10mm
« on: August 09, 2013, 08:16:51 PM »
I'm going up to scout a potential high hunt area for a few days next week and am considering picking up a bear tag for it. I don't really want to go through the hassle of dragging a rifle around all the time just in case but always carry the pistol.

Would you shoot a bear in a hunting situation with 10mm? If so, 200gr hard cast or 180gr Hornady xtp? Vital shot with the expanding ammo or shoulder shot with the hard cast? Or maybe a neck shot? I shoot the pistol with hunting accuracy out to about 75m without a rest, so a 50m shot should be within reason on live game.

Which 10mm pistol? Not that it matters. As long as the barrel is 4" in length.

Handguns:
Big game, except cougar, may be hunted with
handguns with a minimum barrel length
of 4 inches per manufacturers specification,
and fire a minimum .24 caliber centerfire
cartridge. The minimum for cougar is a .22
caliber centerfire handgun. Rimfire handguns
are not legal for big game
Losing is natures' way of saying you suck.

I WAS WRONG  :sry:   I was thinking the opposite rule that doesn't allow me to use my .270 encore in a restricted area( i think it states that it specifically has to be a revolver type handgun) .
