Ruger 44 mag carbine - 06/28/20
Hello!
I have a question about 44 Mag ammo or possibly some recommendations on it.
My s-i-l was drawn for a WI bear tag for this fall. Years ago (30) she used to deer hunt with me. She always used my Ruger model 44 and with it shot 6-7 pretty decent bucks. She eventually decided deer hunting wasn't for her and she stopped going. Fast forward to the present and she finds herself with a bear tag for this fall. She is very excited to say the least and immediately asked if she could use my Ruger.
When she deer hunted I always bought Remington 240 grain soft points. They certainly seemed to do the job on deer so I am wondering if anyone has any experience with them on bear, or if there is a brand and or bullet type that would be better suited for bear.
Any replies are much appreciated.
