Bear bullet?

[gold40]

I SUSPECT the hard cast bullet would work better, BUT....

......Since none of us have ever shot a grizzley with a rifle or handgun, these opinions are pure conjecture. I'm always amused about how many people offer advice and opinions on topics where they have zero first-hand knowledge. Usually they just repeat something they once read in Field & Stream many years ago. Or, they opine that "Bigger is Better."

I SUSPECT that very few grizzleys are killed with a handgun in any given year. There was one recent news article about a guy using a .45 auto to kill a Grizzley Bear in Alaska that was attacking his girlfriend. They both ran, as did the bear. Game wardens later found the dead bear only 100 yards away from the shooting site. This one recorded instance doesn't prove that a 1911 is the ideal bear protection.
