I get it... 
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

The largest grizzly I've ever seen was in there in 2004. I was glassing from high above the head of a large drainage and picked up with my binoculars what I thought was at first a moose feeding in a wide band of willow. A closer look with the spotting scope revealed a tremendous boar grizzly working his way across it. My pal and I watched him for over an hour. I finally said,"Look at him, he doesn't have a care in the world." Alan laughed, and said, "He doesn't have to care about anything." Top of the Apex....
I'm glad they're there. They've been there for thousands of years and belong there. That country wouldn't feel right without them being there.

![[Linked Image]](http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp311/patrickgsinclair/IMG_0213.jpg) Unlimited ram taken in 2006. I spent 9 days before the season opened in there, and found 8 rams. Cartridge/bullet/rifle/range?? You may have already typed it...but I ain't got the time. LOL. I'm very envious. Hunt of a lifetime for most. Mike was shooting a .300 Weatherby, handloaded 200gr Accubond. The shot was 320 yards. He told me he put over 500 rounds through the rifle over the summer prior to coming out for the hunt. Freaking awesome.....

I agree. the bears belong there. those backcountry bears mind their Ps and Qs but the bears closer to the trailhead can get a little pushy. still, nothing turns a walk in the woods into a treasured memory like brush with a big bear.

A wise man once said, "I've got bullets older than you sonny!"  Oregon: That's funny! I killed a buck earlier this month with a 130 screw machine NPT from a red box....I suspect that bullet is older than me.  Glad that worked out. I have a precious half a yellow box of the same and looking forward to seeing similar results someday. Just imagine how awesome a 270WCF 130NP sheep hunting in grizzly country thread could be!

Well, now that I've been properly educated I sat down and printed me up a chart so as I can start running higher BC bullets for any shot past 10 yds. I'm gonna need wind drift figures from you Jordan for 20-90 yds as my program only gives wind drift in 100 yd increments.
Thanks

No problem. Just hold into the wind about a foot at that distance. Your flinch should pull the shot right into POA.
Thank me later.

Toad thanks for the link. I'm going to be playing with a 7 STW and Nosler 168 LRAB's so that helps me out.

Can someone post a pic of a recovered/mushroomed Scenar so that we can see how they look?

Thank me later. Thank you for the words of experience but I've never heard of that. I'll just thank you for that one now! Shod

The 160 Accubond is the most accurate out of my 7 RM that I have tested at 400 yard targets. But, that rifle may like tipped TSX or partitions better, shoot the most accurate from long range targets.

My sample of one bombed inside and didn't leave very big pieces of shrapnel. One very dead deer though, quartering at about 200 yards. 90 grain from a 243 Winchester.

Apologies to the LR diehards, but this is one reason I cannot be 100% sold on using 7mm 168 VLD's when I go into a hunt knowing the shot could come at virtually any distance between 20 and 600 yards. My hunting pard's N Louisiana whitetail taken a few days ago. Field dressed 155 lbs, 7mmRM HSM ammo featuring 168 VLD hunting bullets. 138 yards. Deer obviously dropped like a rock.

had an SMK do pretty much that exact same thing from a .264. this was in the '80s and I've never used them on game since.
