158 gr. bullet at 1550 f.p.s. would give be 840 ft/lbs. of energy.
If my 6" revolver only pushed those bullets at 1420 ft/s, I'd still be delivering 700 foot-pounds of kinetic energy.

Yall are making this way to complicated. An ice cold Budweiser will usually appease them. That being said I would be interested in hearing an actual bear attack story and how you survived it.

Good call. One is all it takes. Keep the other 5 for yourself.
So a buzzed bear is safer?
That bear must be kin to Longmire... Rainier only
Look into the Ruger Kodiak Backpacker.
