[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1283154, member: 30671"] Not really a bad draw in the bunch. I fill in all the choices. Some good bulls around Springdale also. If you should draw let me know, not much for packing out-but be glad to help you locate the right one. My 6mm is the Remington as well, other than brass availability it's still the top of the heap in my opinion. I have enough brass to wear a couple out if need be. I just checked Berger, and Hammer-and to take advantage of the heavier weights, Berger indicates 1-7" for the 115, Hammer a 1-7.25" for a 101 all copper. It can all be made to work, but that point of diminishing returns effects all aspects of it. Making it work is different than ideal. Ideal in my mind starts at .30 caliber, and 200 grains. With the steep angles the berry patches often present, its easy to make a slight mistake. Extra points for big exit holes in recovering bears. Now you're back, you're in a good spot to take advantage of the early bear season. Bears may wake up wondering where every one else went while they slept. [/QUOTE]
