Bad Grizzly Week, I Should Be Dead ( remake)

[@davidtennyson4908]

Spend enough time in the woods, forrest, mountains, wherever, and you, too, will have some KOOL and freakish stories to tell. Keep 'em coming Steve. Your audience love them!

[@14yeartwitch14]

My bet is that Grizzly learned at some point early on, an association with people and food. The camp was too populated, and at noon, decided to follow you two up the trail because you guys were going to be easier to knock off. But once you guys started up, he was sniffing for food and didn't smell it coming off of you two. So he trailed you guys until he could get a whiff of food emanating off of you. It never happened as he followed you guys back to camp, to where the cabin you decided to change in was right near the cook shack. Bear was desperate at that point and could smell food and watched you walk in that cabin. He finally got the connection he was looking for.

[@josephstephens1252]

I've had handloads that didn't chamber because they weren't resized properly. Didn't know it until after hunt. Was walking over griz tracks all day in the Bob Marshall wilderness. Now I check every aspect of each round.

[@codfishknives8526]

I don't even hunt anymore but I so enjoy the stories. You are around for a reason my friend. Time will probably tell us why. I hope you stay safe in all your adventures. Keep em coming.

[@FatDaddy4Fun]

Steve, that bear following you up the trail, then sitting on you, then following you guys back down and to the cabin is not just odd, but a little creepy even. The stuff horror movies are made of. Lol. Glad you're alive bro.

[@AlanMichaelJackson]

Wolf your real name? Jealous if so lol.

[@FatDaddy4Fun]

@@AlanMichaelJackson Never been asked that before. Be happy to explain it. I am Creek (Muskoke) indian and my tribal name is Tien Eepke YvHv CvOha, which loosely translates "the wolf that thunders in the wilderness". For a long time my friends called me thunderwolf and eventually just shortened it to Wolf over a period of decades. I do have a christian name which I use for business and most other interactions.. Thanks for asking bro.

I heard that story the first time you told it. And ever since then I've been listening to everything you do. That's almost just too amazing to be true.

[@robertnation3077]

Whoa! SOB! What a story! I just came back from an Elk hunt in Canada & felt guilty for using factory ammo & not my hand loads. Well, that guilt is gone now. I think of myself as a careful hand loader, but don’t we all. I may well never use a handloaded round again on a big game hunt! That was one hell of a good job story telling. Damn!

[@motorgearhead]

Robert Nation - I hand load. I have had a squid load (no powder) but only when running pistol calibers on fast progressive press (Dillon 650) and not using a powder check die. All hunting and precision rifle loads are loaded on a loading block and powder trickled to weight and then bullet seated and crimped (if necessary). Also, I don’t load for other people (as a general rule). I’ve been reloading for 30 yrs. squibs happen in your using progressive equipment.

[@robertnation3077]

motorgearhead yip, I use a Dillion 550 & never have had squib I did however with a Federal factory 9 mm in my BHP! I trickle my rifle rounds as well I always say ‘ I load handgun for economy & rifle for performance.’ I will not hand load for other people! After hearing this tale it really drives home the Murphy’s law thing! This story really gives me pause. Good to hear from a fellow hunter. This channel really rocks!

[@mikeanderson6531]

Great video. Yes the handoader friend skipped the part where you take a flashlight and look into EVERY charged case in the block to confirm powder before seating bullets. Then checked ALL loaded cases in a SAMMI case gauge for that caliber. I’ve F’d up lots of ammo getting in a hurry or getting distracted but it’s always been plinking ammo. Hunting ammo gets extra special attention. 👍🏻

[@BigT27295]

Exactly. On all you said.@motorgearhead

[@allansmith6140]

There's a lot more that can wrong with handloads than just that dumb mistake of not having powder in the case. For one thing you are using recycled brass for the most part. There is the point of rounds not having been resized properly and they won't chamber or cause sticky extraction. There is also possible contamination with oils/sizing lubricants to the primer or powder. I go to GREAT lengths to assure quality handloads including washing the cases to remove all traces of oils after sizing, call me paranoid but I have had one round go poof and lodge in the barrel with unburnt powder making a huge mess once I got the bullet out which was another story, once was enough for me. The other thing I do is Full Length Resize all my hunting ammo. Its printed right there on the die box or in your reloading manual. The problem is that once handloaders become more "experienced" they load for accuracy or extended case life and they do not realize they are getting into the target ammo domain by doing so, its no longer hunting ammo. The more you tweak your reloads by stretching the SAAMI spec, the less reliable you are making your ammo, to the point of idiocy of having no tolerance whatsoever. I do not even use progressive presses as its too difficult to assure quality with them. I have 6 single stage presses that I set up for production, I may not use them all all the time, depends what I'm doing. Look... if you are shooting woodchucks at 500m do what you like with your ammo as you are just target shooting basically. But for anything else use some common sense.

