Re: New from PA...with questions
Don't hunt much any more. Used to hunt black bear up near our summer cabin. If I still did, I would have definitely chosen the 44.
I chose instead my 357, which if I upload, would still do the job though with a well placed shot. That's why I keep some HSM 180 gr bear loads on hand....Didn't really answer your question directly, just thought I'd chime in FWIW.

All of my guns (sans a Rossi .44 mag) are scoped due to my eyesight. I have a Henry .22 and a .357/38 All Weather that are scoped. If I were deer hunting I would take that .357 magnum with 158grn Speer SP any day and keep my shots under 100 yards.

Fully agree. The .357 would go either way on the deer and black bear here in Colorado.markiver54 wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 7:49 pmDon't hunt much any more. Used to hunt black bear up near our summer cabin. If I still did, I would have definitely chosen the 44.
