    What does it take to kill a grizzly?

    I lived in Gallatin County MT when I was younger up into m 20’s. I would see grizzly’s frequently on my hikes to fly fish. One of my friends was a elk biologist in the Pintler/Anaconda Wilderness range. No one talked about it, but hundreds of grizzlies were killed in he dumps of Yellowstone...

    What does it take to kill a grizzly?

    Again your reply is just another example of your inexperience. I have never conversed with a experienced outfitter, trapper, biologist, gold prospector, who live and work in grizzly country, who ever nonchalantly comments like you just did about surprising a mature sow grizzly with cubs! Your...

    What does it take to kill a grizzly?

    I don’t give advice on topics I have no experience on, and I am annoyed by others who attempt to. Especially on hunting animals that can kill you. Good luck if you ever get a chance to actually be in mtn grizzly or coastal brown bear country and run into the wrong sow grizzly in a bad mood with...

    What does it take to kill a grizzly?

    Not sure why you consider yourself a authority on so many subjects related to hunting. Because if one reads your reply’s in your posts it is Blatantly obvious you have done very little big game hunting,you have limited or no knowledge of various states/province’s available game and hunting...

    What does it take to kill a grizzly?

    What I find B.S. is the lack of ANY experience by the so called internet hunting forum experts who are relying on “course work” and have never even been on a grizzly/brown bear hunt, let alone killed one, telling the uninformed how to go about hunting the great bears. It’s comical . And ELPOLLO...

    Load Development ?'s (Noob thread)

    You sound like you have it figured out. Usually 3 powders, 2-3 bullets at .5 grain increments. Adding a chronograph early on to see what exactly is happening is smart and helps gain confidence. The other piece of equipment that helps you gain control and further confidence is the Hornady Lock N...

    What does it take to kill a grizzly?

    Don’t know where you grew up ,but it sure doesn’t sound like the Rocky Mtn West where shooting guns is part of your life experience from age 5. Many of these wildlife professionals you are insulting are 3rd generation Montana, Wyoming , Idaho, Washington, B.C., Alberta, AK natives who have more...

    What does it take to kill a grizzly?

    Really? Experienced bear guides are not knowledgeable about bear rifles and ballistics ? Career Wildlife Biologists, Wildlife Managers, Wardens who grew up with guns and hunting their whole lives,and around wildlife, in WY, ID,MT, are not knowledgeable about guns and ballistics? My experiences...

    25-06 blown primers

    Pretty large learning curve for safe, accurate, reliable reloading. If you do something wrong you can blow your face off. Have you measured, shot chronographed various new factory ammunition in your rifle? Results? Even today I individually balance beam scale each round when adding powder and...

    Lost 82 year old elk hunter in Oregon - good ending

    Kudos to the search and rescue team putting in 20 hours to find the old dude. His hunting partners need to keep him closer to the group at his age, being diabetic and not knowing how to operate his rescue transmitter. Sounds lacking in common sense.

    When do you give up on a barrel/trouble shooting

    You are adding a high degree of heat with the nitride process. Adding another heat treating to the steel of a rifle barrel after it has been worked/machined can cause issues. I have not had a rifle barrel nitrided. The build I have going on , the rifle builder (very experienced) only wanted the...

    Ammo brands

    When you do find a factory combination that works for you on game and on the range it’s wise to buy a case of it . Otherwise you will have the same dilemma every couple of years.

    Federal Premium has been pretty consistent in various rounds. Have had great results and accuracy with the 140gr Nosler Partition in 7MM/08, 180grain Partition in the .300H&H, and several loads in the 300Win Mag and 270WIN.
