I never said there weren't better bullets. The point is to pick a good bullet that will penetrate.
Double Naught Spy Wrote:Nope. That isn't the absolute you present. It may be a frontal charge, but remember that "self defense" includes defense of others. Also, threatening animals that are circling intended prey will not be presenting a frontal shot. As with the the moose attack video you posted where the shooting was NOT a front charge.
Seriously, bears will circle you if they are going to charge ??? Perhaps the bears are a little different in Texas than in Montana,lol. The moose did do a frontal charge, if you watched the video. In any case moose are big animals and deep penetration is preferable to expanding, low penetrating bullets.
