RE: .44 mag for bear.
I am just saying that the loads he stated can be done in a handgun. And way surpassed in a rifle. YOu should now since you have the 44 mag rifle that you can way outdo what he states like the 240 at 1700+ fps. that is a handgun load that is it NOT a rifle load. That can be way out done in a carbine. I am just saying that he must not have all the facts if he is saying that he can get a 240 gr bullet to 1770+ fps and that is it. The carbine can way outdo it and out do the 30-30 up to 100-150 yards. I would and I don't care about what he states because it is just not all the facts. this must be old time loadings or just factory loads because they can be way out done now. Hey I love my 445 supermag and love handguns for hunting period. I am not the most knowledgeable person in the world but I know what the 44 mag can do in a handgun and rifle and what he stated is bull dinkel. He is not even close to what the 44 mag can do now a days.
