The fact that the 300's do almost the same as the 250's is another reason why I like the heavy bullets. Fast follow up shots with a bullet that has the necessary weight and momentum to keep on plowing.

Problem is that with a 4" 629 the 300 grain slugs give one hellofa recoil and muzzle jump. The quick second shot just isnt quick at all.
240 grains slugs work well. I just bought a box of 240 FMJ's that I intend on loading up. If they wont penetrate..nothing is going to.!
If Fred Bear can kill a Kodiak with a bow and arrow...I have no problem in "defending myself" from a black bear or a grizzly from the 48 states!
