I buy the best cases I can find and weigh them after I check length and primer pockets and I weigh everyone and out of 10 there will be at least one that I reject, light or heavy its gone. I don't care what the brand or how much you spend I find discrepancies and they go in the 0file. The only...

I've hunted and stomped the bush in Alaska for more than 50 years and never carried anything other than the venerable .375 H&H. Most of the ole boys I hunted with carried the same. I bought a .300WM in the early 60's soon after it came out and loved it and still shoot it. It will do the job on...

..also make sure your die is very clean where it contacts the bullet. I clean and lube with moly on a q tip. Brass, lead, copper, ss and steel are all sticky to some degree. As sedan cowboy said rotating cartridge and seating in two or even three stages keeps things straight for me. good luck

From 175 gr. sniper rounds to 150s for deer it is one of the greatest rounds ever developed. I have killed moose/bison/elk with 180s, deer/black bear/caribou with 168/150s. Close in shots, you mentioned, I would go with the 150/168s with all the confidence in the world, what ever your rifle...

Great posts and for an old man I learned a few things and that doesn't happen that much any more. Nice to know I'm not the only fool out there that has made an *** of my self and wasted time and $$s.

"I think" you should not talk about weight when you are talking about a 4lb. revolver + ammo + holster along with a light rifle 61/2 lbs.? with a buggy whip barrel vs a real rifle, 300wm minimum, @ 8-9 lbs. 50+ years living and hunting in Alaska my .375 H&H is my go to, if any thought of bear is...

A big 10roger on that statement! Over 50 for me, but what the hey.

A filter/isolation xfmr?

The RCBS beam scale, or other beam type, is the only way to go "my opinion of course" along with a good powder trickle and you will have a great start. I have several digital scales and I do not use them to measure powder. They are not that accurate, to what I need, I can't trust them and...

Cold, wet, windy & expensive, enjoy the adventure & the kill, I'm sure you will.

Good for you! Nunivak or main land?

I've hunted over bait a lot of years and it works but you never know what critter will come in, they all like it. In some areas and times of the year baiting can get you in trouble with the law. I hope you kill him twice, once for your dog and once for you.

Yeah, he will come back, it's his territory! Depends on fencing, terrain and other variables about a week is a circuit for a lot of critters.

I would rather pile them in the driveway and burn them all rather than think they went to anyone that wouldn't appreciate them. My wife knows she could sell them if she needed the money, she won't. Giving them to the right person now and having one say "Yeah, I killed a deer with your old .270...

Kelly running and winning in Arizona would be a blow to Arizona "My Home" and the Senate for anyone that hunts and shoots. We need to participate and stop his anti 2A rants.
