Junebug... Thanks for the load info. I only have H-110.
I sized the brass and belled the mouths. The wife wanted to play Scrabble so I'll continue later. If you only have one powder, that's the one to have!!! Hope the shooting goes as well as the scrabble did

Thanks Vance. I figure it will. I enjoy handloading. I just don't get to do it as often ad I'd like. Work, family, honey-do list, Scrabble...

I loaded six rounds with 18, 19, and 20 grains each. Eighteen rounds to shoot. I ran out of time to load more. I'll shoot these at a few targets to guage the amount of rear sight adjustment, generally speaking. I can fine tune it later.
Besides, I need to check for ugly pressure signs,too.

We went out to shoot the loads today. All went well. I expected recoil might be ugly. Painful. This fear resulted in a few fliers. Recoil wasn't bad at all.
I will load more with 20 grains of H110 and with 21(max load). I figure I will sight it in a bit too. 30-40 feet zero perhaps. Close, last-ditch bear buster, yup that will do it.

Hornys 300 xtp are plenty of bullet for me. Pushed with H110, they penetrate and fly just fine. They are accurate from my 10" sbh at 100 yards. Have not retrieved one from any animals yet, but dug some up out of the sand after hitting plywood targets and they mushroomed out. Penetration wanted, go with some of those hard casts from various vendors. I just don'tsee a need for anything over 300 grains.
Question, most people encounter grizz when in Alaska, but how many have had to draw and shoot one? Most guides i read about pack a shotgun or a carbine. With all the talk about packing the big hurt for all these bears, they ought to be extinct!

With all the talk about packing the big hurt for all these bears, they ought to be extinct! Thank you. I do appreciate the info. Allow me to explain a bit about me. I was born with an arthritis condition that left me with no movement to my head. My head is fused looking forward only. I can not shoot rifles/shotguns because I can not move my head to look down the sights. Therefor I am using revolvers because I can hold them in front if me easily. I will eventually buy other weights of bullets. But for today its 360 grainers. We ' ve come across bears barely twenty feet away (sow/cub)
