Do you feel that this ammo would be a good choice to carry when hiking in the mountains/woods?

Question

Accepted Answer

Hi Walter! The 45 ACP could indeed kill America's largest game, but it's not the cartridge I'd want for defense against large bears, mountain lions, or belligerant moose or hogs. You'd want a hard cast bullet – and one incapable of expansion – so that you could inflict the deepest possible wound channel (thereby maximizing your chance of striking a vital organ). Look into Federal Solid Core, if you're able. If I could only recommend one round for dangerous game defense that we currently have in stock, it'd have to be this +P (i.e. extra powerful, and only suitable for firearms rated to handle its extra pressure) Xtreme Penetrator ammo by Underwood: https://www.luckygunner.com/45-acp-200-grain-p-xtreme-penetrator-underwood-20-rounds
