Revolver scope or not for bear protection

One more question I have loaded up some 340 grain hardcast rounds and I have laying around a box of 300 grain swift a frame bullets what would you use in your gun

My preference would be the cast bullets. They likely would penetrate better than an expanding bullet.

Not saying anything bad about the Swift bullets. They are good.

Thank you my friend. My hardcast is very accurate in my gun. Wish me luck Going all the way to Nome

And a shotgun is not with you all the time also. A 340 grain hardcast penn bullet out of my ruger is near 1400 fps with my hanload. It’s not a 45-70 but good enough to get the job done as humanly possible and luck. Much better than a stick or rock i think. The a frame is 1600 fps

Bear protection where? There is no place in the lower 48 where a gun with that much power is justified and only a handful in Alaska.

Are you forgetting just how big Alaska really is?

Only a handful in Alaska? He never has been there, I have run into lots and coastal brown bears are monsters
