    New howa superlite

    I like the howa rifles for the weight on the magnum cartridges. I like to shoot as often as i can. Practice, practice, practice, is not fun with a light rifle. And the thin contour barrels walk after not a lot of shots from over heating.

    300 Win Mag vs 300 PRC

    If you can shoot well with the recoil of a 300 win mag then you will never regret owning one. But i do love my 6.5 PRC more and more. That being said, i will always have my .300 win mag with me if i think i may need to shoot far or i am hunting elk only. The 6.5 PRC is a great all around...

    300 win mag rifles

    The Ruger is awful light. But lots want a easy carry kicker these days. I like the model 70s. The new ones shoot and function perfectly.

    WTB 6.5 PRC Brass

    Creedmoore Sports is supposedly getting some ADG brass in the end of October. But you will likely need to pre order to get any.

    2 bulls by themselves.

    I would look at a map. Then i would look where a group of cows may feel safe near the spot you saw those bulls. A canyon, thick area of trees in a depression maybe. I have seem to find elk almost always in places most would not want to carry one out of.

    Inexpensive starter compound bow

    You need to get your draw length measured ,so you know what you need to look for. Any archery shop should be able to do that for you.

    Bear calibers

    My largest bear was pushing 400# and dropped after 30-40yrds after one shot from a 25-06 at 260yrds. 30-30 and 180gr bullets took many threw the years. I personally dont think black bears are hard to kill. But i can say they go down like they were struck by lightning with a .338 win mag and 200+...

    New addition

    You may find you hunt more often with the 6.5 prc. I love my .300 win mag, but unless i think im hunting elk at longer distances than 400-500yrds, i really prefer my 6.5 prc.

    Tarnished bullets

    Those dont look bad. They would not shoot any different. But a go in a tumbler with corn cob would make them shine better than new.

    Rebarreling a model 7

    You can get a used press on ebay for 60-70 bucks..... The rest can be had for another 100 dollars or so. It doesnt need to be complicated or fancy equipment. A Lee 3 or 4 hole turret press makes loading multiple cartridges easy for a beginner, i think.

    Rebarreling a model 7

    Reload or find some one who will do it for you. Or sell it to some one who reloads..... Like me maybe...

    Temperature change and accuracy question

    Deffinately not the problem that many think it is for hunting. It would have to be pretty extreme difference in temp. And a recheck of the zero in those conditions takes care of the problem for practical hunting distances out to 400, for sure. Only potential problem is for max loaded reloads...
