I've never shot a bear, but I have shot a pile hogs with hand guns, and I have not had good luck at all with slow moving, large diameter, short bullets penetrating worth a damn.  I would go with 10mm and shoot a 180 or 200gr bullet....or better yet, 40 Super.

Been working with 3 of the coated Missouri bullets in the M&P,  215gr swc @ 1355fps,  225gr tc @ 1230fps,  and the 255gr swc @ 1170fps.

Have the speeds close to where I want and initial accuracy been promising. I can tell you that 255gr load is no slouch and would have no reservations carrying in on the river.

So would you consider a 200gr hardcast out of the .45 super at 1394 slow moving?

I carry the g40 most of the time.  Lately it's been so dusty that I've taken to carying  the g21 with 24# spring and lone wolf threaded barrel.   Cycles just fine with Buffalo bore 230 TMJ AMMO.
