Mr. 16 gauge,

I have several M29s and all like my 240 grain JHP bullets and a stout dose of 2400. Bears intruding on your slumber will be at hand shaking distance and 240 JHPs into the head will render them skins for stretching. I cast 245 grain .44 caliber hard cast SWC bullets and they would be my #2 choice with a stout dose of 2400 powder.

A .44 Magnum will kill bear. I would not sleep uneasy with my M29 under my pillow or next to the next stool in a privy when a griz had hostile intentions.

Adam
