Probably most. Because they are not gun people. More likely, they just stop going places where there might be bears.

I’ve seen a large black bear (~500lbs) in pursuit of human discarded food run just out of range of a bear spray stream and come back when the spraying stopped. Finally, the sheriff resorted to rubber 12 gauge slugs which caused him to leave. No wonder he got so big! 😂 I don’t leave my house...

Well, you hiked an area with black bears for years, and “they are mean”. So did one ever attempt to attack you? I live in black bear country and have had probably over 100 of encounters with them. I even had to wire the exterior of my house with a high voltage system to keep them from...

Central nervous system- brain or spine.

Are they bow hunters? Or do you require a side arm for backup in the event their rifle fails?

“Not a huge believer of being in tune and nodes”??? Whoaaa! Then you must not belive in all science, religion, and black magic too!. 😂

For varmints, maybe pointless , but certainly not useless. Cartridges don’t make me roll my eyes, people do.

Yeah, makes sense. I normally do go back to the drawing board when a change like this comes along. An interesting aspect of this is that the advertised BC didn't change.

That's what I figured I'd have to do....Will test as suggested and post results. Thanks guys!

PS- this happened with Barnes TSX in 277 about 11 years ago just before deer season started and I had to load some rounds. Last minute changes like that are no fun.

Old thread, but now a new variation has arrived that I'd like to understand how to deal with before running experiments. I haven't needed to buy any for a few years but just bought another few boxes. Berger has changed the base to ogive on their 135gr 6.5 VLD Classic Hunters from .708 to...

Does anyone here actually NOT reload? To me, hunting with factory ammo would be like hunting with someone else’s rifle.

Start annealing asap! It was the #1 thing in improving my ES/SDs. It’s reassuring when the resistance of seating a bullet is light and consistent. I started annealing 1:3 firings, but tests showed me that ES begins to increase by then. So now i just anneal after every firing.

Most Youtubers are into developing a following on their channel, and raising the number of views of each video so they have to keep coming out with new videos to keep viewer and subscriber engagement. Doesn’t matter whether it’s photography or firearms. If this guy is a lawyer, then I have to...

They dont want to risk not getting sent free products by manufacturers if they do a negative review. I watched many of backfire’s videos and some have provided some good insights/observations. How do I know that? Because we’ve already discussed these things on LRH or other sites extensively and...
