Fascinating build, Dan.

Dan, you just stirred the sleeping beast. Now the enablers will get to work. I'd never do such a thing myself. You woud, however, benefit from owning a Mopdel 48. Just saying!:whistle:

You've had some good advice. I never shot over bait, but I've used all of these at one time or another on black bear from 35 Whelen, 358 Winchester, and 358 Norma Magnum. Blkram and Gerry have considerable experience with black bear, and I have shot a few myself. There are no bad choices in...

The WSM cartridges are not overly sensitive. I treat them as I would any longer cartridge.

Good to see that your move to OK has not had a negative impact on your photography, Guy. Love seeing the ornithological subjects.
