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...
I have an AR 15 in 300 BO. I was able to develop some good subsonic loads for it with 220 gr jacketed bullets and H110 powder. Problem was when I put a suppressor on it it would not cycle reliably with the 220 gr BT's. That is why I am going to a bolt action rifle in 300 BO. Since all of the...
I guess great minds think alike! Lol. May have to drop to a 200 gr or even 180 gr to stabilize. I was hoping to use 220 gr BT’s but now understand they don’t stabilize in normal 308 twists. Only data I’ve seen for subs is with Trailboss. Maybe I can locate some. Yesterday I ordered a Ruger...
I will be experimenting with 308 Win , 220 gr subsonic loads. Right now the only pistol powders I have available are Longshot and H110. has anyone had success using either powder? If not , what other powders have you had success with?
Thanks

I have several pistols set up with red dots. By far my favorite is the Holosun 507X2 that allows you to choose a circle dot reticle. I find this much easier to pick up than a simple dot. All my future ones will have a circle dot option.
I have an unmodified Kar 98K WW2 rifle in 8x57. I have drilled and tapped it and put on a 3 post reticle scope to simulate what the German Snipers used. Not authentic, definitely faux, but as close as I could get. Have killed several deer and 2 coyotes with it. It is a sub 2” group rifle that I...
