Who else uses a .357 as a woods gun? Here's a list of what's most likely to attack you in my area, in order:
1) Bull Moose (king of the woods, NO fear of man whatsoever, they'll even charge trains head-on)
2) Mother black bears
3) Cougars
4) Two legged predators
5) Grizzly bears
6) Wolves
7) Coyotes (only if rabid or starving)
I've been carrying my 3" SP101 with Doubletap 158gr jacketed hollow cavity, tougher bullet than true hollow points. About 1350fps w/3" barrel. Seems to be a good compromise for threats that can range anywhere from 60 to 1000 pounds. Any other suggested loads, since I can't find that one anymore?
