We were hunting in area were a hunter was tag teamed by two grizzly boars. He is HD mechanic and serviced our fork lifts so I got to talk to him a couple of times. When we come on other hunters we stop and BS for a while. It's mostly BS, too. One of the hunter when talking about the attack said "That's why I shot a 300 Winchester Magnum !" I didn't have the heart to tell him his factory load was only 100fps faster than my hand loaded 30.06. Both 30 caliber.

Good morning to you my cyber friend, I hope all is as well as possible with you folks and you're not suffering too, too badly from the smoke.

Our youngest in Coquitlam says its about as thick as it is here - which is actually pretty....

Our eldest and I were up the mountain on Sunday doing a bit of hunting and I joked that we could pull out a big contractor garbage bag and take some home with us to save for later..... wink

Your story reminds me of several times when we'd just fired up our then new Shooting Chrony and to say it was an eye opener and a balloon breaker is an understatement for sure and certain.

Some of the loads that the boys thought were chained lightning were a tad slower than a load I was running in a BBR '06 using WW760 and 173gr Lake City Match bullets..... laugh

They were coming out at 2950fps from a 21" barrel and honestly that's way too warm, but I was young and crazier than at present... I think? crazy

Speaking of, I just bought a Pro Chrono from Budget Shooter Supply down in your part of the world and have to say the service so far has been good - chrono still in the hands of Canada Post and inching it's way eastward.

All the best to you folks this season.

Dwayne
