FourtyonesixHow close would you have allowed before Ka-Boom
There's been a few unwounded bear charges I didn't shoot on at less than 5 or 6 yards, glad I didn't. Was able to vocally deter them. But a wounded bear charge is different....Luke did a great job in this video.

And a 458 Lott for charging bears!

Every year I hear stories about brownie sows being shot under DLP during a "preceived" charge at 15+ yards and just as many stories of where experience saved numerous bears that were bluff charging.
I was manuvering to get a look at a big boar the hunter shot and a sow came boiling out of the alders looking back,, she almost bowled me over and I screamed at her and she stood up and blew snot in my face and mouth. I killed a smokehouse bear here at the house at 2 AM at a reange of my 358 Norma flames into his throat!
