Lee Jurras he gave me the data for a 175 grain bullet in a 1911 Government model 45 at 1450 fps. The 185 would do an easy 1400 fps. These were his loads in the original Super Vel ammo, not the stuff that is out today.
He and a couple of friends used those loads on Tennessee black bear successfully.

I don't know if I would want to try it on these North Carolina bears..and a note to Monsieur Boggs. You will notice that all these monster bears were taken by women.....

The largest bear I have taken was a bit over 350 lbs and those NC bears make mine look like a puppy.
