I agree that the 44 mag is the logical choice for the vast majority of revolver hunters.
Living in Alaska where black bear is the smallest big game animal I will hunt I like a little more gun so I went with the 480 & heavy cast bullets, but I only load it to about 1200fps. Comfortable to shoot & with 400-420gr bullets all I need for the biggest critters. LOTS of 9-10' brown bear in our area & the saying is "carry a gun that's not only big enough for what you are hunting, but for what may be hunting you!".
