    Hunting & Fishing Best Hunting backpack?

    I had Randy at Cold Cold World make me up a Chaos Model in camo. I used it sheep hunting this year in the Brooks Range and it was the lightest, most comfortable, well designed, and well made pack I have ever used. 50 lbs seemed as if it was not there. intro

    300 Win Mag or 338 Lapua?

    Agreed! 300 Norma. If you have the opportunity to shoot a custom rifle in 300 Norma, do so before you decide on the 300 win mag or Lapua. All the best with you build.

    300 NORMA MAG ?

    The 20" barrel is very handy, I trued my balistic solver at 2950fps with the 200 grain bullets. While hunting I never even noticed the rifle going off, to focused on the moment, on the bench and developing a load it does have a bit of blast, and some left over recoil, rifle weighs 8-9 lbs. A fat...

    300 NORMA MAG ?

    Redding will make up a 3 die set for you, body, neck sizer, and seater, its a bit expensive, they are a custom order. For me it has been worth it. Shot quarter inch, not quarter MOA groups today with the rifle at 350 yards with 230 gr. Berger otm's and h50bmg, .002 neck tension.

    Contact Brooks Range Aviation and ask them about the getting to Howard Pass. You shouldn't need a guide if you have done some wilderness trips in the past. There will be some bears following the caribou so store your food and caribou a couple hundred yards from your tent. Howard pass is just...
