Cor-bon makes some 45 acp with over 600 foot lbs.
It's all shot placement, the deaf guy said to the blind guy.
not enough penetration.
Uh... not a single one of those loads is over 600 foot pounds. It says right there in the picture.

.44 mag. Preferably the 300 gr. Federal loads.Recently I have been tossing around the idea to get a new firearm for a bear defense gun. I'm moving onto a heavily wooded ranch and there is talk of a very large and very curious black bear on the property, so naturally I'm using it as a partial excuse to buy a new firearm.
There's a lot of choices for this purpose, so I need some advice. I've done a lot of research but I could use some opinion on the best option.
10mm, .45, .45-70, .44, .454 cassul, .500 s&w
What do you think?
We can go outside of the choices given?This.^^^
I've owned a 500 S&W, a 41 Mag and 357s.
If you want to put a bear down and want something besides the rifle that will do a far better job than any handgun, a 20" 12 gauge shotgun with slugs is the ticket. In my "hammer" I have two rounds of buckshot, followed by alternating slug and buckshot.
A black bear is more likely to turn tail and run than anything. If it decides differently, you had better be able to drop him where he stands. Unless you have the ability to hit consistently with something like a 500. 460, 454 or a super hot 44 or 41 mag, you're far better off with a slug gun.
This is mine. I carry it often.

.44 mag. Preferably the 300 gr. Federal loads.
Big, fat bullet with a whole lotta oomph behind it, but more controllable than some of those other choices.
Its because the bullet is longer, in relation to its width.It's the mass of the projectile combined with the sectional density that does the job, especially if you are trying to get penetration thru heavy bones (breaking them in the process). A .429" projectile is not that much 'fatter' than a .358" projectile. But 300 to 350 grains is almost double the weight of 158 to 180 grains in most .357 mag loads and that makes all the difference in a heavily muscled heavily boned creature.
If a person had a cartridge that pushed a 300 grain .358" projectile at 1200 fps it would actually be better than a .429" 300 grain load at 1200 fps because the sectional density of the .358" projectile is higher and therefor will penetrate better.
