Congrats James! The mount looks great, and should be a good deterrent to any home intruder!

Great addition to your trophy room! Fill us in a little on your bullet/load of choice. Congrats!

Great bear James. Love those claws!
And more on the load, bullet and penetration would be nice.

Great addition to your trophy room! Fill us in a little on your bullet/load of choice. Congrats!  Kral, At first I was trying to get a 325gr Swift A-frame and 325gr Barnes Buster to shoot at the same point of impact when I came across two boxes of Cor-Bon 360gr Penetrators that were for a hippo hunt that never happened. The load had a listed MV of 1500fps and since they shot good out to 100 and I stayed with the Penetrators. The Dan Wesson was loaded with Grizzly`s 44mag Punch bullet load that was very accurate at 50yds. The flat point Penetrator really hit hard...
