2.8 grains of Red Dot and the Lee 356-90RF should do it. Let's not waste powder and lead lol
How long of a barrel? Are you sticking it in the bears eye, against the roof of his mouth or in his ear?
Synthetic 20W-40W will always figure in a good lube.
[The Montana Gianni] Front sight and squeeze
Plain old 158 grain SWC for maximum penetration. Just make sure you only use the first five on the bear so you have the last one for yourself.

any load wil do but lube it with bacon grease and donut glaze, whenn a bear attacks thriw itt down and run away while it eats it
Most any .38 Special load should work as well as the mighty (cough) .25 ACP in slowing down your companion during bear attack.

22 lr for bear defense is the best thing going
light and easy to carry and packs more into a clip
maximum fire power
Hit em'hard

I've got the itch, but don't got the scratch.
There was an article in Outdoor Life in the 50s or 60s by Ben East entitled "Handgun Versus A Brownie." It related a true story of a wildlife photographer in Alaska who successfully repelled a brown bear attack with a 6-inch Colt Official Police shooting Super--X 158-grain lead round nosed .38-44 loads which gave about 1125 fps from a 6- inch revolver. IIRC the fellow was a WW2 combat vet and ex-cop who calmly engaged the charging bear at hot breath distance putting rounds into the eye sockets, up the nostrils and into the soft pallet of the open mouth, dumping six rounds rapidly double action. The bear knocked him down and laid dead on top of him!
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.

I was thinking it was a load for a bear to pack in defense against humans!

Whatever load you decide on, just be sure to file the front sight smooth. It will hurt less that way when the bear sticks it where the sun don’t shine.

I use something less powerful. That load might over penetrate and kill a baby hiding behind the bear.
The cynical or ignorant person strolling through the data might come to the conclusion that (1) 44 magnums attract bears -- used in 30 of the 104 cases, and (2) 45 Super is far less of an attractant -- only used in 1 of the 104 documented cases.Originally Posted by M-Tecs
Since I didn't see 375 Supermag, would this be a better choice yet?

I want to know more about motorcycle oil. Vtwin or inline? Wet or dry clutch? Old or new? Synthetic or dino? And the added controversy, how often do you change it?!!!!
Heck, if a puny 9mm can kill a grizzly why not a .38?Me? I just avoid Grizzly country when on foot.
For me, the data reinforces the first rule of any gunfight;..."HAVE A GUN". While not the best option, even the .22s made a difference!The cynical or ignorant person strolling through the data might come to the conclusion that (1) 44 magnums attract bears -- used in 30 of the 104 cases, and (2) 45 Super is far less of an attractant -- only used in 1 of the 104 documented cases.

Almost any .38 special load will work when fired from inside the bear.

News reports indicate that in the incident Rudy Noorlander had this week with a grizzly, that the revolver he was carrying "misfired." Anybody know what that revolver was?
