Thanks for the input... I have a lot of bears were I hunt and and I spend a lot of time in the woods, turkey scouting, bow hunting. And I have seen quite a few and these bad boys and theyare not small!!!! I have yet to see one under 300lbs... I was leaning towards the 45 because it is pretty easy to tote around in the woods... I also have a M629 44 mag. I guess I'll start to taking that
