RE: .44 mag for bear.
I'm using Hornady's 300 grn XTP(of course!)in my muzzleloader.It is a .44 cal bullet and I'm sure I'm not getting 2000fps out of it.None the less,its goin' bear hunting with me this year.If ya' wonder what size bear we have here....check out my post under the "How big is big" thread in this forum...
