RIPP: I have always found it odd that hounding bear is illegal there. Seems like it would be OK.

Daryl, funny you mention it...the first thing I did when I got home was to make two speedloader pouches and they are on the belt right now! Honestly, I do not know whether I'd have gotten the gun loaded regardless as my kid was on that bear as soon as he heard the "Click-Click".

After this affair, I became a bit obsessed with bullet testing, and now avoid hunting with a new bullet unless I test some and compare with others.
