Of course you don’t need a big bore to hunt Moose/Big Bears but if your hunting where the unexpected does happen or you loose your in a boat accident, the 375 is King. Elkman said it right, when hunting is some remote areas, there’s always 375 HH or 338 WM ammo. It’s hard to beat the 375.
If you have the expertise to hand load I would definitely include all gas guns and anything in between. The more you shoot the better you will be with at weapon.
I try not to let bargains slip away and have learned that prices always go up. Met a guy at a gun show he had an Uzi 9mm with mags and case. Wanted $400 for the Uzi. That was the one.
I bought Larry’s die almost 18yrs ago for my 340Wby. After about 7 loadings my brass wouldn’t chamber. Read about his sizing die and ordered one. It sizes right above the belt. Now I can expect at least 12+ firing's from the brass. Works on all belted cases that are based off the 300 HH mag.
That .41 Remington Mag is a great cartridge has less recoil that the .44 mag, H110 is the powder to use with hard cast/gas checks. Use to melt wheel weights when you couldn’t find hard cast bullets. It kills with authority on hogs and deer.
Nice bunch of squirrels. Nothing like squirrel stew with potatoes, onions and carrots. Around here we have brown and grays but the grays tear up the lawn and planters like crazy.
I don’t care if it’s a high fence kill on 4200 acres or killed inside his crew cab, if the hunter wants to do it that way who gives a crap. I don’t shoot Hammer bullets and don’t have an interest in them. All these negative comments sound like a bunch of unhappy women WOW. It’s a great trophy...
Well, I would pass on any elk in hot weather miles out, elk meat is too precious to let spoil. I usually have horses or a couple of strong backs hunting with me. In snow country it’s a lot easier to skid it out with heavy sheet of plastic and rope.
It’s hard to beat a .338 caliber elk rifle, it flat out knocks them down even with a marginal liver shot. I use the 340wby a lot and have used the 338Edge all great elk killers.
I friend of mine worked in AK in the 70’s, met some old sourdoughs and said that they all carried either 12ga or a 4570 while in the back country. I read a newspaper story about a young Eskimo boy that got chased by brown bear and all he had was a .22 pistol and fired over his shoulder while...