[@theresamulvihill1962]

What an incredible storyteller! I live in a big city. I’m not even interested in hunting, but this guy makes it all so amazing!

[@billyhill4937]

Years ago I had 1 box of factory ammo that had 2 bad rounds out of the box of 20. The 2 bad rounds just went click on the first primer strike but they both went BANG when I re-cocked and pulled the trigger a second time. The other 18 rounds fired just fine. I have also had a HOT factory round right out of the box blow up and damage the rifle resulting in a trip to the gunsmith. When I reload my hunting ammo I check all the rounds in a loading block by shining a light in each case to make sure they all have powder at the same depth before I seat the bullets. Great hunt stories ! Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I can confirm that you can shake a round and tell if it has gun powder in it. I can also confirm that is the only way to know if gun powder is actually in the round. You can't tell the difference between a round with and without gun powder just by holding them. You are talking just a few grams difference in weight. What an awesome story! Your guardian angel had your back those few weeks for sure! Keep up the great videos, hunting and Sasquatch, love them both!

Best storyteller on youtube. I don't trust handloads except for one guy i know. A guy once loaded some shotgun shells for my dad when he was the guys teacher back in the late 1970's. He and another teacher went out and shot at some geese or ducks or something and nothing happened. They lower the guns and the shot came rolling out of the barrel. Another guy, the son of my hunting partner made a bunch of rounds of 30-06. He was shooting at a deer, hit it either seven or eleven times and the bullets never expanded....the deer crawled out onto the road and he had to pull his handgun out and blow it's brains out in front of a car. He was using too much gunpowder and non-expanding bullets. Same guy a decade later has built up many ar-15 rifles and has one that someone screwed up. They forgot to put powder into it or just a little bit. The bullet is now stuck in the barrel and they have bent a few rods trying to get it out. His dad, my hunting partner is goingnto have to make him a steel rod with a screwed in brass end and we will try to pound it back out from the front. The steel will not bent at least. The one guy I trust buys dies before he buys guns and his stuff is usually before WW1.

[@W5rr2nG]

As a big shooter, I’ve had more flaws in factory rounds Than anything. That’s why I started reloading. Setback bullets, bulged brass that wouldn’t chamber, etc. But I won’t reload for anybody else and I won’t shoot anyone’s else’s reloads. Now, I run compressed loads so you can’t shake a feel the powder, but you can definitely feel the weight difference In a unloaded round with a bullet in the end of it. The balance is way off. But damn that’s crazy man.. and yes i watched the first one, and if you upload it again I’m gonna watch it again. Lol. Keep em coming!

[@cleeshann1928]

I am a reloader myself and I will agree with you on this one for sure. I've had bad powder in bullets I've reloaded and have also left powder out of a reload. There are precautionary measures that a reloader can take, like weigh all of the reloads once done with reloading a batch. The reason I reload is the cost of 300 Winchester magnum factory loads start at $25.00 A box of 20 and go up from there to over $50.

[@pjfountaine7755]

Wow....that is an amazing story because it is truth. God was watching over you, Steve, and I'm glad that you never had to squeeze that trigger for either bear.

I had the same thing happen to me back in about 1988. I shot a hand load and the round made a silent "pop". No recoil. Ejected the shell and ammo, couldn't see any daylight through the end of the barrel. Went home. Took it to a gun smith where he hammered a boat-tail bullet back out of the barrel. No powder in the shell. The primer exploded and only wedged the bullet into the barrel. I quit using hand loads for hunting or self defense after that. Only use them for target practice. Now I buy the best high quality ammo I can find for hunting and self defense. Those machines in a good factory are one Hell of a lot more accurate than most of us.
