I believe that will get it done Sir, I have loaded that bullet for over 5 years to 1050 fps in 45 ACP +P with Longshot, 1300 fps with 800X powder in all steel 5 inch 1911 45 Super.

Woods carry around here for black bear, mountain lion, wild hogs and the enamel lacking, smooth mouthed mountain cookers while archery hunting whitetails, hope I never need them!

Here it’s Grizzly and Black Bear Defense. Over the years I have progressed from 44 Mag to 10mm to 45 Super +P as my sidearm while fishing and camping. I was covered up with Grizzly Sows and Cubs last moose season I packed up camp and left only after 2 days of hunting moose.
I wish they still made 800X excellent powder in 45 Super. Longshot and Power Pistol is what I use today excellent results also.
200gr Lehigh pent very excited to use this bullet coming from the 250/255 weight I normally use in 45 Super. Close to 1300 fps should be a good performer on Bear !
