I have diamond leather Alaskan cross chest holsters for both the glock 20 with an extra magazine and for the raging bull 454 with 5 extra rounds. I also have a speed loader for the 454, but not sure I would ever need it. My worse fear is coming across 4 or 5 large grizzly bears and making it out...

I have a Glock 20 10mm with a Lone Wolf Barrel and a Taurus Raging Bull 454 Casul with a 6.5 inch barrel. Over the last few years I have changed my projectile choices. For years I carried 300 gr Nosler Partitions in my 454 with a full house charge of H-110 or Lil Gun running them at 1700 fps...

My best kills on elk have been with the 300 gr Berger, I shoot the OTM though for a little tougher jacket. I get slightly different end results from my two 338 rums, one has a 9.3 twist Broughton and the other a 10 twist Bartlein. The Broughton barrel tends to have the bullet expand to close to...

Did you get my PM?

Between a buddy and myself, we could offer 8lbs of retumbo for 700 berger 215's. I am in Worland.

I have some retumbo, what are you thinking?

Depends what you are trying to do. The 338 will probably have better BC and retain more down range energy, but your statement is a little too generic. Compare specific bullets with specific velocity and then we can have a discussion.

My two cents having well over 50 elk kills under my belt, that bullet was not from a pass through on another elk! That bullet was likely to light of a bullet that hit the elk without enough velocity or energy to get the job done. I saw the same think happen from a friend with a 308 shooting...

I used to shoot 160 partitions in my 7 rem mag running 3150 before all the new powders came out. It was a good killer, but I wasn't impressed on big bears and abandoned it in favor of .338's.

Any photo's of wound channels and bullet performance? I have some 180 gr TTS that I might play with for my 300 rum this year, but not quite so excited right now as I didn't draw any limited quota tags, gen hunting it is.

Ok I will chime in, I grew up with my dad shooting a 338 win mag and I watched everything he shot collapse. I started out shooting a 3006, then a 7mm mag and after some bad experiences on big black bears, I also bought a 338 win mag. It was great until Remington came out with the 338 RUM, now I...

As an update to my 2020 hunt, the deer head is on the wall in my living room where I look at him each day. I went back to the same area again last year 2021 and fought my way up a trail that hasn't been cleared in a long time. Wildfires and dead falls made the trail a challenge as well as not...

I have two 338 rums both with 26 inch barrels and 3.825 wyatts extended magazines. I run 225 Nosler Accubonds with 97-98 grs of H-1000 or RL25. Rl 25 is a little faster, sometimes hitting 3300. For the heavy bullets I use RL33. 99grs with 300 gr Berger seated to 3.800 oal, same charge with 300...

I am pretty sure I have seen 300 gr Nosler accubonds for sale, they are an incredibly tough bullet though after hunting with them for a year, I went back to Berger and Hornady. I penetrated a cow elk from above the hindquarter all the way through the length of the back straps, out the top of the...

I am kind of wondering what your friend is after. I get heavy for caliber bullets, which is why I like 300 gr bullets in my 338 rum. But, one of the reasons I like them is because I can get very good velocity, 2850 with Berger and Nosler Accubond, 2940 with Hornady 285 eldm, and 3250 with Nosler...
