You might be remembering the picture I posted of OlBlue's Kodiak bear scapula. It was a beautiful sunny day and we had all kinds of time. I fleshed a scapula and took a picture of Mel's orange-handled knife through the scapula. The picture is far from perfect, but considering you can see an orange knife THROUGH the bone it makes my point perfectly. It is somewhere here in cyberspace.

As for Partitions, they are reasonable bullets, but they usually cost more than premium bullets and frankly, I have caught FAR too many of them to consider them a premium bullet. If I recover a bullet it is unlikely I will use that bullet again.


I like your logic so from here on out I'm not using Barnes tsx bullets I recovered one in a elk, same for partitions recovered them on a moose. But the eld-x no recovery so keep using. Sierra gameking no recovery keep using. Man I'm saving money now lol..

In the '60s we used to go there every spring to shoot "rats for the hides. I am guessing we are at least a month early there.

Last time I looked the Partitions were the most expensive.

Not paying extra for ordinary...

I buy the seconds I haven't bought nosler 1st in years.. but I'm a huge hornady fan, the eld-x is a impressive bullet. I like tsx because they very easy bullet to get to shoot.

Yup, a 22 to the head is no big deal on price for AK rats because they shaft us on price every time.

I would personally go with the lightest rifle to carry.

The 300Rum, 200 partition @ 3,100 would be brutal.

Especially if it turned out to be the lightest rifle...

Always interesting to read about what hunters consider adequate for interior grizzlies.

Don't vast experience with them, but do have some, including in Alaska, and friends who took them here in Montana when the season was still open. They are not small bears here, as some might assume. One spring bear, snared by biologists, bottomed out an 800-pound scale. It would have easily weighed well over 1000 in the fall.

Yeah, except we haven't has a hunting season since the early 1990's. When we do, there will be some BIG bears taken.

To answer the questions posed, 300 Rum is lighter by a bit, over the 375.

700 SS bbl'd action, Slimline brake, Micky rem classic, edge fill

Talley's, Zeiss HD5, RZ600.

I'll have to weight it, thinking 8ish lbs . The 375 is pushing 10 lbs.

Because the bears there are 7-8 footers, and the possibility of long walks and shots, thinking the 300rum with 200 partitions is the way to go.
