Greetings,
I have decided that my 6" Model 28-2 will be riding in my holster during my upcoming elk hunt north of Dillon, CO. There is no specific planned use for this gun on the trip, it will just be fulfilling my personal policy of ALWAYS being armed while in the "hills". What should I load it with, noting that the potential threat matrix ranges from two-legged idiots through feral dogs, mountain lions and black bears?
Here are some of the choices I am considering:
Fed American Eagle 158 gr. JSP (cheap)
CCI Independence 158 gr. JSP (cheap)
Win/Rem UMC 158 LSWC (very old school)
Win/Rem/Fed 158 gr. JSP or JHP (traditional)
Speer 158 gr. Gold Dot JHP
Fed 158 gr. Fusion JHP
Rem 165 gr. Core-Lock JHP
Speer 170 gr. Gold Dot JSP
Rem/Fed 180 JHP (traditional)
Fed 180 gr. Cast Core LFP
Win 180 gr. Partition Gold
Buffalo Bore ???
Cor-Bon ???
Others???
Please comment.
Thanks,
Hunter
