Yes, a .357 will kill a bear easily.

I used a DW 15-2 with the 8" barrel with a home rolled
180 grain FNHC bullet. Shot right behind the shoulder with a clean pass thru. I've done it with a G2 with a 12" barrel in .357 Maximum.
My prefered hand gun now is the .41 GNR with a 225 grain hard cast.

It will do its job if you do your part.

So,.. Black Bears and 357 mags... - Gus S, 2018-11-27, 07:33
