had close encounters with mountain lions two archery seasons in a row and that made it an easy choice to get a .357 mag. and the bear population is increasing quite a bit where i hunt and at least one is a griz.
but if i run into that griz the pistol is probably gonna be more for me than the bear.
FMJ should be good enough for any skull in NA to 25yd. I hope.
