[QUOTE="OHJEEZE, post: 3931928, member: 47878"] Black bears? I vote for the 66 in 357! Off the top of my head, cant remember if there are bigger bears up there. A lot depends on your loads in the firearms you listed. Since 10mm and 357 magnum can be similar in power (splitting hairs would mean loading and cronographing from the tools you listed. A equal grain weight 357 has better sectional density than the 10mm, therefore the a apples to apples boolit of equal power, the 357 will drill its hole deeper! If the bears are bigger than black bears, take the 45 colt with some stout loads safe for your Ruger! Edit in reguards to the guy in the video shooting the bear target. I (think I) would have my pistola out as soon as I saw the bear, and would begin firing as soon as the bastard charged! [/QUOTE]
