Title: buffalo bore 147 grain (update)
Post by: beagleye on October 24, 2018, 11:12:45 PM: Hello Folks!

I shot a box of the Buffalo Bore 147 grain Outdoorsman thru my RAMI. No problem cycling. Accurate. Recoil was totally fine.

Only thing is if you need to eject a live round, they are sort of stuck in there. You have to really snap the slide to dislodge it. I guess the big slugs get a little engagement in the throat.

When new, it was not liking standard pressure 147 (my preferred SD) so it went back to the factory and they made it right. I guess I would recommend ensuring it swallows std 147gr first, before trying the Buffalo load.

Know your bear sign by its scat. Black bear poop will have a mix of fur, berries, grass, etc. Grizzly bear poop will sometimes contain little jingle bells, whistles and smell like pepper spray. :)

I don't have any experience either shooting animals defensively or using spray. I do have a lot of experience with mothers, and my first reaction is I am not sure I trust pepper spray against a mother bear. I have read conflicting things on this subject. I am open to new information.

I will add to the conversation that Wifey does carry bear spray when we walk together.

Bear specific spray will do way more than a 9mm would. For black bear you start at .357mag and work your way up. Shoot at the chest because unless you hit them in the eye your bullet has a very good chance to ricochet off the skull. Yes they are that tough.
