Grizzly 9mm +P 147gr Bonebreaker FP – Reliable Bear Defense Ammo

Description

The Grizzly 9mm +P 147gr Bonebreaker FP load, item GC9M+P2, is a 20 round box of 9mm Luger +P ammunition from Grizzly Cartridge Company, loaded with a 147 grain Bonebreaker flat point bullet rated at 1125 fps with 413 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Grizzly recommends it for hunting deer and bear.

Grizzly 9mm +P 147gr Bonebreaker FP Overview

This is the heaviest bullet in Grizzly’s 9mm Bonebreaker lineup. A 147 grain hard flat point is rated at 1125 fps at +P pressure. A bullet that is heavy for caliber carries more momentum and tends to penetrate deeper than a lighter, faster one of the same design, which is why many shooters favor 147 grain loads when the goal is reaching the vitals of a large animal. The flat nose also cuts a cleaner wound channel than a round nose would.

Bullet Design

Bonebreaker is Grizzly Cartridge’s name for its hard, non-expanding flat point bullet. A wide, flat meplat crushes and cuts tissue instead of simply pushing it aside, and because the bullet does not expand, it keeps driving in a straight line for deep penetration through muscle and bone. That is why loads like this are a common choice for protection against bears and other large animals, where reaching the vitals matters more than expansion.

Intended Use

Grizzly recommends this round for hunting deer and bear where handgun hunting with 9mm is legal. Check your state rules first, because some states set minimum calibers or energy levels for big game. Many backcountry hikers, hunters and anglers also choose a heavy flat point like this for a 9mm sidearm when they want penetration over expansion. Keep shots close and placement precise, since the 9mm has limited energy compared with magnum handgun calibers, and consider carrying bear spray as well.

Firearm Compatibility

This ammunition is made for handguns and pistol-caliber carbines chambered in 9mm Luger, also called 9x19mm Parabellum, such as the Glock 17, 19 and 43X, the SIG Sauer P365 and P320, the Smith and Wesson M&P 9 and Shield, the Springfield Hellcat and the Canik TP9 series. This is a +P load, loaded to a higher pressure than standard 9mm, so use it only in firearms whose maker approves +P ammunition.

Grizzly Cartridge Company

Grizzly Cartridge Company is an American ammunition maker known for heavy, hard-hitting loads for hunters, outdoorsmen and handgunners who carry in bear country, along with cowboy action, defense and safari ammunition. Its loads are made in the USA, and many are built to run at the upper end of what each cartridge allows, so always match the load to your firearm.

Recoil and Shootability

The 9mm is one of the easiest defensive calibers to shoot well, but +P loads like this one produce noticeably more muzzle flip, blast and flash than standard range ammunition. The difference is most obvious in small, lightweight carry pistols, so practice controlled pairs with the load you carry and confirm your pistol handles it reliably.

Practice and Testing

Fire at least a box through your own firearm before you rely on this load for hunting or protection. Confirm reliable feeding and extraction, and check where it prints at the distances you expect to shoot, since heavy or fast loads often hit to a different point than light practice ammunition.

Storage and Care

Store ammunition in a cool, dry place in its original box, away from solvents and lubricants that can contaminate primers. Inspect rounds for dents, loose bullets or corrosion before loading.
