  This is the best informative video I&apos;ve ever seen on protecting yourself from Grizzlies!! <br>It not only compares different firearms and calibers but stresses having your rifle ready and not in your pack or slung over your shoulder. <br>A+++++

  It would be worth testing .30-30 caliber cartridges loaded with the excellent 170-grain Nosler Partition bullets—or perhaps the new offerings from Buffalo Bore or Barnes, both of which feature a 190-grain bullet—on large bears. I believe they would perform exceptionally well. It would be very interesting to study the results

  Last time I was up there, I had was snooping around n daylight in a dried grassy field. Saw some strange thing off in the distance and really wanted to go and check them out. So I went out with my Colt 45 and a large can of bear spray thrown into my cargo pocket in my pants. About half the way to the “things” I came very close to a small rise and everything looked ik. So I approached a funny looking hole and had to climb os about a two ft dirt mound. As I did this my bear spray got into a weird position in my n pants and as soon as I took my first step to climb the tnft rides my can caught some fabric<br>And went off in my pocket. Completely dousing my privates with bear spray. So I had to an abandon the mission and headed back to my truck. Called a buddy who was a male nurse and asked him if he knew what to do about the privates being covered with bear spray. <br>Well after about 5 minutes he stopped laughing and we went rhrough to fist aid. Routine. <br><br>It was not really not that bad. Nothing like CS gas I was used to in the infantry, but I switched brands before I tried it again. To be sure it’s was effective. The shot went through two full layers of military BDU pants so I think they filtered most of the bad stuff because the next type I used kicked my rump after testing it on my arm. I would have use a neither for such testing but they all moved away. &nbsp;Any way u remember taking the spray safety off before stuffing it into my cargo pocket and thought that i should rig it in my chest pocket but you know? I just didn’t think it would be that strong and I was right. It gave me a little I issue but if I were a bee we at I would not even stop. The different brand was exactly what I expected to stop a bear. So I’m glad I was the Guinney pig. I looked at my<br>Colt 45 and said good thing it had Nee magnum loads in it. <br>Take care. <br>Rickb1.

  I’m partial to my Savage 99. In .358 Winchester. What’s wrong with that?

  I&apos;m from Eastern Idaho and the gun I chose - because Grizzly is a reality here - is the Henry X and I use (actually practice) with Buffalo &nbsp;Bore 430 gr. I have been curious about GRIZZLY ammo through Tractor Supply Co. Do you have any experience with that brand of ammo?

  You’ve got some of the strangest videos like a Lever on top of the receiver but the full auto lever gun killed it.
