Bumping this one up again. Mainly because I can’t find the thread/post (not sure what we call them lol) where everyone listed items they really are glad they took on a wilderness hunt. I have hunted wilderness areas for 30 years and dang I still learned a lot from that one.

Great info here. I will only double, triple, and quadruple the comment as to buy several packs see which one fits best, return the rest.
I wanted the Stone Glacier pack with the “XCurve” frame to work so bad. After all it sounded great. It curved, had to be perfect.
Not for my body. I could...
Not sure where to post this, but dang it is really hard to get your gear down to a bare minimum for a 18-19 day wilderness hunt. Going to Alaska next month, and my goal is to weed out as many items as possible. I have to ship the gear to Cold Bay in a couple weeks. I wanted to get it down to two...
Just a note of good luck to all chasing bears this spring. Whether black, grizzly or browns, I hope you have the best hunt.
For those going for the first time, my advice is to pay close attention to anatomy. It is not that much different than other game, but worth the look.

Outside diameter of the loaded shells that did not chamber with bullet still seated was .320 when measured with calipers and .322 when measured with a mic. A new brass out of the box measures .310 with calipers and .312 with a mic. After using the mandrel the new brass measures .312 with...

Could not wait until tomorrow.
Took one new brass confirmed it would chamber. Then ran the mandrel through it and it chambered.
Next I pulled a bullet on one of the 15 rounds I loaded originally that would not chamber. I confirmed it would not chamber after the bullet was pulled.
Then I...
I will check tomorrow based on some of these suggestions. I walked away earlier before I became frustrated. I am also going to check the diameter of the mandrel. I want to make sure it is the right size. I will run the mandrel through new brass that chambers then see if it chambers after the...
I know I am going to feel like an idiot when we figure this out, but at times it is best to stop where you are at, step back from the reloading bench and take bite of humble pie.
Facts:
1. Have a new custom built 7MM Mag, bolt action.
2. Used the Hornady O.A.L. Gauge to find the length at...
Anyone have any thoughts on which model of the Scope Cam Adapter is the best or whether one has unnecessary bells and whistles.
