You never know when you'll be sammiched between a bear and a moose and a mountain lion and a pack of wolves and a gator... just saying that would be a weird predicament.

Balsy move for sure. It didn't do nothing to a bear. A 25 wont go through 1/8 inch wood.On a door. I know I tried it and picked the bullet out. It sticks half way in. Other then that. A 25 is a man killer sometimes. too. Its so slow that it has a habit of going in and bouncing around , changing directions. and coming out somewhere completely else. I have a bullet book . And a case, where it goes in a guys eye , goes around in the skull, going down the neck and getting lost in the chest area. its funny bc the most lethal round is a 22lr for the exact same reasons. one they start bouncing around they shred everything in its path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
