Bear is from unit 13, in the heart of the Alaska Range, in particular near Castner Glacier. I was shooting a load consisting of a max charge of IMR7828, Winchester brass, CCI LR magnum primers pushing a Speer Grandslam of 180gr. My rifle really seems to love loads that are either maximum, or very close. I checked all of my reloads at the range for feed, and ejecting reliablity. Load groups 5 shots into .95 inch from the bench at 100yds, and 1.3 @200yards, I think I just focus more on the longer shots. Shot the bear 4 times, he was slammed to the ground with each hit, both shoulders, and lungs were gone, bullets all exited, and fortunately didn't make holes much bigger than a quarter on the hide, but tissue damage was incredible. Partner said he could see the splash from my bullets on the embankment behind the bear at each shot. Bear was one tough customer, with no lungs, and no shoulder, it took a hit from my partners 30-30 for the coup de grace, he shot twice connected once, bullet didn't exit 170gr Nosler made it to the far rib cage. Bear was really dead after first shot, just didn't want to look for him. All 4 of my shots landed in a 3" circle, not bad for a moving target at 82 yards. First shot was a somewhat quartering towards me hit to the near shoulder exiting at the rear of the far rib cage, next 2 were broadside through both shoulders, last one was quartering away slightly. All over in less than a minute, more like 30 seconds, don't think I have ever fired 4 shots from a bolt action in such a short time. That it is it in a nutshell.
