I am running the 156 EOL at 3153 FPS. I have shot 2 elk with them, 1 at 150ish yards the other at 430 yards. both were quick clean kills. So far I am happy with this bullet.

How many primers do you want for the powder?

Thanks everyone I found some locally

Cold Bay Ak in May. I suposed to go last year but Alaska shut down the spring bear season just before my hunt.

What you are describing is the Joule-Thomoson efect. Compressed gas will cool when when there is a pressure drop, in this case a drop from the casister to atmosperic pressure. That being said the warmer the canister the warmer it is through the gas valve. Fortunately I not ever missed a meal...

Top 3 packs for mountain hunting and packing out heavy loads of meat are Kifaru, EXO and Stone Glacier. Barneys packs are awesome for hauling heavy loads but for an overall mountain pack I put the first 3 I mentioned as a better choice. Mystery Ranch would come in after those packs in my opinion...

I think both brands of packs you are looking at are great choices. I have used many packs in the back country over the years. Currently using a Kifaru. The thing I would consider is getting a slightly bigger bag. The bags are pretty ligh these days and when hunting deer I carry my deer out plus...

I give my 2 cents here knowing that is all it is worth. It is a good idea to share items to reduce weight which is something I regularly practice. However I like to have my own stove. There a few reasons for this but mostly I just like having my own. It is sure nice to have my stove if I am...

Did you by chance recover the bullet or was is a pass through? I am going in May and still deciding between the A-Frame or the Partition.

I am looking for 375 Ruger brass. If anyone has some please let know. I going Brown Bear hunting in a few months and I am starting to feel desperate. New brass or once fired is fine, I'll take what I can get. if interested I could trade 45 auto ammo. Thank You in advance.

I bought a Weatherby Accumak last year. The first one for me. I really bought it because they moved to Wyoming and I wanted one the first year here. It was several months before I actually took it out and shot it. I. Glad I finally did. Tried 2 different factory loads and both were under 1/2...

I don't use anything except proper care of my firearm. I have been fortunate with this so far. My rifle has been on numerous backpacking hunts as well taken to Alaska, Canada and Africa.

Thank you 257WTBY.

I just bought the ruger alskan in 375 ruger. I like it and I will be taking it to alaska in may.

I'm going to Cold Bay for Brown Bear in May. I bought a ruger hawkeye alaskan in .375 Ruger. Topped with a Leupold 2x10 HD5. Still figuring out what bullet I want to use but so far I'm lean towards 300 gn partition.
