Bear Medicine..... You wont feel a thing!!
« on: July 31, 2015, 10:34:59 AM »
The .300 RUM is dialed in.   180GR arse whuppin!

Has to be a nice bear or otherwise it walks. Looking for a nice coat for a rug.
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

Because you like a blood trail wider than it is long  :tup:

What'd your neighbors say when you were taking that picture on the sidewalk?   :chuckle:

My guess is that if they have lived next to him for any amount of time, they have seen way more disturbing than that.  :chuckle:

Looks good RT, though the bears probably think differently.

Trail?  I guess when the big cloud of red mist finally settles.

That was like my sister's first deer, a young doe.  Shot with a hot-rod .25-06 handload at around 50 feet  :chuckle:

RT, what's your load data?

This setup loves factory remington ammo right off the shelf. I dont shoot it enough to hand load.  180 Scirrocos.   My go to gun.  The thing shoots awesome! One long poke at a bull at 562.  He took a dirt nap..

I love to bang yotes with this thing! It makes ugly holes

all the deer I've shot with a 300 RUM have had an exit about the size of a fist.  But that was with 150 sciroccos.

My 2012 bear had a small entry and exit. About a 35 yd shot though.

It's easier to pack back to the truck when they're gutted, debone, and packed up all in one trigger pull.

I've also got a 300RUM, M700, LS, SS.  I bought mine the first month it was offered.  Love it......for what it does..... :tup:.  Not quite as necessary to use as once thought, but it sure instills the confidence while hunting.

Which 180gr. Scirrocco's....?  And I ask because they've had at least one upgrade to their initial offering.  And if the initial offering.....we should chat.......  >:(.

Nice rifle and good luck.

Shot my 3rd bear with 300 rum and swift scirocco 180gr.  Bullet didn't exit.  Dropped right there.  No hassle, no movement after the shot.
