  I think most people would suggest you not hot-load .44 Magnum rounds for the M29-2. They are superb guns, but were not designed for steady use of hot ammo. The more-recent Classic models are able to handle the higher pressures you might need.

  I would use a heavy bullet,and load within (saami) standards and that should be good medicine for black bear.
  
  
  Good Luck.
