Hunting deer in grizzly country.
OH SH** pistol will be my 44 srh.
OPTION 1:
My hunting handloads.
Is a 240 HCSWC at @1500fps. enough?
I know 300+grainers would be better. My theory behind the 240's is that's what I shoot most of the time, and this particular load is a tack driver in my gun. This particular load has prefomed very well on several deer in the past, alond with other game.
If it comes down to "instinct" shooting(which it almost certainly will be if the handgun comes out) is that I will be able to put them where I want them.
I know I should have spent some time on more effective round development, but I was just invited yesterday, and the hunt is this weekend.
OPTION 2:
Some off the shelf premium hunting ammo(buffalo-bore, etc.) that I have never shot before. No experience with recoil, trajectory, bullet performance on impact, etc.
