Great new article on the 44mag for bears in Bear Hunting Magazine.

I don't know how many of you get Bear Hunting Magazine, but I do.  This last issue had a nice article on using the 44mag for hunting bears.  I thought it was a nice read on a topic I especially like.

Typical gun/hunting rag crap, writing a commercial into a "news article". Worthless magazine!

Ah come on, quit beating around the bush and tell us what ya really think. 

But you are right that short blurp there wasn't an article it was more like an "infomercial". 

There might have been more in the hard copy of the magazine.

The blurp is a little teaser to get people interested in buying the magazine.  I've got a subscription and the magazine has several pages covering the topic.  Just throwing it out there in case someone was interested, kinda wish I hadn't now.

It was a very good article in my opinion....  I like the magazine and will keep subscribing to it.

Is this what you guys thing is a "good article"? If so you have got to be kidding.

Yes, The .44 Magnum is a Bear Buster
By Ed Hall
CorBon says: “Nothing made for the .44 Magnum tops the 305-grain Penetrator load for power and penetration against dangerous and hard to stop game. If you live or hang out where the game has big teeth and claws, load your .44 Magnum with the 305-grain Penetrators. This is serious medicine for dangerous critters. The 320-grain Hard-cast is a super hard lead bullet. It combines superb accuracy with deep penetration and a big time thump from its sharp edge flat point. There is no expansion with this load and is best selected when bone breaking power is needed.”
      Carroll Pilant, Media Relations Manager at Sierra Bullets, said, “Ed, that 300 grainer will punch through a bear head with no problem or will go through both shoulders. There have been some good sized hogs taken with it that went through the gristle plate and shoulders on both sides.”
      Not only is the .44 Magnum an ‘acceptable’ rifle cartridge for the black bear hunter, but it is easy to rate as one of the most practical, as it delivers assured abundant penetration and adequate punch from a lightweight rifle and yet has minimal recoil. Tough 300-grain bullets are up to the task when a really big bear’s shoulder gets in the way of a shot intended for the lungs, or a houndsman takes a head shot.

If a want to read a great .44 mag bear hunting story, then I look no further than JJHACK's stories.  I've read them several times, and I'll probably read through them again sometime.

If you received the Magazine you would get the full article, it is a 5 page article. No that is not the complete article.

I thought it was a Corbon add.   But really  "a bear buster round" ? Ain't my first choice.
