Who has had luck with the Speer Gold Dot 140gr bonded ?

My go-to hunting rig is a LH Ruger Alaskan Guide in 375 Ruger with Leupold Mark 4 in Alaska Arms QD rings.

I picked up a CZ 452 rimfire for hunting small game and didn't really know what I'd put on top. I had a NIB Weaver Classic K 6x sitting around and figured the price was right so why not? Turns out even though I figured it might be too much magnification, too small FOV and the parallax would be...

The fire-ant bed method works great. They're picked clean in about 10-15 days. Unfortunately, I no longer live in the south and there are no red ants in Ohio. So I now use the 5 gal bucket method. No heater required. Just wait until hot summer weather and pull the skull out of the freezer. 1/8"...

Have the opportunity to purchase a fine used Sako rifle with a S&B Classic 6X42 scope. Already have someone interested in the rifle, but he definitely does not want the scope. I have a T/C encore .50cal muzzleloader w/ an Aimpoint T1 that needs bigger glass. Zero is at 100 but would like to...

I'm thinking like AKONA. Been working on loads with the 130gr TTSX for my 308 Tikka. Took it on a black bear hunt (as a back-up) but didn't use it, so haven't shot anything but paper yet.

I have no experience with the product, but this may be something to consider if you do not want to thread your barrel. Clamp On Muzzle Brake Clamp-On Muzzle Brake [MB1] - $89.00 : Witt Machine

I liked that MDT offers Lefty versions for Savage and Tikka. Customer service was great.

My results may not be typical? The fat stubby barrel is stiff, that's gotta' help. There's VERY limited load data for this cartridge, and lots of combinations yet to explore. QuickLoad is your friend here. I got lucky early in the load development process with this particular barrel and...

It's a drill. This is a 5 shot group at 100, prone off bipod. I don't have to dial or hold for wind!

Slug now weighs 267gr. The bullet only lost 12% - after going thru the bear and then hitting rock. Actually, some of that weight loss would have been the plastic tip insert, so it's likely over 90% retention. I'm a Barnes fanboy. I shoot them exclusively when hunting. I use 4 different...

The barrel is only +16" with 3/4-28 muzzle threads. Canada has an 18" barrel requirement, so I perm. attached the brake to get the barrel up to length. Rifle started out as a 308 varmint. The standard center-feed magazines won't work, but will function great as a single shot follower. The...

A few more pics:

Just got back from a week in the Canadian bush on a Black Bear hunt. Drove up from OH with 9 guys and met another 3 in camp. In total, 7 bears were killed and another 2 guys had opportunities but didn't connect. Our bears averaged 130 to 160 and the largest went 245lbs. Outfitter indicated...
