[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2721622, member: 12443"] Congratulations on the bear and the shot. The memories will remain with you always. I have one of Bruces 338 Big Baers built on an old Howard Wolfe 3 lug action. For many years it had been a 30x378. I just wanted it rebarreled, but Bruce talked me into the Big Baer. Actually, he had showed me the 338 difference years earlier when we met up at a hunting location. lol My barrel is a 34” 10 twist with no taper in a barrel block setup. Needless to say its a heavy gun, requiring a good shooting platform. My load is 137 gr. H50BMG with the 300 gr SMK. My velocity is very close to what you are getting @ 3250. Of coarse pretty much all Pa. long range hunting is done from fixed locations that are at least fairly accessible by vehicle. Id be curious as others might be also as to your shooting setup while your hunting long range with your gun? Gun weight? Bench? Tripod? Type of rest? Also type of optics your using for glassing?
