Fair point. I just don't see the need for the FMJ. I'm surprised you haven't had a jam in 1500 rounds though. Wouldn't be my first choice for a bear defense gun but to each their own.

Perhaps not a pissed off Bull Elephant, but anything else and she will do...

A lot of focus on recoil here,,,keep in mind bears are super fast,,most likely to get one shot,,so recovering from recoil may not be as important as one might think.
I myself carry a 45/70 and thanks to Remmy Jim, I am driving a 420g hardcast at 2000fps,,,it will work

Re: Grizzly backup 45/70 or 12 gauge
I have tons of backup, but something tells me that the first defense best option is some good bear spray. Unless i have a bullet sitting in the chamber with the saftey off which i dont often do
