Have a great time Bob & Gina!

Those loads should work.

The snowflakes just need to melt!

Actually saw this with a Bison in Yellowstone, wasn't their last I'm sure but it was memorable! Made the news!

Okay, if someone is taking my .375, he will darn well replace it & it'll cost him! He'll supply me with a nice double .450-400 3" and enough components to last me two years. ;)

Actually, the .375 doesn't tear up meat as some calibers do. It destroys very little meat especially if normal bullets are used like 270 & 300 grain bullets. Then there's the factor of using the rifle you'll use on really big game. A person once asked me why I was using a .375, I told him with...

I have also heard there is so little shoulder on the .375 Whelen that headspace can be a problem?

In a 4 year old thread, I will say I’ve shot several Blacktail deer with a .375, mostly with the old Hornaday 270gr RN over a fairly healthy charge of WW760. That load averaged just under 2700fps. I never recovered a bullet, & one was facing me at 70yds, impact was just below the chin on the...

Having just read the whole thread, Congratulations on a very nice rifle, and thanks for taking us on your adventure!

Today's youngsters! And they vote & reproduce!:censored:

And the name of that organized criminal group is::::: democrats! :mad:

Let me guess,,,,, Yellowstone Nat. Park, tourists ignoring/not believing the many signs telling wild animals are dangerous! :ROFLMAO:

Green Chile, great memories. Thank you for taking us on your hunt! It was very enjoyable.

Welcome, lots of 7X57 (.275 Rigby) lovers here!

Didn’t say I’d wait, I said worst case scenario. the attack could be so sudden & from such close quarters you didn’t have a warning.

Congratulations, thanks for taking us on your hunt. Those teeth are really worn.

Nope, nope, nope, a back country revolver will start .429 & 245gr as in 429421.;)

Thank you all for your input, I have learned how wonderful the 10mm is. Since we have gotten off the original question anyway, I'll throw in something else, if you are in a deadly confrontation where the bear makes contact, you can jam a revolver into your opponent and it will still fire. Most...

Not sure I remember 32? :ROFLMAO:

Might get slammed, but a mostly nude female with an off color joke.

That is a beautiful gun, thanks for sharing.

The news media is deep into these descriptions!

Me too Bob, the .22 is where I started & I'm re-discovering its fun & value!;)

Very nice choice! Congratulations, when you get a chance, a range report would be nice.

Never forget how fun a nice .22Lr is!

No I don't.

You’ve failed to consider the home defense shotgun, the one taken on your elk hunt in grizzly country kept in your tent or camper just in case, and the just plain fun gun for squirrels up close. Personally, I find a youth model 11-87 20ga, with a longer stock, screw in choke, to be a lot of fun.

At least he's honest!

Love it!

That is the absolute truth!:mad:

Shouldn’t have any pressure with starting loads, sounds like you’ve arrived!

209hunter, that is beautiful please let us know how it shoots!

Beautiful, but I’ll stay with my good old #1.

And they were still in your truck when you returned!

Orrr you could carry a few road flares! :ROFLMAO:

Yellowstone most tourist seasons.

And he did! Gotta love Archy

The 5th surgeon is correct! ;)

That rifle is beautiful!

Beautiful, I am also a #1 fan.

Rather .45-2-1/10?

That is a very pretty rifle! I think I’d buy it.

Very nice.

Thank you for sharing your hunt with us! Congratulations!

My suggestion is, you already question RJs theory. If I had ANY reservations about how it would fit after customizing it, I'd select another smith or tell him you don't want it his way. A Smith who builds your style rifle could probably be found.

That's the minimum!

If you haven't already, check out Shed Horn sports in Ennis. It's a pretty big shop.

Welcome BWB.

I think the case length of the .45-70 is 2.105. Some maybe Sharps, called it the .45-1/10.
