@WYO300RUM You did your part to get us to the 50 page mark. That’s what counts in these bear defense threads.😂

I hear ya on that. I would speculate that the head is moving up and down pretty fast as that bear is charging towards you. If the moment of truth ever comes I just hope it’s as easy as you say it is.

There’s an infinite number of scenarios that could play out in a bear attack. I can think of multiple scenarios that would make the high power rifle, shotgun, big bore revolver, or stout semi auto the better choice. I’ve never experienced a bear attack and I hope I never do. I feel that any...

Why do you assume the Glock guys are spraying and praying and mag dumping? Isn’t a bear with one 10mm through the brain just as dead as a bear with a 500 S&W through the brain? I have a 10mm (not an Glock) and a double action 454 Casull. Would feel just as comfortable with either. You get...

If I wasn’t left handed I would be all over that 25-06. I got the lefty Xbolt in 25-06. Wife has the lefty 7mm-08. Both are easy sub MOA with the wife’s more like 1/2 MOA. +1 vote for the MCarbo trigger springs.

They walk around like they own the place. They know they have more rights than I do. Definitely upper management.

I have guests stop by at work from time to time.

7828ssc is one of my favorite overlooked powders. It may be a little Temp sensitive. I use it in my 25-06 under the 90gr Absolute hammer bullets. It should do well under the Barnes.

Welcome to the forum. What caliber are you building?

Love the 25 caliber! Congrats to the hunter!

Still have a few one pounders of it.

Absolutely nothing.

As was mentioned Butte is a mining town with a lot of Irish decent. The drunk Irish miners have manage to keep a lot of the out of state leftist ideas out. Most other bigger Montana cities are not so lucky. Kalispell, Helena, Missoula, Bozeman have all gotten pretty bad. Billings isn’t terrible...

For any of you who are still wondering about the 6mm Arc in a gas gun, I stand corrected. The Arc has a larger case head then a 5.56. The bolt has to be machined out to fit the larger case head. The reduced material coupled with the higher bolt thrust from the larger surface area has broken the...

Was it Superformance ammo or Superformance powder in hand loads? Quigley257’s link in post 29 does an excellent job of explaining issues with Superformance in gas guns.
