Illegal to pack handguns here. If I'm in the bush other than during hunting season, I'm packing a 12 bore with 500gr. round balls loaded to 1,600fps - or a 9.3 + rifle. If I'm in the bush during hunting season, it's a 9.3 or .375.

With these, I've never felt undergunned, but overweighted at times.

I have a 4" M29 - always have, since 1973 - on my 3rd one - running 20gr. 296 and 300gr. Truncated cone commercial hard cast. Used sparingly, they cut each other at 25 yards. I might be out a gr. or 2 on the load - memory and all.

I just can't pack it legally except at the range.

Reading this rather pisses me off...here you are, in the bush hunting and minding your own business and some liberal morons in a city somewhere have decided you cant carry a handgun..WOW...

sorry, but just have a hard time dealing with the idiots running goverments whether in Canada, the USA or pretty much anywhere else..they do a hell of a job, which is why the US is 14 TRILLION in debt....

guess I got off topic a bit..

anyway..as to the model 29--pretty much use a similar load--like the 300 gr hard cast for hiking in Griz country...

thx
