[QUOTE="alaska, post: 1484704, member: 23096"] no buckshot For bear save the buckshot for bucks The new Federal hard Slug that is Copper plated should be excellent also. You will have no problem busting a bear skull with a slug from a 12 ga. Only problem is hitting it. We have practice pulling 50gal barrel with a veh simulating a bear charge and trying to hit the head with a pistol. At 15/10/5 yards. Aim for the nose if he is coming straight at you. Very hard to do with a pistol. Shotgun works better. A bear charge happens in a matter of seconds if you see him. A lot are People are not aware of their surroundings and are taken by surprise. Like fishing or skinning a moose. Food in camp is a magnet cooking in sleeping tents is a mistake. They have such great noses. So we train only use your pistol to get to your shotgun. Stay Alert and Stay Alive. As for pump and auto I have had both, but my 2 shotguns are Browning Auto 5 and Benelli M4. Both excellent shotguns a lot of police dep are switching to Auto. You can fire them with one hand if needed. Moose are easy to kill [/QUOTE]
