Anybody know what gun his mag would used in? Looks a lot bigger than 5.56-.223 to me.

Yeah I'm carrying the Rio Brenneke hard cast slugs, but I always think about how little time I'd have if I were loaded for ruffed grouse (2 3/4", 1 1/4oz, #6 bismuth at 1450fps) like I usually am when walking and a moose came out of the thicket. If I shot that at a charging moose it would probably just piss it off. I guess that's where a 10mm handgun in a holster would be useful. Thanks RCMP... Either way I'm definitely not getting a BAR any time soon because of the price so it's just wishful thinking. My next gun will probably be a lever action in .357 for fun plinking with the kids. The .22LRs are only so much fun you know? For now I'll keep carrying bear spray and hoping.

I hear ya, .357 is fun. Brother got a mares leg and replaced the short grip for a compact stock. Can load .38 special for it cheaper for plinking and +p bear loads when camping. Probably ban safe too and holds enough that it would give you a change in a predator scenario
