Nice bear and thanks for the info. Unfortunately I think our trip got postponed until next year.

Planning on going to Maine this year for an archery bear hunt. I am interested in North Country Lodge and was wondering if anyone has been there or heard anything about their hunts.

Cool, thanks

Good idea, what sites do you use?

Thanks for the info. I will probably just use it for warm weather range time and stick to the H1000 for hunting and cold weather shooting.

Did you have more trouble in warm or cold weather or just trouble using the same load in varying temps?

I have been using H1000 and like it but I am down to 2.5lbs of it and as you guys know that doesn't take long to burn up in an Edge. I came across the US 869 for $20/lb so I bought 4lbs of it so I would at least have something to shoot in my Edge even though it wasn't the ideal powder. I would...

Just got ahold of 4lbs of US 869 and I'm trying to get some load data for it and the 300 smk. I have seen loads as high as 108 grs posted online, does that seem right? What would you guys suggest starting at and where did most of you start seeing pressure signs? How did velocity and accuracy...

Would you guys be as confident in the 300 SMK? I have around 400 of those and only 20 OTMs left. I also did a little more tweaking on some loads today and shot a 3 shot group the size of a quarter @300 yds with one of the SMK loads.

Shots will very likely be 350yds or under.

Glad to hear several of you guys have confidence in the OTM because I really didn't want to buy more bullets or develop another load. What are the OTMs like in comparison to a 300 SMK as far as hunting goes? I have both and my gun shoots both equally well.

I am wanting to try some loads for 225gr TTSX bullets in my 338 Edge. Does anyone have any load data for this combination using H1000, or RL22?

Ok so the Berger is out now I need to decide whether to go with Accubonds or a TTSX and what weight. I will also need load data because all I have shot are 300gr OTM or SMK. What do you guys think?

About to go on my first hog hunt and I am trying to decide which gun to take. I want to take my 338 edge with 300gr berger otm tactical hybrids. My guide thinks he can put me on a boar that is 400-500lbs. Will the bergers reliably get the job done on a hog that big/tough or should I try to get...

Good article and definitely something to think about.
