Ep. 285 | Is the 10mm the Best Bear Defense Pistol Cartridge? May 08, 2023

Show notes

Lots of folks are heading afield in grizzly country packing 10mm pistols these days. But is that the best option? There are certainly handguns with more oomph. What about handguns with less oomph? What attributes should a person prioritize? Velocity? Foot pounds of energy? Bullet diameter? Bullet weight? Bullet construction? Shootability? Mark Boardman and Ryan Muckenhirn bear down on this topic from a position of having never been there. Luckily most of us haven’t, but it is something to think about if likely finding yourself in bear country.

Interest and overall acceptance may say otherwise, but there are those who love this cartridge and will defend its honor till their death. Is the .325 designation even accurate? Mark Boardman and Ryan Muckenhirn chat about this interesting cartridge that some say is good for everything yet deemed good for nothing by many.
