Need advice on 7mm-.08

Skeet, you sound very knowledgeable about all kinds of Far North stuff. Have you spent some time up here?

Unfortunately, the Hudson's Bay store chain has gone, well, the way of chain stores. Remember when Banana Republic was a really cool store with all kinds of safari clothing and outdoor gear? Now it's unrecognizable. Same thing with Hudson's Bay Company. In fact, now they just call it "The Bay" to make it sound trendy. They don't even have a Bay store up here, which is just fine for me since it's not what it used to be.

Am glad to get some confirmation that I got a great deal on the .308. And it's in excellent condition, too. A few of my friends are going to set me up for hand loading and said I should experiment with different loads to see what I'm most comfortable with. After sizing the .308 down to fit me and putting a good recoil pad on it, I'm thinking I'll be able to shoot in my sleep without even waking up.

Weird that the mountain lion attacked him *while* he was using his chainsaw. I know they're aggressive, but that's incredible-- and super scary. I've been out felling trees in winter and could hear wolves in the near distance, but I've always figured nothing would come close with my chainsaw running. We're starting to get mountain lions up here now too-- they're following the deer. I think I had one walking around my cabin a few winters ago but not sure. I hope they don't become a problem.
