Hey rodger and dom- s.d. can also be used to refer to sectional density- that is how much a given bullet weighs compared to its diameter.. When did you two become the grammar police? huh? You know nothing in the grand tradition of conservative dumb- red neck republican Trump voters. Signed a proud member of the resistance to reactionary republican idiotic red necks best Bruce Peek

I don't use preferred pronouns. So, I use the 308 instead.

for those who already own a 7 mag. maybe

The answer is yes. The 3006,308 and the 223 have all been used in combat and all have been used for hunting

Well,as you've said over there year's,you don't know. And Ron as an old 71 year old Nam vet and hunter that's there main reason I listen to you. Unlike rifle companies or the creators of new cartridges you don't knows everything but here's what's important to me,Ron may not know but he's going to find out. And Unlike people who's main objective is to promote the product they,Or their company has produced. All these mathematics calculations describing theirs product and why it's better than your common 308, 30.06,or,yes the 30:30 which isn't basically obsolete. You Ron has actually hunted with all of these during you're travels and experience on the bench or in their field lives you and edges and you're honestly isn't plain to see to us plain people. I listened to this and have some knowledge one each subject Or questions you were ask. Yes,I am from Oregon and as a timber faller/ Logger who worked,lived for months on the job, hunted throughout their Northeast including Alaska. Here's what I know about their bench leg. The last times I heard this'll mentioned wasn't many year's ago,could of been asked far back as they 90s.Oregon fish and game said they were going to study the Bench leg deer east of Medford Oregon on them west side off theirs Cascades. There reason this area was chosen was it's their only places in the west where blactail deer actually migrate during winter. What that has to do with anything I don't know So Ron we both don't know but you did have information of of the three species and the scientific information of how they three cameras about. Thanks Ron,nowadays I know from your efforts. That doesn't answer the question but your conclusion was a bench leg came from mule deer and blactail interbreed,which was you're conclusion to the mystery of the Bench leg. There study promised by The Oregon fish and Games never happened because I stayed informed on the progress .which never took place. I can give you a description of what over my 71 years of hearing of this deer,which would be in my of your analysis understanding is ,well as good as any I've heard. Here's what I've witnessed. Why bench leg?.what I've actually seen isn't these bench legends deer are shorter than the average blactail. Not as tall basically. But what issues noticeable is although shorter then ranges in weight from 200 to 240 s.Ive witnessed two that fit that description. I will add their antlers are usually bulkier anders bigger.in fact,yes they resemble mule deer and you wondered how it fits on a blactails head .I know a place that mulies and blactail interbreed often and that's around Tiller Oregon instead they southern Cascades butt North of Medford Oregon. So,here's my issue. They only deer I've seen that meet there criteria explained is nothing one there western slopes off theirs Cascades but on the west side of thei Southern Oregon coast range.and both deep came from their same areas between Coosbay Oregon and Bandon Oregon about 20 something miles between them two. We do have a population of whites tails in Oregon but only it's two areas both one them western side of them Cascades east off Roseburg Oregon east of interstate 5 east to untiled your start climbing to their westerns Cascade to ours world Famous Crater Lakes Oregon Columbia River gorge..We don't have a hunting season, Last i looked to hunt whitetails in these areas. So Ron,you're explanation makes more sense,anders because you're actually investigate,that i will accept your definition of a bench leg. Just thought I'd mention a deer i killed while taking a break from the west Cascades well hunt forward up to 7 week's anders usually camp butt I'm ther only one in the Huntington group who's married. I shots this'll deep within 4 miles from myself house and rock throw from the Pacific ocean .when I walked up to this deer ,first thing I thought was mules deer. Then,it couldn't berthing deer looked like a bench leg .it was over 220 lbs .an average blacktail on the coast is around 60 lbs of meat. History deer boneed out was still overall 200 lbs. .I workers instead and slaughter house and few years and know my business .Sorry for the length Ron but your brought up the bench leg and fetcompelled to speak up. .

Theory is great but in reality if a bear wants to kill you you're going to be damn lucky to survive even if you're armed and trained. Luckily for you animals don't act like humans. They don't want to kill you, they want to be left alone. If they did they're probably wouldn't be many of you left.

I think Mississippi tony is talking about a Sako action that Ithaca imported in the 60-70s.

Yep 30-06.....

I was infantry in the army and I used the old M16A1 for many years. Later the A2. I’m very familiar with them and I am comfortable using them. Even today I can pick one up and shoot it accurately. I have many different rifles and handguns, but I used the M16A1 the most.

