I had pretty bad leading in my G20 with Buffalo Bore 220 gr TC cast boolit ammo. With the oem polygonal rifled barrel. Also got quite a guppy belly on the brass.

I think a pistol caliber carbine is a GREAT option ! Even a 357 mag. A friend has one with an 18" barrel. He has shot the 180 gr Buffalo Bore HC ammo in his Marlin and Chronographed it at over 1850...
I know dozens of people that have and pack Marlin Guide guns in 45/70 mostly and a few with 450 Marlins.

See, there ya go.
Ammo can not be shipped to Alaska like it can down south.
It can come up with checked baggage on an airline ( small amount) Or it can be barged up ( any amount a person can...
Well that's the thing . powder charge was just fine. The problem was shotgun slugs have horrible sectional density. Even the vaunted Brenneke slugs.
If someone made a handload with a 2 1/2 - 3oz...
A 300 gr 458 TSX with a mv of 2700 fps leaves a baseball size hole completely thru a 7 ft sq. Brown bear on a broadside shot from 50 feet away. Been there done that. That bear died at the speed of...
I've only found Brenneke slugs in 2 places in Alaska in over 40 years. And all the 12 ga was sold out both times.
From 1982 thru 2008 I lived almost continuously in dense bear country in Southeast Alaska. Working and living in the brush , thinning trees , logging and falling timber. Living in remote camps.

Every time I see one of these legitimate bear threads that gets overrun by the shotgooners my head want to start blowing steam out my ears.
Shotguns SUCK for killing brown bear.

I would say , and voted 45.
The 45s and 458s will handle just about anything. 2 or 4 legged.
Nice heavyweight cast boolits.

You also need to look out for synthetic weights. I use a pair of diagonal cutters to check the hardness. A steel weight is easy to tell . Zinc are too hard to cut into very much. Lead stick on...

My problem is squirrels. The #9 shot CCI45 ACP isn't getting enough penetration at 30 feet. If it hit a bone close to the skin it would break it well . But , body hits lacked penetration. I'm gonna...

I wish I could find some around here that have bigger than #9 shot. #6 would be ideal for my use. A Judge or Governor would be ideal. But I don't really want either. I like using my Bisley...
