Default RE: .44 for bear protection

A friend of mine did a coastal with his .44mag. , he was working for AF&G at the time, a 180gr jacketed went from front to rear , hit 2 bones and kept on going, however, the brown went about 75 yds after the shot, luckely in the other direction.
My friend said if he HAD to do it again, does not want to, he would want the Lee 310gr rfngc over 22gr H110, about 1300fps from a 7 1/2" barrel, using ww's metal.
