If the bear is 50 yards away you sould not be shooting at it anyway.
I realize that, but 10 yards isnt, once a bear passes 10 yards, its go time, I am not about to let a bear have body contact with me before I start shooting, after all it only takes one smack with a paw and your head could be rolling down the mountain.
6 shots of the side of the head just gives him a migrain.
One shot to the side of the head from my 44 mag and any bear would be dead. I wouldnt have to worry about having to wrestle the darn thing.
