For 150s I use Reloader 15, typically, but I've also used 748; that's across a few different rifles. I've not loaded 165s in 308 (odd, I know) but I don't see why it wouldn't work as it does for 180s.
I suppose it all boils down to what your priorities are for the load, since you might find a...
My understanding is that hunter ed from any state is acceptable. It took mine from many, many moons ago and my brother's from a different state.
As a side note, I found their Parks and Wildlife people very helpful and accommodating. I strongly suggest calling them before your hunt to clarify...
As was said, almost any of the above will do just fine. One thing to consider is the 200gr RN might be designed for lower velocity 35s, such as the 35 Rem. I'd need to look it up to be certain, but if so, driving it at Whelen velocities against a bear over bait at short ranges - shot one at...
There are a slew of companies which make aftemarket slide assemblies, so I would presume the frames will need to be redesigned to no longer be compatible with those third-party slides. This will have a downstream impact on the many, many companies which have been built over the years making and...
I shoot both the 180 an 250 in my Whelen. I've never shot game with the 180, and I expect that at Whelen velocities, I'd need to be very aware of distances to get good performance. The 250, on the other hand, kills very effectively.
