    300 win Mag 168 TSX

    I used the 168ttsx in my 300 RUM, excellent performance on multiple Alaskan big game. It’s a great hunting bullet

    Black Bear Attack

    I think if you look at the stats a black bear is more likely to have a predatory attack than a grizzly. While rare it does happen. We had a predatory bear attack in a 16 year old who was competing in a race here in anchorage a couple years ago. They are unpredictable. Any black bear...

    25-06 with 110 gr bullet question

    I’m loading the 125gr hammer hunter. I used the mid load Ed for Hornady 120gr as a starting load for the hammer. I’ve found that to usually be a good starting point for hammers. 56.5.gr of re25 showed slight ejector marks so I worked nsbk down a couple gr. The hammers don’t produce the...

    Black Bear Attack

    Bears go into hyper mode right before winter trying to stock up for hibernation. This can lead to unusual aggression for bears in poor physical health. We just had a father and son attacked locally a couple weeks ago. The 9 year old son is still undergoing surgery to repair facial...

    Alaska Glock 20

    I’ve seen 200 gr TMJ completely pass thru a 6’ black bear. In the neck shoulder junction and out the rear ham. I’ve had several Glock 20s she 40s. Currently have a 20SF WITH 5” barrel. I’ve been eyeballing the new Springfield XDM 4.5 10mm. It feels very good in the hand

    Speer Hotcore 350 gn for 45-70

    It is a tough bullet. Really good Alaskan bullet do the bigger 458s. I think it would be fine in the 45/70 ran hard. I run that bullet at 2760fps in my 458 Lott.

    Alaska Glock 20

    The 10mm penetrates pretty good for what it is. IIRC this was shot on ft rich while they were moose hunting.

    What have you taken Turkey with?

    I’ve only killed one turkey. I used a Mac cab over striper truck used for road marking. That turkey drove thru the grill like a lawn dart, taking out the radiator killing both the truck and the turkey.

    95 gr Ballistic tip or 100 gr Partition for deer out of the 243?

    I don’t think you can go wrong with either bullet. I shot all my deer with the 243 with 85 and 100gr Sierra gamekings. The vast majority with the 100gr.

    What have you taken bear with?

    Baiting is d a blast just to get to watch bears at close range for hours. Really a great way to learn beat behavior. I remember watching a brownie sow pick their a jumbo sized bag of skittles. I had sprinkled them around the bait. She picked they eating them by color. All the purple...

    The Great Bears - interesting

    I have been around a lot of big bears, been there at the harvest of several, tracked wounded bears thru thick river braid jungles, been charged a couple of times, but never killed one. I wouldn’t mind getting a nice griz/brownie but they are never my primary quarry. Usually a target of...

    Swarovski z5 3.5-18x44 BT

    I got the MOA turret today. I don’t know why every one of these scopes doesn’t come with one of these. This will make for the perfect hunting optic now. It just makes so much more sense to me than the multiple zero stops. Range it and dial it.
