Live in Alaska and hunting lots of game!!! Rule of thumb in Alaska is 30 caliber and bigger!!! Lots of big animals up here, and you could have a run in with a Grizz or brown bear and I would rather be over gunned than under gunned!!! 6.5 Creedmoor is a great round, just for certain animals in my...

Love my 300RUM, but it's all a preference!!!

Live in Fairbanks, Alaska. Caliber choice for me would be 30 caliber and up. Shot my first moose at 240 yards with 1 round from my custom 300 RUM with 200 grain AB . It's all about shot placement. Just my 2 cents.

Got a n email from Hornady and was told that that the 162 ELD-X bullets are gonna start be available in about 4 to 6 weeks. Kind of a bummer, looks like I'll be waiting!!!

Has anybody tried the 162 grain ELD-X 7mm bullets... Live up in Alaska and have seen the Match bullets but no X hunting bullets. Would really like to try them. Thanks for any replies or info on who has some.

Have Remington LR in 7 mm and the first thing I did was change the stock trigger with Timney. Makes a world of difference....

Out of your choices, I would go with the 300 WM. Lots of options.

Remington 700 LR is hard to beat for the price, I bought one in 7mm and all I've done to it is install a Timney trigger and put a Vortex PST scope on it. Shoots great, figure I'll burn the stock barrel out and then replace.

300 RUM Stiller Action Wyatts Mag B&C Medalist stock Harris Bipod Holland Brake 200 AB, 91.5 grains of Retumbo,CCI250,RP brass, COAL 3.781 5-shot group 200 yards size of a dime.

Live in Alaska, I'll start out saying I haven't shot any big game animals with a Berger bullet. Now I will say I've loaded them in my 300 RUM custom Rifle and they shoot extremely nice on paper and steel. For me I stick with the trusty old 200 grain Accubond out of it for big game hunting. This...

Thanks, I'll just start from the middle point and go from there.

ShortMag Thanks for the reply, I'm currently shooting the 175 ABLR's in my 7mm with RL22 and it shoots great, I'm just having problems with the RL22 being temperature sensitive. And IMR is talking up IMR7977, so I was thinking of trying it out. Are most guys using the Nosler reloading for...

Short mag , quick question what grain ABLR bullet are you shooting with your 7mm. I'm curious cause I'm shooting a 175 ABLR out of mine and it shoots great withRL22. But I'm thinking it might be to temperature sensitive up here in Alaska. And it's nice to have another option of powder on hand...

Rain gear is a must, dress in layers and you should be fine. I would also bring a pistol( 44 or bigger).. Remember to have fun and enjoy the scenery!!!!! I don't remember seeing what caliber rifle your bringing up, but I would stick with a 30 caliber or bigger. Not a must, but if the grizzly or...

Your 8mm Magnum will drop anything up here. Unless your wanting to buy a new rifle, then I would suggest 30 caliber and bigger.
