I am going in remote Eastern Oregon with dogs in about a month and am thinking of taking a hiking pistol or revolver, especially on a chest holster. I do have a 7.5" 44 magnum Super blackhawk as well as a 44 magnum carbine. I will be hiking out of a base camp. The area is home of bear, cougar, wolves, and occassional intoxicated natives and criminal types that drive the roads. You can go for days without people traveling the roads.
I was thinking of purchasing the BB rounds above for my Smith 4006 which holds 11 rounds and puts out about 560 fp of energy and close to 357 158 grain performance. A 4006 or my GP 100 is liter to carry. Ideas if I should purchase the BB 40 cal 155 grain +p rounds? Or, do what? I will have a buddy in the base camp with me. Thanks.
