10mm

Get some buffalo bore hard cast bullets

I reload both 200gr hard cast and 180gr xtp's so either one is available.

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

NO rim fire it says. 

I WAS WRONG     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) .

I built a couple 10mm MP5's. They were devastating on Pigs.

That sounds sexy as hell!

Haha I have a friend who won't go in the woods without his 10mm after being charged by a sow with cubs 2 years ago elk hunting. Talk about a grown man going soft at the knees

[grizzlyadams]

It could get the job done, but is not legal in our great state.

Yes it is legal in our state. Barrel has to be 4" in length. This is why I carry a 10. Not necessarily to hunt with but close quarters legal dispatch if needed.

Absolutely!!! The 10mm is an amazing round, and it is very legal! Put em down.

After having the misfortune to have to kill a wounded bear with my Kimber .45 in 2010 I started to carry a G20 or G29 while in bear country. Maxed out 200 grn XTP's 

I hope I never have to do that again.

I'd still bring a rifle though.

glad to have seen this thread, i picked up a glock 20 this past spring and have put in a lone wolf barrel it shoots great, i just haven't started loading for it, though i have all the components

[madmack76]

had a colt delta in 10mm that thing is a power house i would put up against any 45 great round i even took 2 deer with it, hunting black tail in the brush great times.

How about an older SW 357 with a 6" barrel and Buffalo Bore 180 LFN on a lung/leg or CNS shot? I've been thinking about picking up a single action 44 but have this SW pistol that my grandad left to me a few years ago. It shoots great and I'm sure he'd be happy to know I'm using it.
