Yesterday I picked up a Smith and Wesson 44 Mag that I intend on using for a backup gun while in bear country. What makes a better round to stop bears, a 240 grain going a little faster or a 300 grain going a little slower. I picked up a box of the Hornady 300 Grain hollow points becauseI thought that would be the best. Anyone have a factory load they would recommend tostop bears as quick as possible at close range?

Thanks Bryan
