Bear and Wolf medicine for a 44 mag?

[Kittman]

I forgot to mention that I also have a box or two loaded with some of the silhouette projectiles with 250 grain Sierra bullets.  These are accurate and do not mushroom very much at all, and would make much trouble for a bear, period.

This is what my Taurus .444 Ultra Lite is loaded with.  Not the most enjoyable target shooting set up but that's not really what it's for

The title on the box says it all......... .

Really......what else out there is that thickly armored, heavy, big boned, fast, mean and unpredictable that scares us more than a bear..... .  Sure, cats are perhaps smarter and obviously much quicker, but cats are an overall much more fragile animal.  A bit like comparing a deer to an elk.

I load for bear........no pun intended.  I fully expect that my load will also dispatch a bull effectively and quite honestly, my .44 Mag and my load are pretty much dedicated to those 2 game animals.

I did take a nice 2 x 2 blacktail buck a few years back with this set-up, but it was totally for the challenge, not out of necessity.

Will do after some wringing it out....... .

I actually bought two G43's.  One for a lady friend and one for myself.  I own a few others in .40....the G23 and G27.  My son owns a G27, as well. 

Glock fan?  You could say so, but not a raging one, albeit, I would have good reason to be.  While not having any 'fail to' anythings with any of my handguns in 40+ years (less a cheapo Jennings 'Raven?' tephlon .22 LR which just would not ever run consistently....you get what you pay for), my Glocks don't need a specific 'diet' of ammo to ensure that they perform flawlessly.  Others.....not so much per many reviews and manufacturers recommendations.

I'm expecting the same 'ole historically boring, no nonsense, 'feed me whatever ammo you have on hand' positive results and operation from these new G43's.  If not, for whatever reason, I will certainly post those issues here and will then obviously be immediately in direct contact with those that can or should remedy such issues.

But yes......I will certainly post up my experiences with these firearms......
