Grizzly Bear Defense

[Malamute]

The Underwood 200 HC exhibited poor accuracy, as in 6-8” groups at 25 yards, and had two split cases. They promptly exchanged the ammo for 140 penetrators at my request.

The Grizzly Cartridge experience has been awful. I ordered a 200 round case of 200 WFNGC (the key here being the G and C for “Gas Check”). This load would lead up the barrel with only 4-5 shots. Out of 10 shots- 2-3 would be in the black of a B8, 3-4 scattered all over the 8 and 7 rings, and 2-3 not even on paper. I finally noticed bullets keyholing and some hitting completely sideways. I decided to pull a few bullets. No gas checks on the bullets. Multiple calls and emails to Grizzly have gone unanswered. Attachment 106981

Thats rather discouraging.

George tried various loads in a half dozen or so G 10mms and had less then encouraging reliability results.

So far my Gen 4 G20 has been nothing but reliable. Ammo problems yes, but it feeds, fires, extracts, and ejects everything I’ve put through it. At least 300 rounds of the “heavy stuff” and 500-600 regular 10mm loads.

Bear viewing bears are close to humans daily. It would take chewing on someone before bullets would fly.

Wow, really beautiful bears. But I would not do that.

Yikes! Correct me if I’m wrong but if one of those cubs makes the wrong noise or gets startled Mama is opening a can of whip ass.

I'm always amazed at the seemingly endless supply of people that want to be the next Tim Treadwell. That old saying about fortuitous outcomes keeps coming to mind.

To me, this is similar to getting bolted in a carbon fiber tube to visit the ocean depths. It might end well, but then again it might not.

.... And then, it's the bear's fault....

The people in that video are incredibly irresponsible and disrespectful.

Personally, I am not a fan of "bear viewing," but exactly that sort of activity happens with dozens of groups every day in the summer on the Katmai coast of Alaska.
