If you know anyone that casts bullets around you check with them and see if they are into powder coating their cast bullets. It is a relatively new thing
12 to 14 years! It is used instead of the old waxy lubricants.
It wouldn’t be a big deal at all to put a coat of powder on the Barnes bullets...
The lightest mold I have for .44 is 245 gr.
I have 260, 275, 285, etc. all the way up to 340gr.
The thing that limits the bullet choice in a lever action is the length of the bullet projecting from the case, the nose profile , and the cartridge overall
length.
Some rifles are more picky than...
I have not used a 200 grain bullet (mono or otherwise) on a bear or moose.
I never would! Referring to handgun cartridge here.
The idea that it will out penetrate a properly alloyed 300 gr cast is not
at all believable!
I killed my first grizzly with a handgun over 50 years ago. It was a 240...

Amen!
One thing I just realized is that you misunderstood my comments about the fire!
The elk population flourished after the fire!, not plummetEd!
That was my point!,
You have your opinion!
I have mine, based on observations!!
I realize that you are probably butt hurt because you are not allowed to hunt wolves or grizzlies in most places down there? I wish that wasn’t the case!
Please refer to my post #89 for further deliberation!,
I am going to readily admit my selfishness!
At this point in my life I don’t give a rats ass how they do it down south.
I only care about what affects the next 20 years!!😀
Which is the reasonable amount of time that I have left in my hunting
career!
I want huge amounts of big bears crawling all...
The Yellowstone fire should have been an eye opener for the wildlife management folks!
It was the best thing that ever happened for the wildlife!
I remember seeing the evening news reports and the reporters were almost crying about how it was going to kill all the wildlife and destroy our oldest...
Yes,
The Mulchatna thing will go down in history as one of the stupidest things that ADF&G has done! And they are known for managing by “disaster”!
A large percentage of the biologists are against it and not just the “woke”
new generation biologists .
It was -42F at my place early this morning.
I plugged the car in at about 0700.
It will slowly warm via the oil pan heater throughout the day.
I will start it at 1730 to warm up for a half hour before
I drive to town for a dinner date with friends.
This is how I have done it for many years...
Also , another part of the predator control program in Northern part of the State
is that residents are allowed one bear a year, instead of the one bear every
four years like the rest of the State!
And we don’t have to buy the $25 tag
That 94 number was referring to elk numbers in 1994 I think!?
As far as the predator control programs in Alaska the only bear
involved ones are the areas that they allow bear baiting stations ,
which I Do Not Support
I guess I don’t understand your questions?
No context I I suppose!?
You seem to be very passionate about the subject and seem to just throw comments out!?
As far as “culling”
I have always supported hunting of bears and wolves!
The FEDS be damned!!
I hunt bears regularly!
I intend to hunt...
I don’t know about 94 specifically, but after the big , overhyped
Yellowstone fire,the elk populations flourished because of the habitat enhancement!
Just shows that there are a lot of factors involved!
A couple of weeks ago a local resident posted photos in a local blog
of a set of large grizzly tracks on their property!
That was during a very warm spell in our weather, +24F
It is back to a more seasonal temp of -41F so I suspect that he is back
sawing logs in his den?
TVW,
I understand your feelings on this!
However I have had dogs for most of my life.
I don’t take them hunting or backpacking, ever!!
Dogs are bear magnets!
I always have a large caliber handgun with me when I am away from home!
I am surrounded by grizzlies, theoretically!
When I am...
