[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1175769, member: 4191"] [b]Re: Bear protection weapon / ammo[/b] For bear defense, you won't do any better than a reliable 12ga pump action with either the Brenneke Heavy Short Field Magnum slugs, or better yet, their Special Forces Maximum Barrier Penetration Magnum slug. Both of these are 2 3/4" slugs, which have the advantage of a shorter pump throw to eject the empties and feed a shell from the magazine. Smooth bore barrel in the 18.5 to 20" length range. Cylinder or Improved Cylinder choke. Make sure you've fired these in your shotgun at the range for confirmation of POI, and to test your recoil tolerance. The Maximum Barrier Penetration Magnum slugs kick more than the Heavy Short Field Magnum slugs, on both ends of the shotgun. [/QUOTE]
