    300 WSM Powder

    H4350 and 175 LRX have worked well form me, and has been easy to find on the shelves, here in Alaska at least.

    270 win 130gr GMX for Moose

    I've taken four moose with a 270 Winchester. Three with 140gr Hornady BTSP, and one with 150gr Hornady SP. Ranges were 45-415 yards. I bought a box of Hornady 130gr CX bullets to try out, and have no doubt they would work. As I've heard an old-timer out here say multiple times, it used to...

    Low recoil for bigger game

    I've hunted in Alaska for over a decade with a 270 and 308, after shifting away from a 338 win mag and 375 Ruger for big game. After seeing moose, brown bear, and caribou taken with much less powerful cartridges (223s are employed a lot around here), I just didn't see the reason to continue to...

    Lightweight hunting knife

    Used these on multiple sheep and moose. The serrated ones split the back of moose hide well.

    280 Remington enough for AK moose?

    I keep record of all of the game I shoot. Of the 11 moose I've shot, although 2 have been with a 375 Ruger, the majority (6) have been with a 308 Winchester or 270 Winchester. One was with a 243. The longest shot (415yds) was with a 270 Win shooting 150 grain InterLocks...not too far off from...

    308: Is It Making a Comeback??

    I've hunted and shot more game in Alaska with a 308 win than anything else, including multiple moose, sheep, caribou, black bears, brown bears, ptarmigan, spruce grouse, rabbits.....It's versatile for sure. Add in a 223, and 375, and you don't need anything else where a rifle is concerned, but...

    Where does .308 Winchester excel?

    I bought a rifle chambered in 308 over a decade ago because of the rifle it came in, a Kimber Montana. Multiple moose, black and brown bear, caribou, and sheep later, it is hard to argue that I NEED anything else. But, what's the fun in that?

    Ultralight 223

    As thinhorn mentioned, the Leupold 2.5-8 is a good fit. That is what I have on my 308 KM. I have a Leupold 3-9X40 on the 223.

    Would you carry a g29 10mm??

    I picked up a G29, as I wanted to compare it to my G20. I found it to be pretty stubby and harder to shoot than my 20. On top of it, I didn’t really notice the extra weight and size of the 20 that much, so I sold the 29.

    Ultralight 223

    I agree with the Kimber Montana. I’ve had mine for about 7 years. Plinking, fur, and caribou. I originally bought it for practice, as I have other KMs for larger stuff, but I’ve used it quite a bit for game. Cheap 55gr Hornady for practice, and either a 55gr or 62gr ttsx for game. You won’t...

    NWT Mix bag - 308 or 270WSM

    I have a 2-10 VX5HD on a 270 KM right now, but my 308 has always worn a Leupold 3-9X40 CDS or a Leupold 2.5-8 with a BC reticle. The 2.5-8 has been on it the most, but not because the 3-9X40 was lacking. Both scopes fit the platform well. The VX5HD is a heck of a scope, but if I were tight...

    NWT Mix bag - 308 or 270WSM

    I have taken all three of those animals, multiple times, with my .308 KM.....also multiple black bears, and a brown/grizzly. Mostly with 150 ttsx, or 180 partition, but some animals with plain old 150 interlocks or 150 sst. The 308 KM is a superb setup for a mixed bag hunt such as the one you...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    My experience, for what it's worth....no elk here, but I've personally shot four caribou with a .223, all with Barnes 62 gr ttsx, and one other caribou that had been shot too far back with a 300 win mag. All of these were medium sized bulls, and all of them that were hit in the appropriate...

    Best 10mm models

    I own both a 329 PD in 44 magnum and a Glock 20 sf, practicing with both consistently. The 20 SF is much, much easier to control and shoot accurately. As a result, I've carried the 20 most of the time, over a lot of country hunting, fishing, and just general traveling in the backcountry. It...

    How Old Where You When You Got Your Sheep?

    First was at 36, and then last year at 38. Both solo. Agreed TBoschma, you learn a lot about yourself when you're alone in the mountains.
