I downed a smaller spring black bear last week, was probably 175 lbs. 40 yd shot. Bear was facing about 10:00 eating in some tall grass along a river bank. As she pulled a clump of grass, she raised her head, and I took a upper chest/neck shot. 200 gr E-tip from my 338 Federal and down she...

Here are mine
Savage 6.5-284 Norma with a Leupold 4.5-14 CDS. Rattle can camo job (comes right off with acetone). Accu-trigger and stock. Shoots 140 CC really well and will work up a 140 PT load (just bought a bunch from SPS today).
Sako Finnlight 6.5 Swede topped with a 2.5-8 x 36 Lepold-...
Seems like a step below the Whelen and maybe a slice below the 338 Federal. If I didn't have a Sako 338 Fed arriving later this week, I would be more likely to jump on it.

Over on the Campfire there is a Remington Classic in 8x57 for sale. I have been messaging the guy and why I think it sounds like a cool caliber to play with, I just can not pull the trigger
$500 shipped with dies seems like a pretty fair price. I have no affiliation with the seller, but sounds...
Enablers......swinging through Bend next week. SPS has 257 bee brass in the seconds and 100 gr BT bullets. Ordered them and will pick up Tuesday.
Local FFL has V2 in 257 blued for $526 out the door.
My birthday is coming up. Buying ones own gift is always the best.
All this vanguard talk.....I was looking at a V2 in 257 bee. For some reason it is calling me. Just bought dies because I saw them for sale and fore shadowing the future ?
Someday soon....will need to try one myself
My 22-250's like 55 gr bullets. I tried some 50 gr BT but the 55 gr shoot better
Will the Varmageon shoot any different than the BT? I have long used Sierra Biltzking with good results.
Headed through Bend next week and planning to stop by SPS. Hope there is NO 280 AI TGR in the shop!!!
Thanks. My rifle is a savage weather warrior. I have a large supply of 123 & 140 custom comp. They both seem to shoot well. Yesterday, I shot some 140 CC with a full load of imr-4381 and got nice groups. The ballistics of the 140 is impressive. Will take the rifle cougar hunting next week.

Those 375 220 FP Hornady are very hard to find. Hornady batches them and it is between batches. I have some, not willing to pay scalpers price, but if you see some, let me know
