    Krieger in 28 Nosler

    What's the outer diameter of the threaded tenon? And the shoulder/shank diameter at the chamber, adjacent to the threaded tenon?

    Alaska Grizzly Bullet Choice

    You may maintain and care for your semi-auto pistols better than the average hunter. You may know more about matching ammo to a specific pistol. Sounds like you certainly know more about the importance of vetting ammo to a pistol, compared to the average user. Firearms in the field are exposed...

    Alaska Grizzly Bullet Choice

    According to some Glock folk in this Thread, the semi-auto Glocks primarily fail to function because of bad or faulty ammo. Which was, and is, my point on the primary difference in reliability between "semi-auto anythings" versus revolvers, pump actions, or bolt actions. Semi-autos are...

    Alaska Grizzly Bullet Choice

    My Glock F to F wasn't an ammo problem. So the Glock that failed me must have been 1 out of 11. Reliable semi-auto function is totally dependent on the ammo being fired. The ammo cycles the action. Revolvers fire any ammo equally reliably, from light-powered ammo to full-powered bear loads...

    Try cuddling up to one with cubs, and you'll likely promote your pulling.

    Alaska Grizzly Bullet Choice

    Yes. Not on a bear. On piece of cardboard. Failure to fire. A Glock. I've never carried a semi-auto pistol for bear protection. Never would except as the last resort. I don't trust semi-auto anythings for bear protection. Know a guy that had a Remington semi-auto 30-06 jam after his...

    Alaska Grizzly Bullet Choice

    I'd just as soon pick a rock up off the ground and launch it in defense against a big boar, as pack around a 10mm semi-auto. Save myself lugging around a useless 10mm.

    I found a picture of the carcass of the brown bear killed April 21, 2002. He was covered with fat from nose to tail. ~3" layer covering the ribcage. On the other hand, some spring brown bear come out of hibernation with no remaining fat reserve. This one killed the first week of May, 2023...

    Alaska Grizzly Bullet Choice

    I shot a 10' 5" brown bear on Kodiak Island April, 2002. It had a minimum of 3" fat layer covering its entire rib cage. 4" in some areas. Then last spring early in May 2023, I shot a 10' 1/2" boar on Kodiak Island, and it had no measurable fat over its rib cage. So... some early spring bears...

    Bear country: Bear spray vs Firearms (video)

    Kill the bear with a firearm. Use the can of bear spray, if you've purchased one, for target practice.

    Nitride a barrel?

    Ultimately, I think it's not worth the expense, inconvenience, and possibility of receiving a faulty treatment process, having nitride treated a few barrels. It can change headspace, and it eliminates any future rechambering on the hardened nitrided barrel. I had one nitride barrel firecrack...

    Neck tension

    Too much theory in each and every neck tension Thread over the years on this Forum for me. I gave up trying to understand the what, where, how, and why. I conclude neck tension affects MV, ES/SD, and precision. My contribution to this Thread..., I've found pin gauges make excellent neck...
