[QUOTE="340Wby-4-everything, post: 3078973, member: 47425"] FN510 no question. For brown nasty furballs, comes with a 22 and 15 rd mag. They handle and shoot well. Agreed. However, numerous friends and acquaintances that guide/hunt regularly in AK, Yukon and BC have all switched to a 10mm. I've asked a bunch of them if they like it better than a .44mag, Casull, 460, 500, etc. Without an exception, they all said no, but I **** sure prefer 15 or more rds to just 5 or 6. I asked if they thought they could get more rds off with an auto, couple said they didn't know but felt so, couple said if it ever gets to that, clean your black suit, and a couple said they practice with it a lot and were sure they would get at least twice the hits compared to a revolver. Many said your hit rate on one charging if your very lucky is 40% and more likely 20 to 33% is pretty good. So, would you rather have 1 or 2 hits from a 460 or 500smith or 4-6 from a 10mm? I'll take the 10 everytime. I have several big bores, just limited rounds and heavy as hell. It just makes for common sense, all those big bores provide so much recoil that getting back on target for 2 out of 5 or 2 of 6 is probably the very best you will get.
