Hi All,
I was at my private gun club today when a fellow showed up to practice with a rifle he borrowed. He said he is going to AK this fall to hunt brown bear with his son, a bush pilot. The gun he borrowed is a SS bolt gun with synthetic stock with bipod, long distance scope (6x20x50), muzzle break and is chambered in 30-378 weatherby magnum. He had two boxed of reloaded ammo that the gun's owner gave him, looked to be 150 to 165 grain ballastic tips. I immediately noticed that one of the bullets was pushed down into the case so that the case mouth was on the oglive. I suggested he not shoot that one. Also, I couldn't see any real crimps on the other rounds. How would you AK fellows feel about taking this setup into the wild and going after a brownie? BTW, I left the range before he shot it, he was with a friend and they are both big boys.
