    "Testing" is how I learned that I needed a hitch extender for my UTV for it to work. It might be the 23 year army career, but I'm a huge fan of rehearsals before going live.

    35 Caliber bullets Vs. Bear

    That's: Reformed Graf's 308 Win brass: 180 Speer FP FED 215 52.9 TAC MV; 2561 FPS at 31F OAL of 2.6860. It's a JES Re-Bore with a pretty long throat, so these are magazine length. I've gone as high as 54.0 for pressure testing without an issue, so I may do round 2 of load development when it...

    35 Caliber bullets Vs. Bear

    Luckily I've got 25 rds loaded and a full box of 50. I plan on using my 350RM for a Bison hunt in Jan. In my 358Win I've had very good luck with the Speer 180 HotCor FPs on pigs. This one travelled the full length of a boar at 10' and ended up in the hind qtr. It shoots pretty well in my 19"...

    Rifles that Need to be Hunted (or loads developed for) in 2025

    I put this together a couple years ago for our annual deer drives, but I've yet to kill a deer with it. A Rem 7600 re-bored to 358 Win (was a .243Win) that I had the barrel chopped down to 19", sights remounted, added synthetic furniture, and Cerakoted in burnt bronze. It wears a Leupold 1.5-5X...

    One of the best pieces of advice I ever took, a loader solves a lot of problems, and turns 2-3 man jobs into 1 man jobs!

    I bought one a couple years ago for the same reason, comes in really handy when I travel to hunt. I bought a hitch extension so I can use it on my UTV also. Out back and on my neighbor's place I just rely on my Kubota:
