You might need more firepower if you’re planning on horse sex. I’d recommend a .45-70. But that subject has been covered to exhaustion so no need to review it again.I read that title 3 times before i figured out it did not say "10 mm recommendation for farrier sex"
For big bear defense, what’s the advantage of using buffalo bore/underwood hardcast vs something like federal HST or hornady critical duty? The latter two options seem to penetrate over 12” through barriers, which seems to be acceptable for North American animal terminal wounding (based on reading throughout this site). With a 9mm, the hardcast options penetrate 4-6 ft. Using one type of ammo for city and woods would be nice, and I don’t know that 4-6 feet of penetration incapacitates faster…unless I’m getting charged by a 10 foot bear running backwards behind auto glass and I need to reach vitals via the scenic route.Buffalo Bore is the most readily available.
However, once the realization that head shots are the only thing that will stop a bear, most good blind to barrier ammo will do just fine.
