just got off phone w/ LYNN @ CORBON AMMO re: DEFENSIVE BEAR ROUNDS...........


and here's what he said after twisting his ear for quite some time TODAY. not some internet B.S.


1) you have (2) types of bear attacks. (1) YOU ARE ATTACKING THE BEAR and/or THE BEAR IS ATTACKING YOU! for info on YOU attacking the bear, go do some reading as i have and buy a .338 win mag, or a 45/70 or bigger and buy the correct OFFENSIVE RDs.


2) for defensive bear rounds in event of a sudden charge, 1st and foremost, the likelihood of YOU or ME, unstrapping a pistol, pulling the pistol, correctly aiming pistol, and firing pistol if it is a .454,.460,.480,.500 and shooting the bear and it dying, more than once, is about NIL! nada, nicht,ZIP. in other words the aforementioned spoons are TWO HANDED OFFENSIVE HUNTING SPOONS. so the damn bear grabs your left arm and is biting the hell out of you standing or on your back, and you get to grab this mega spoon and shoot to kill with (1) hand.


hmmmm thats sounds about as much fun as..................being eaten by a bear. now lynns advice was that since the recoil of these is ferocious on a good day under controlled 2 handed shooting.............its more than likely if not FER SURE, yer not gonna get a killing shot. and the BEST PART..............yer NOT GONNA GET A FOLLOW UP HAIL MARY SHOT EITHER as more than LIKELY the spoon will be on the trail behind you DUE TO MASSIVE RECOIL! and thats when, yer like so FEEKED its beyond comprehension.


oh boy we are having FUN NOW!


now why the hell is this? well because when people go into really big bear country what do they do with these big bores???? thats right they buy the biggest baddest most MONGO VAPORIZER ROUND ON THE PLANET w/the ensuent insane recoil. and after (1) 1/2 azzed worthless glancing blow shot if they hit him, they have now really pissed off mr bear or mrs bear or even baby bear. and its gonna GET UGLY FAST!



soooo...................with that yummy thought in mind heres what LYNN @CORBON uses. and if ANYONE has shot a HELL OF ALOT OF ROUNDS its lynn cuz he works there. and corbon has been around 27years.


a freeking 4" smith or ruger .44 mag. why 4"? because its easy to traverse and light. no massive recoil, you can single handed shoot the damn thing while yer arm is being GNAWED TO THE BONE and empty the sucker where it really hurts. ie. his eyes, his nose, his ears, his shoulder, his mouth and his nutz for good measure also!


also he stated that single actions are NOT the hot ticket due to obvious reasons as you will be fighting for YOUR LIFE shooting double action.


heres what corbon offers for .44 mags:

1) 320 gr(bullet) hardcast penetrator about 79.99 a box

2) 300 gr(bullet) flatpoint(meplat) penetrator about 50.91 a box


now obviously i was foaming at the mouth for a french bear to walk thru my hanger here so i could BLAST HIM! but that aint happening today. but i continued asking him about other calibers i have for offensive or defensive rounds for mr/mrs URSUS HORRIBLIS


45/70- to be shot ONLY in MODERN SPOONS- 350 BONDED CORE bullets

.338 win mag-250gr DPX hunter


so there ya have it. lynn stated it is very common for hollowpoints from any mfg. to mat up with fur and never exit the animal. what this does, is NOT ALLOW ANY BLOOD LOSS and as we all know..................we want a freeking BLOOD BATH/BLOOD FIESTA if some damn bear is eating me. and we want him to bleed out for tracking purposes also. but the bottomline is you want them to bleed like hell which disallows O2(in blood) from getting to brain and central nervous system so the prick cant continue his attack and make YOU or ME into lil trail bear poo-poo twinkies!



and thats another " how im gonna stay alive while the bear eats YOU" kind of story!
