I use my Glock 21 with a Factory Glock 20 upper and This Doubletap Load. Shoots fine and no obvious leading but I do clean it with lead solvent if I shoot much but one I proved to myself it works I don't shoot it anymore. I've had the same two boxes of 50 rounds now for at least 7 years.

I can't find the thread but someone was telling me about some FMJ flat nose bullets that had a hard brass shell and would not deform like 'normal' FMJ. Anyone know what brand that is?

It's hard to beat the standard hard cast lead (alloy) flat point.
You need penetration more than anything. Well that's assuming your shot placement is spot on. I'd would feel A OK with Buffalo Bore, Underwood, Doubletap, or Grizzly. Buy enough for a confidence run. And don't dwell on little things. |

Most experts I have read, including those that have shot bears in self defense, recommend bear spray over a handgun. But, maybe it isnt practical for ya.
You may find this article from the Buffalo Bore guy interesting! Lots of good material there. https://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=108 Buffalo Bore is good and proven, Underwood as well. I intentionally avoid Double Tap because they seem to mislead on their velocity, or used to. Id use 200gr hardcast or make sure you test the 220gr well, lots of people with the G20 had the 220gr keyhole. If you dont want to use hardcast maybe use 200gr flat nose FMJ or the Underwood XTreme Penetrator. I use Underwood 200gr Flat nose FMJ in my Glock 40 while hog hunting, but I would feel equall6 safe with Buffalo Bore. If I were expressly concerned I would maybe get a good sling for my Mossberg and load 1 3/8 Brenneke Black Magic Magnum slugs in it, or buy a 500 S&W magnum with hardcast. Just my 2 cents :) |

I spoke with a guy that flies bush planes in Alaska and they are going with road flares instead of bear spray. They don't like fire and noise and flares have both. Then if that doesn't work, 10mm with a heavy bullet and lots of them.

You're golden, but bring a rifle too.

I keep my Glock 40 stoked with either Underwood or Buffalo Bore ammo when in bear country.

Did you het the 200gr or 220gr hardcast? Did it cycle fine with the stock spring? |
