I often carry a Freedom Arms 454 Casull (7 1/2 ") for bear protection. And I'm waffling between two Corbon loads. They are:
335 gr hard cast flat point @ 1600fps (1905 ft lbs)
360 gr FMJ flat point "penetrator" @ 1500 fps (1800 ft lbs)
Do you think either would be much better than the other for bears? I like the idea of the FMJ penetrator because I want to break as many things as possible w/ max penetration. But I also like the higher fps for the hard cast, but I'm not sure just how "hard" they are. ( I don't want expansion at the expense of penetration. )
Which do you think would give the most penetration?
Would there likely be any expansion / deformation to the hard cast ?
Thanx in advance for any info you can provide...........
