THIS! I carry Underwood's 255 grain Hard Cast "Keith" bullets in .44Special. They make for a bad day to even the heartiest/most pissed off of black bears. That semi-wadcutter hard cast pounds pelt, smashes bone, and stays nose forward thru vitals and anything else. They are rated at 1000fps and are easy to control for follow up shots. I've carried the same pill but in .44mag rated at 1300fps... which is just overkill for a black bear threat! Brown Bears though... it's totally suitable for those mean f-ers!
