    Bullet Identification

    I bought a batch of assorted pull down bullets last week and got 7 of these strange bullets I cannot identify. They are .277 diameter, 113 gr weight, no visible hollow point and 3 grooves, obviously an all copper bullet. I was thinking this might be intended for a 6.8 SPC or 277 Fury but that is...

    Already done. I have Leupold QD’s and have a spare ZEISS 2x7 already sighted in as a spare. I keep checking my QD’s after every shooting session or hunt and they have been rock solid

    Regarding the rain gear, I have a brand new set of Sitka rain gear as well as a rubberized overcoat to help. Don’t mind some hardship but at 63 don’t want to be wet and cold for 10 straight days!

    LRX is the fastest expanding bullet in the Barnes line. I do have a couple boxes of Swift A Frames in 250, 275 and 300 grain as well as 260 and 300 gr Nosler P’s. I have considered them all and I might be over analyzing this which I tend to do sometime being an engineer! lol! Probably would be...

    I am interested in a little advice/opinions from our esteemed members. I am planning an Alaskan Brown bear hunt in May of 2024. I will be hunting with Justin Horton's group and he has advised me to be ready for lots of rain. We will have a 10 day hunt on the edge of Ursa Bay from a tented camp...
