[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1216031, member: 75933"] couple suggestions.... -If you can load good rounds with nickel plated brass, do it. I can vouch for the possibility of lots of moisture and nickel can prevent casing problems. -If you load solid copper, tape the barrel to keep the bore and bullets dry. I've had a chambered round removed after only one day in central Alaska and the Barnes bullet was badly discolored from humidity and heat. If you're out for a few days that bullet could tarnish enough to cause issues. -Maybe use a primer sealer. I haven't had ignition problems, but why chance it? -Use premium bullets. I'm guessing this is an expensive hunt, so why not use a tried and true partition style bullet? No room for frills in the wilds of AK. [/QUOTE]
