Vaquero, while I appreciate the ballistic flexibility you show, don't you find it difficult to carry that inventory and your reloading equipment on the trail? Plus with my luck, the Griz would be charging and I would have the .338, but the only ammo some 35 Remington my grandfather left in the pocket of my woolie when he borrowed it.

I mean, isn't there a danger that when your particular B&C Grizzly charges, you'll be busy at your portable reloading bench? Perhaps you should consider taking me along. With my trusty (slighty rusty) Iver Johnson loaded with a 12-gauge slug (Ted Williams Ammo, Sears, 1954) I could watch your back. Unfortunately, I do not pose for photographs with it, as the friction tape on the stock is somewhat embarrassing. For the right kind of money, I would consider that Camo Duck Tape, though.

I have a minimum 100 rounds each of my favorite hunting loads, loaded at all time.

do you think I reload one or two rounds?

BTW. a 12 gauge with nice solid sabot slugs will penetrate a grizz and be good protection. the hollow foster slugs I used for years to take down deer in a shotgun county, I fear would expand to much and be stopped by the musculature of a big Grizz before reaching the vitals....

btw, a buddy moved to Maine and got a rare (at the time) moose tag. grandpas .35 Remington took down a full rack Bull with one round through the shoulders and lungs.
