Golden Sabre's 158 - 165g. Those are some pretty stout rounds on a guy - but he's not a bear. Put all of them in him and then throw that 2nd clip in there and procede as necessary.

But if YOU KNOW you're gonna be in bear country, follow your buddies lead and get yourself some heavier metal. Seems everyonje wants to know.....44 mag?.....454?.....460?.....45/70?

Let's not forget what speaks louder than any of them ...................... 12 gauge throwing slugs.

Till then, just make sure you can run plenty faster than your buddy can!
(don't have to outrun your buddy - just the bear!)
