[John Rogers]

Have a high powered rifle is great but that is a lot of steel to come to bear on a bear as seen on the Revenant movie as for me I would take a pair of those BFR pistols with the cylinder bored in 45-70 and having full bore hunting loads in the cylinder. I have shot a couple with both black powder loads and the heavy duty smokeless hunting rounds. The BP load was an easy two handed shooter BUT the smokeless load nearly sat me on my ass!!

I watched my late mentor Doug Knoell bore the cylinder in the one I shot as a test for him as his cancer had him pretty crippled up so no more range time for him. After 5 shots I could barely feel my fingers!
