Congrats! A couple of nice looking animals and firearms you have there. Enjoy the bear sausage!

Congrats on a great bear. A 45-70 is near the top of my bucket list of future cartridges.

Beautiful country. Have you made plans to return yet?

I like to work in batches of 50 as well for hunting loads.

Bret, I found a few things interesting in this article. Good luck with your build! http://www.longrangehunting.com/article ... ge-rig.php

Congrats Jake! You'll be busy this fall.

You created a monster alright. I think Sue shoots better than I can.

Congrats, looks like a memorable experience

Sorry, I can't talk you out of it. I have one and love it. Factory ammo is expensive, its the reason I started reloading. Ya the brass is more spendy than some more common calibers but the smile it puts on my face is worth it. A 110g Accubond @ 3475 fps is euphoric.

Congrats! I'm eagerly awaiting reading about your hunt. I need to do a spring hunt sometime!

It doesn't matter where you zero your rifle as long as you know what its trajectory is through practice. Some say 3" high is no big deal, I prefer 2" so my rifles are zeroed with no more than 2" of rise and I know my hold over at ranges beyond zero. Do what YOU are most comfortable with, YOU are...

Nice score!

Nice shooting. A new Tikka is near the top of my bucket list of new rifles.

My .270 WSM spits out 130 AB into 1/2" groups. I've never felt the need to look for a different bullet. If I were to take it hunting for something elk sized or larger I might look to a 150 g or larger bullet. For now though I will keep piling up deer with it.

Wishing you a safe and successful hunt Jake.

Congrats on a successful season!

Any will work as long as a good shot is made. I've witnessed 2 black bears eat 180g slugs from a 30-06 and were never found due to poor shot placement. Use whatever bullet makes you most confident and ultimately take a good shot. Too many people think a "premium" bullet allows them to take...
