I've got a nice 4" S&W 25-5 in .45 Colt that I'd like to load a reasonable load to carry in the NE Georgia mountains for black bear protection, not 50 yard hunting shots. A young man took one last year that weighed over 600 lbs. with a crossbow, but obviously most of them aren't that size. I'd like to load the Lee 300 grain RNFP GC boolit to a pressure and velocity that is reasonable, not Ruger level. I want to keep the gun and my aging wrists in good shape. I have Win 296 and Aliant 2400 to play with and welcome any reasonable suggestions. GF
