Penetration wanted, go with some of those hard casts from various vendors. I just don'tsee a need for anything over 300 grains.
Question, most people encounter grizz when in Alaska, but how many have had to draw and shoot one? Most guides i read about pack a shotgun or a carbine. With all the talk about packing the big hurt for all these bears, they ought to be extinct!

Thank you. I do appreciate the info.
Allow me to explain a bit about me. I was born with an arthritis condition that left me with no movement to my head. My head is fused looking forward only. I can not shoot rifles/shotguns because I can not move my head to look down the sights.
Therefor I am using revolvers because I can hold them in front if me easily.
I will eventually buy other weights of bullets. But for today its 360 grainers.
We ' ve come across bears barely twenty feet away (sow/cub)
