Ok, I got a Lipsey 44 Special for an investment. Since Ruger is coming out with a catalog item I can see my investment isn't.
So I'm going to use it. Probably as my woods gun.
As such, how powerful can I load it. Where I currently live my three biggest threats in the woods could be black bear, cougar and moose. I'm confident on the second, but what about moose? Can a 44 special handle a bull moose in rut or a cow moose with calf danger? How about a black bear sow with cubs?
Or should I stick with my 44 magnum Vaquero?
