[QUOTE="wvbearhunter, post: 2749193, member: 126150"] Bear hunting is my addiction. My primary rifle is a Winchester 1892 in 357 magnum, it has a 24" octagon barrel. I blasphemed by mounting a Trijicon RMR on it. My handloaded 158 grain Nosler JSP's reach 2205 (average)fps out of that rifle. Thats using .8 grains above max (according to Hodgdens) load with Lil Gun. I have zero pressure signs though but accuracy falls off any hotter. I shot this bear under 40 yards. He was the most aggressive black bear I ever encountered. When I shot him he was standing on his hind legs raking a tree with his claws and clacking his teeth together. One shot right at the base of the neck......DRT. [ATTACH type="full"]439957[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
