My guide wanted me to shoot twice after the bear was down,he said "I don't like to follow wounded bears into the brush"

I have not seen any RL26 on the shelves in a long time,but lucky I have some. It is the best I have found in my 7RM(50 FPS faster than good old H870 which ran out 20years ago)

If you want to see bad odds try a sheep tag in Montana (runs about 0,23%)1 in 443

I use a 2k w generator because I have one for home use in case the power goes off. Living in the wilds of Montana that happens some times. The generator will run the pellet stove to heat the house. If the power is off too long I power the fridge during the day. So my generator covers two bases.

All you Aluminum hat wears should worry more about where you are going to get the ammo for your choice! I think you need to get some form of AR 223 and start buying large amounts of ammo and start stocking up! I know When Covid hit and I was house bound I reloaded every round I had stuff for and...

If you are only going to have one rifle to hunt with ,its hard to beat the 300WM. Probably find factory ammo on the shelve in remote village in Alaska & Africa!

I agree Western Mountaineering is about as good as you can do. One thing I packed was a light Bivy just in case, or it can lower the rating of your bag if it gets cold unexpectedly!

So its kinda a 6.5-08 (nice) bound to be better than a needmoor!

Did you notice what they were charging for Reloader powders!

Looks like most of the IMR powders are $60+ per pound. So back to my original question. Is there some reason they are more expensive.? Do they cost more to make or is it supply and demand?

Reloader does not cost more ,because you can't buy it, at least I have not seen any in a long time!

I made the rounds of the stores in Missoula,Mt Thurs. Most powders were running $35-$40 ,but IMR 4350 was about $60. I asked CoPilot and she had some excuses about consistency ,versatility & reputation!

In 2004 I drew a moose tag in Montana (area 20 miles from my home) Shot a 43" after 5 weeks of beating the brush! Have been applying for a sheep tag for over 50 years(have max points) still no luck!

Seems awful high! While back I bought 1000 Winchester Large Rifle on Gun Broker for $12.50 100 including Haz Mat!

I just did a test on my 6.5 RPM Loading 120 gr ELD-M with 61.5 4828 loaded 3 with 215M Federal and 3 with LR Winchester! (before anybody starts ragging on me for light loads let me say these are plinking loads I would not use these bullets on game) They ran 3166 to 3179 Avg 3174 could not tell...
