Bear defense - with incendiary rounds?

[10mmglock]

ok so no round is big enough when it comes to defense against grizzlies... aside from a 500 magnum and a 50BMG. I did a little research not too long ago and put an order in for 10mm incendiary (explosive) rounds for my glock. they came in and they make a pretty damn big "explosion". Look on youtube you can find a few links demonstrating their effect.

Bottom line, I know these rounds wont explode unless they hit a hard surface (metal, concrete, bear skull etc). do any of you think it would be decent defense against a charging bear? theyre made to start fires, maybe it can set the bear on fire? burn its eyes out? do NOTHING? looking for some input, thanks

How about a .454 Casull with 300 grain flat points. Don't think your exploding rounds are legal.

What the others said---Spam or a bunch of illegal BS, LOL!!!

Not to mention you'll have a big bill from the USFS for setting the forest on fire, and probably a year or two to think about it........

A 44 mag with 240gr. or 278gr. Keith style hard casts will do the trick, or if you dont hand load you can get 340gr lead long FN Buffalo Bore 44 mag. +P+ they shoot a 340gr. hard cast at 1478fps, and will take down anything that you could possibly run in to in North America, but they are too powerful to shoot in a Smith & Wesson, they are only rated for, Ruger Super Redhawk, Super Blackhawk, Freedom Arms M.83, and Dan Wesson. They are totally legal and will deffinitely do the job.
