As you note, topic duplication is not Job 1, and checking the archives is wise. But - not to worry greatly - we love these bear load threads, and bear threads in general, as they produce many responses and much interest. Even though I do not hunt any more, I would never miss a bear thread! My Model 629s get nervous just thinking about 300 grain bullets, and my wrist is tightening as I type this.

And 'Welcome'.
