first hand experience stopping frisky bears with a handgun. I’d be very grateful for entrance holes in charging bears; exit holes would be heavy 😊Thanks for the input!

Why do you alternate ineffective ammo in with [bleep] that works?

Need any extra buck I might could find some. Last thing I Buffalo Bore heavy 10mm 180gr hollow point ammo isn't bear ammo.

Depends the bear and what you are doing. 180 xtps and 200 xtps kill very well with lung shots. VERY well. There is a big difference in uses. Stopping vs hunting. For me, stopping decent bears is where I carry no handgun and a large rifle. No shotguns. No handguns. OTOH when its only a slight chance handguns are handy. Ammo choice is always an issue even then. Am I hunting. Or am I responsible to stop a bear or moose etc... to save me or clients. Different situations. Different needs weapon and ammo wise.
