This last page has boiled it down better then most of the rest put together. I have had the unfortunate opportunity of having to stop a big cat from chewin my brother, and his Beretta 92 with 147 gr didn't even faze that cat, it took a .308 to the side of the head at point blank range to end it! I have also stopped two big browns, one was hit 4 times with a 7 mm Rem ultra mag, and that one took three more from my .375 to stop, the second was hit with three .338 win mag, and it took three more .45/70!!! I don't think I could have stopped any of those animals with a pistol, especially those two browns, but when I have no choice, it's a 10 mm loaded with 220 gr solids @ 1040fps and hope 17 rounds will do the job! Before that it was a .44 mag loaded with 270 gr solids at 970 fps and you better hope at least one finds ether the boiler room, or blows out a bone, or that big bruin is gonna kill you before you can reload. I do like the .357 mag for ONE very important reason, bone smashing power, one of the few mid bore that can crack a Browns skull
