Knowing my limitations, I have always tried to use powders that fill the case. 2400, 296 and H110 are my large bore postol powders of choice. I do however like W231 for 45 ACP and the small bores because of the very low to near absence of muzzel flash. I have used Unique but it scares me just because of what Richard experienced. Talk about limitations, if I am interupted while loading shotgun shells (and I think I could do this in my sleep) I will stop and walk away from it. This is always the time a primer falls upside down and I miss it or I just get disunited....

Default Bears

Richard, When I lived in Alaska I only carried a 22 pistol for bears but I always went with another person. I figured if we were attacked by a bear I would shoot the other guy in the leg and I would only have to out run him and not the bear. Cheers, Tom
