[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2095903, member: 711"] [COLOR="#FF0000"][/COLOR] Bullet selection is very important when dealing with animals which may dispute your place at the top of the foodchain. Heavy ball will stop big critters when hollowpoints will just really annoy them. That said, if you are going where hogs or bears are a real possibility, you need something designed to kill big critters. 9mm and .40 are designed to kill people. If I was going where the big bears are, a short shotgun loaded with 3 inch 12 ga Barnes slugs would be my choice. The Federal rep who was at H&H a few years ago told me their Barnes slug 3 inch 12 ga rounds would penetrae 48 inches of ballistic gel. If I could have only one caliber, it would probably be the .40, and I'd just stay away from bears and hogs. When I go into hog country, I carry a Redhawk loaded with 300 grain jacketed solids.
