[QUOTE="436, post: 2645779, member: 16609"] Agree the "foster" isn't what I'd use either, and the 450 Bush is not a bad choice with a ballistic profile of a 250-grain, .452-inch bullet traveling at just over 2,200 feet per second with a muzzle energy of 2,600 foot-pounds with that stated, the Brenneke Black Magic Magnum 3", weight 602 grains, 1502 FPS, and 3014 ft-lbs at the muzzle is still looking pretty good. I think it's what feels right and stay within the range of what one would feel, would work, from the available information on hand about the aforementioned subject; smacking Big Bear at "close range" for protection... with perhaps only one or two shots, three I'd think if you were on the lucky side... they are fast. Brenneke also has a Magnum Crush slug that weighs 656 grains (1½ ounces) and it delivers 3,800 ft/lb energy at the muzzle, the vel's are over 1600 fps. But... if I understand it right the Black Magic 602gr is a somewhat harder lead. I don't really think all copper slugs are the solution, great for Deer, but... for Big Bears? 🤔 Just my 0.2 Cheers [/QUOTE]
