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 am ready to assemble my hunting loads now, having worked up the recipe last summer. Here is what I plan on loading: 375 H&H, 270 gr Barnes LRX at 2650 fps, 20" barrel, 1.5" groups (minute of brown bear).
Questions:
1) what do you think of my load selection?
2) anyone previously hunted or had knowledge of Justin Hortons group?
3) since I must be ready for extremely wet weather, do you guys use primer sealant on the primers?
4)if so, what sealer do you use? in the past I have used something called Old Roy's sealant which I think was nothing more than colored fingernail polish.
Feel free to PM me if you have advise you do not wish to post on an open forum
Thanks
