Also, the .416 Ruger loaded with a 400gr projectile can push velocities excess of 2450 pfs and deliver just under 5000lbs of ME. The 350gr can be loaded to push 2550fps.

I also agree 100%. Although I myself surprisingly, have never had to use pepper spray. I know plenty that have had to use pepper spray on bear though. It worked for all of them. Its .my understanding one can not use a firearm of any type on dangerously aggressive animals in any of our National...

Wise policy! Unfortunately that's not possible here on the Island if one is a serious outdoorsman. Simply due to our Brown Bear population. Im not saying its not possible to never have to shoot a bear here. Its just not really possible to never put yourself in a situation where you "may" have to...

First let me say. I love the 45-70 for stopping a dangerously aggressive bear. However, only if loaded with moderately hot, BUT SAFE loads seated with 400gr hard cast and no further than, 🤔 lets say 50yds. As far as stopping a charge, your likely not going to be firing further than that anyway...

No, never heard of that measurement? Inform me please!

This is what I carry in thick bear country with thick cover. Even when not hunting. In fact most of time. Im just hiking! If needed? Its the tool designed to do the job best as possible. Ruger M-77 Hawkeye Alaska Guide model in .416 Express Sights Controlled feed A 45-70 next to a .416 Ruger...

When I do pack a pistol in the brush. This is the one. My 629 Classic loaded with Alaska Backpacker Ammo Co's 320gr hard cast. The nickel coated case is Federal Premiums 300gr Hard cast Id really like an X frame in 460 S&W with a six inch barrel.👍 The only thing stopping me from getting one is...

Yeah that one's great! 👍 I have that in a 8x10 framed out in my shop! 🤣🤣 That one along with another cartoon of a bear pick'n his teeth with a human leg bone while rubbing his belly. The caption reads. "I've been fed well eating Treadwell!" 🤣🤣🤣

Forgot to mention Skull measurements. Length + width = total skull size. For example 12 wide and 16 long would be a 28 inch bear. 30" to 31" is a world record class Coastal Brown Bear. 👍 High Power magnum rifle highly recommend!

Right on man! Good on ya! This Kodiak was a young'n too. Also at three or four years old. Estimated weight was between 800-900 taken during the fall hunting season for Kodiak Brown Bear. At seven inches across the front pad. His front definitely wasn't as big as your bears paw! On Kodiak, rule...

Roger, Well that's that then. Since the original question was on corrosive primers! 🤣🤣 Thanks bud!

20.00 a box is a great price for 7.62 on an Island in Alaska! 🤣🤣 I've tried ordering ammo several times from down south at a better price and I always get shut down one way or another! 👎👎

Same same! Just changed labeling and its way less expensive than standard Fed AE ammo. XM80 Says it all!

They changed the Labeling on there NATO ammo guys! Ive been fireing this stuff for a good while now. I'll try to see if I got an old box lying around.

Ok, your not following me. I know it's made by Federal. It is NOT there standard AE ammo. This is. Compare Prices.

Ill I'll take Bear over Rattle Snakes and Black Widows any day of the decade! @Talyn probably has to deal with all three in the great state of Wyoming! No thankyou! Not I! 👎

This isn't Federals standard AE this is Federals NATO. They changed labeling. The NATO ammo use to be boxed in plain white boxes simply labeled XM80CL on. It looked very plain and generic. This is the exact same ammo as just described and at about 10.00 cheaper a box in .308/7.62 NATO then...

I didn't know that. Are you certain? I ask because Im not certain they are reman. I just know its cheaper ammo and its NATO. I don't know anything about Lake City brass either. The brass used for these NATO rounds are stamped FC on the base.

Agreed.

I myself call them "a whole lot of speed and power" that I'd just rather avoid all together!🤣🤣
