I have been following this thread with intrest and finally decided to add a little input... I lived and worked in high remote Alaska for three plus years in the Aleutian Islands, Kaktovik, Barter Island and Barrow... I my opinion and my experience, and tips and info from the "old timers" and fish and wildlife officers there is not a hand gun or shotgun suitable for bear unless you can stick it in his mouth before pulling the trigger and by then you are in serious hurt... I carried the recommened 45/70 Winchester which a lot of the remote residents and natives kept handy, and a few carried the 45/90... I also saw a couple of 45/120's... these rifles are capible of breaking a hip or shoulder and penetrating thier skull which at low angle a 7mm mag sometimes will not... A bears heart / lungs are up higher and semi protected by his shoulder blades...
Just say'n, be careful...

4 5/8" SBH, 310gr hard cast & a healthy load of H110.
Sorry, that would be a Ruger Super Blackhawk, in 44 Remington Magnum. like the gun you sold a while back, but with a shorter bbl.
Yes! they are.I was told they are not in business anymore? sadly I loaded my last hundred or so this hunting season.Are those 310 gr bullets from Pat and Vicky at Liberty ?
Sure look like some of the ones i picked up from them years ago.
