would a 45 stop/kill a bear? or do u have to be a marksman to do it?i am going to buy a 44 mag in the future for sure but just courious if this will do for know when camping???
why would you convert doubletap's std pressure 45acp 230grn run 1010fps from a 5" gun.The decision to convert and how you wish to make the conversion is up to you. Yes, it is harder on the gun than standard ammo. Those BB rounds are spec'd to leave the 5" barrel 1000fps and I had 7 more in the mag just in case
Oh, believe me, a 500 S&W will indeed stop a Grizzly. (As will a 460 S&W, a 454 Casull, and a 44 Magnum)---with proper shot placement and correct load choice of course.8541 said:Bear? What kind of bear? Alaskan brown (Grizzley)? There is no pistol made including the new 500 S&W that is adequate for stopping a Griz.
I'm not sure that its a standard pressure load, more likely its a hot +P but I could be wrong. I checked on Buffalo Bore & Corbon's sites and they both list a 45acp +P at 950 fps so the 1010 from DT is in the realm. The 45 Super uses a reinforced case to safely contain the higher pressure's that are generated during its firing sequence.mavracer said:why would you convert doubletap's std pressure 45acp 230grn run 1010fps from a 5" gun.

.Its 1100fps (618 ft-lbs) with the 230gr FMJ out of the 5" barrel
