A .45 what? Colt? ACP?

A 300 or 320 gr hardcast bullet at about 1000 fps in .45 Colt would be good for close range bear defense and would probably shoot from end to end on a cougar.

An ACP loaded with +P defense loads would work okay on the big kitty, but I wouldn't even consider an ACP for bears.
