My hunting buddy and I have decided to go after black bear this fall in the Adirondacks of NY. I'm taking my T/C Omega in .50, using 300 grain Hornady SST-ML's and 130 grains of Hogden's 777 powder, which is more than enough for blackies (or anything else in North America). My buddy is going to bring either his Omega, or his 1187 slug gun. My question is about my backup gun. It's a Dan Wesson .357 using handloaded 150 grain hard cast bullets and HS-7 for 1350fps. Is it enough for a 200-250 pound bruin? I've never hunted bear before and have heard a thousand conflicting stories about bear toughness.
Thanks, Jeff