Ron I was wondering if you ever thought of having Randy Selby as a guest? I’m wondering if you’ve tried his 7mm .404 wapiti? That would be a great video I think

Gotta disagree with you on red dots Ron. Red dot tech has gotten pretty good and they come with an MOA rating which relates to the thickness of the dot. You can get a 1 MOA dot which is needle sharp and can also get one with a etched reticle so you can run unilluminated in day light hours or at minimal briteness to reduce star-bursting in low light. We plink out to 300 yards with red dots all the time on 556 and 308 ARs And we've put deer on the ground with red dots too. I think it would be a great choice on a 45-70 or similar use rifle.

Nothing new under the sun. The 6.5 IS the .250 AI with a .308 case head. A .250 AI launches 120 grain bullets safely at 2900 FPS. Make a streamlined 120 with a mid .4 BC and we are in business.

We need a .300 Western made out of the .300WSM case so we can see what the long high BC's would do out of it!

Newb here looking for recomendations advice, im looking at 30-06, 308 and 270 for my first rifle, which one would you recomend for a starter?

I use a red dot for snap shooting on my scout rifle otherwise for hunting I put conventional scope set up

You are WRONG there is slow motion footage of rifled slugs in smooth bore and they do in fact SPIN. MISINFORMATION

Rightly Said

There seems to be alot of cry babies on the comments today...😂😂😂😂 holy cow what do yall want them to do reprint all the packaging just for a short time then change it all back.... jeezz just to passify a few cry babies lolol

It's a pleasure to hear his history, Favrit uncle's is right

My m-700 likes 165 grn the best

I have never used hearing protection when shooting a gun. I drove up on the shooting range or in the woods hunting and I still heal just fine I have shot literary tens of thousands of rounds of what kind of shell made

I kneel

6.5cm and 6.5x55 are both great rounds. But the higher pressure from the creedmore comes a cost. Owning a couple of the 6.5x55 that were made in early 1900's and still no issue with nether is I think better than the 6.5cm necked case making high pressure that around thousand rounds will have to rebarrel the creedmore because of the pressure on that barrel of way it's neck. Rifles over a hundred years old and still as accurate as the day it was made says everything with no arguments! You velocity with a 6.5 the 6.5-06 in loading books look really impressive.

New hunters miss the sweet spot Thats why new hunters really need 30.06 .270 or a 300 win mag Othrrwise its animal cruelty

I just ordered a Vortex Copperhead 4-12x44. This would be my first scope.

🇦🇺😎👍Nice

tikka t3x is still available in 30.06

You never said what you chose after ten minutes of talking

I have a cz model 3 270wsm and the best I can tell it came with a 1:75 or 1:8 twist factory barrel, if anyone knows for sure please lmk ! So knowing this I’m even happier to try the heavy bullets. But it’s done fine with 130-150 grain so far

I like them all pretty much. Depends on where and how far, and which gun your best with.

I go with 357. Revoler

Dead bear can’t tslk

Bring back the 300 savage and make the guns take higher pressure

I started alpine hunting with a 30-06 and never looked back. Interesting debate, tho.

I cut 45/70 to 1.800" and use 460 s&w load charts. Works great out to 120 yds

Depends on where you live?

Hi Ron love the show wondering if there’s any insight on electric scopes ATN seems to have a nice one just wondering thanks

Always go with the light bullets speed kills

Recoil? Recoil!!!

NO. The 8 x 68 S is from 1940. The german generals might need something stronger for the huntinggrounds in Africa. instead of the 8 x 57` the: 8 x 60 I / 8 x 60 IR and 8 x 60 IS / 8 x 60 ISR were made.

3M out of 20M is not an insignificant number at 15% of the population. However this comes with nuance yes? The real question is what is the necessary replacement rate to maintain the population. If the numbers I’ve seen are correct that number to account for hunting and natural causes/incidents then that number is around 25-30%. So we need to break down the numbers further. We can set the breeding door population around 40% of the herd or around 8M deer. If we account for the average birth rate of 1.5 fawns per doe each year that is 12M fawns. Now we must account for mortality rates which vary study to study from 33-68% so for ease we will use 50% for ear and that is 6M brought to adulthood. So if we have 6 million added that equates to right at the 30% rate necessary to hold population numbers when accounting for both hunting and natural deaths.

Just bought a new one last week

I'm 5"2 and I am never going to get any taller. Thank you for your advice.

I started with a Witcher 270wsm with a 26in bel.

I use a 270wsm for about 20yers I have taken 5 oryx with a130 gr GMX hornady bullets and get all most complete pass thru,bullets have been against the skin other side.I was a Thomson, now I am using browning cells canyon with a26 in barrel. All oryx in the last 15 years,

85 gr Sierra bthp just slams deer never had a deer run with one all drop

Thanks. Good advice. Answered a lot of questions for me.
