2025 spring bear thread
Harvested my first black bear last week. Warden estimated the sow to be 6-8 yr old when a tooth was pulled for precise aging. No signs of lactation this year. Probably an average 5 ft. bear from what my brother-in-laws told me.- samuel_284Win

What 140 gr bullet do you use? Also, what charge weight of VV N150 and how deep do you seat those 140 gr bullets? COAL also helpful.- samuel_284Win

.284 Winchester Handloads?
I have a .284 Winchester that my grandfather gifted me which he built years ago. My grandfather was a machinist, tool and die maker. Used to run an old-school lathe and very gifted with precision. He has since passed so I want to honor his memory and keep using the rifle. The rifle is built off...- samuel_284Win

300 Win Mag ammo for elk.
Currently shooting a 175 gr Barnes LRX in my 300 WM that I am confident with. Have also killed elk well with the Federal Trophy copper 180 gr factory loads in my 300 WM.- samuel_284Win

Carnivore Diet Options While Hunting
I am in the same boat as you as I have leaned in to the keto/carnivore diet and have loved the simplicity and health benefits. The tuna packets are good, just have to find the right couple flavors you prefer. Jack links meat/cheese sticks that come in the 10 pack from Costco are tasty as well...- samuel_284Win

What are you currently reloading?
Assuming muzzle velocity and powder charge? The ladder test for my rifle showed that the accuracy of 3 shot-groups was best (0.4 MOA at 100 yards) at 75.5 gr of RL-26. My GeoBalistics app shows an estimated velocity of 2080 fps at 600 yards so I am confident fast enough from 0-600 yards to...- samuel_284Win

Big Bullets for Big Animals?
So far, I have been impressed and have no reason to change from my 300 win mag loaded with 175 gr Barnes LRX going about 3090 fps. Among myself, my wife, and my mom, my 300 win mag setup has taken 3 pronghorn and 3 elk in the 2024 season. Will continue to use as is until I am convinced otherwise.- samuel_284Win

Round In The Chamber
No. If 3 seconds is the difference between me taking an animal or not due to the need to cycle the bolt then there are probably other ways I can build in more time for patience and a less rushed shot opportunity.- samuel_284Win

Hairy Beasts and Smell Korns
Beautiful pictures! Enjoying your story as I had the same tag in 2022. Selfishly wishing that a friend or family member of mine draws so I can return to this landscape with goats on the mind- samuel_284Win
