    What will be your cartridge/rifle of choice for this fall? Second?

    Well said Guy. Too many rifles, not enough animals here personally. I had been hoping to take the .308 Bergara into the mountains this spring for black bear but my L5/S1 disc finally decided to give up the ghost so that put me down hard for a couple months. Oh well. Stumbled into a great...

    Worrisome News for Reloading

    Well that's disheartening. Was really hoping for a price reduction in the coming months. Passed on 8lbs of IMR4350 locally the other day @$425. Maybe should've jumped.

    Wet Weather/Alaska/Brown Bear hunters

    50-100yds. All the guides I know usually don't want to be shooting any further than that.

    Nosler 2024 Bullet Wish List

    I won't continue the bashing but will just agree with what others have said regarding availability and pricing of components. Since Nosler finally did a run of .308 200gr Accubonds a few months back I now have enough of their bullets in all practical calibers on the shelf to load and hunt...

    Failure to trim?

    Uh-oh. That's a shame.

    New Barrel Project

    Yup, I'd call that load developed. Strong work.

    Kimber 338 Federal

    Very excellent. I really love the hot cors personally. I've taken to working a load with them in most of my rifles. An inexpensive and accurate bullet that I can practice with all off season and not worry about if I don't get re-zeroed with the "premiums" for a hunt on a whim. Just grab and go...

    Case trimmer

    I still use the Lyman universal trimmer. Not fancy and very tedious, spent a few hours behind it last weekend, but I get consistent results. I only trim every 3rd firing after the 1st though so the tedium is reduced. This past weekend was just a perfect storm of a very large batch, about 600...

    Garmin Chronograph

    I'll definitely be making the switch. I've just used the magnetospeed for years during load development. Have always wanted something to take to the range to shoot over and gather larger data sets but didn't want to deal with the setup on other options. I never shot with the magnetospeed at the...

    375 H&H Mag 260 gr E-Tip

    Amazed it didn't exit. Would expect that one to keep going. Perfect performance though. Good catch and nice buck.

    Rifle scopes

    Almost exclusively leupold though just ordered a 3-12 maven I'm excited to try out.

    Base layers

    All merino under layers for me. I overheat easily and it seems to have a temperature regulation property to it.

    Awesome

    Kimber 338 Federal

    That first 200gr Speer load looks ready to rock to me. Should be a hammer on deer for you.

    2023 Hunting Season

    Was lucky enough this past week and a half to accompany a couple friends on a very hard to draw Bison hunt tag(s) here in AK in the Delta Junction area. They pretty well won the lottery when they party applied for the hunt and subsequently both drew. Scouted the area for a couple days prior to...
