1) Looking for a good holster when doing a lot of hiking. I figure something across the chest/belly. Any thoughts? (7 inch barrel)
2) A more general question. Any consensus on the best hard case for a large revolver? Something that could get bounced around in the back of a 4x4 a bit and not worry, with "adjustable" foam. Guy at the gun store says Pelican brand, wanted to check it out here since gun store guys have given some questionable advice!
3) RE: 500 S&W ammo. Talking to some of the guys at shop about stopping power with a dangerous predator (bear) and the corbon 275 grain DPX (1665fps) which is a solid copper barnes bullet with a massive hollow got great reviews despite being a ligher and lower energy round. The other was Hornady 500 grain FP XTP (1425 fps) Wow! seems a lot more substantial. Bought some of each and and am going to shoot at some different mediums and see what happens. What factory 500 has the best stopping power in your opinion?
4) Formula for calculating muzzle energy? I'm going to have a look on google to see if I can answer this one myself.
Appreciated!
