Precisely, and it super waxy when cold. Leaves your teeth coated. Yuck 🤣

True about metric and imperial, until the 6.5 creedmoor :) but you are right on the money. Americans will favor american 'caliber'. For American VS European hunter I think its just geographical, the largest animal we have here are Grizzly, and up there in Alaska, most guides prefer 45-70 with a 400gr at low velocity, the bullet hold together with deeper penetration instead of shading weight and shattering. More energy being dispelled on the animal that way. Fast and small(double the speed quadruple the energy) also dispel lots of energy based on the bullet construction, the 270 has killed lots of Elephants, but I certainly wouldn't use that against an angry Buffalo. :)

I'm getting reports that the PRC's aren't getting the advertised velocities. The 6.5 and 7 are respectively short and long action, meanwhile the 300prc is a magnum length action, longer than the . 375 H&H Magnum more like a hand canon :) That being said, what's the point of so much force? Like you said the 7mmRM can drop anything. With easy to get ammo, and the range of bullets type in the 7mm is just insane. My next rifle is certainly going to be a 7mm. .284 Shehane maybe :) Cheers mate!

I'm extremely jealous of your 6.5Grendel :) If you ever wanna part with it! lemme know X) Mine is currently gathering battle scar like a champ, it getting some character.

I'll look into that :) Cheers!

I'm glad I could help! Diy mechanic is a total pita sometimes.

Yeah I use brown sugar a lot, unrefined. Healthier but... Still sugar 🤣

@@WildBushGrit so if I can’t find “unrefined brown sugar” can I just use white granulated sugar?

@@paulseymour9591 yes absolutely, I've done it several time with normal sugar.

You can drill the screw out.

​@@WildBushGritI'm slowly drilling and scraping around the screw. I'll get there 👍

@@craymex yeah man, patience 😊 good luck.

Go for it if the price and conditions are good! Which cartridge is chambered in?

Yes I do have more to share, I don't know if you watched part 2, but one my kill wasn't as good as I expected, I only understood years later. Distance shouldn't exceed 100 yards. Even if on paper it seems you have enough energy up to 200-250 yards, the rapidly speed drop and the twist rate can makes the bullet veer inside the animal. Even if my shot placement was good, the bullet went right as soon as it hit the deer at almost a 45 degree angle. The bullet at 150 yards get overstabilized and the nose points up as the bullet drop. I explained it in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoSQpJaiqq5gp7M Thank you! Cheers!

Just in case, I did used a fridge in this process, the stainless box is my fridge. But having said that, you can do some curing without fridge, the main thing to make sure is #1 Absolutely no bugs shall even touch the raw meat and #2 you need plenty of wind and ventilation around the meat.

These were for my turkey loads, #5 or #6 shots. If you stick to publish data you shouldn't need to worry. Yes undercharge is real and very dangerous. Your slug might get stuck in the barrel, you'd think you missed, fire a 2nd shell, and boom! you just blew up your shotgun with potential life threatening injuries to you or people nearby. My best advice is get a reloading data booklet, and don't stray away from it until you have a good grasp of what is happening and know exactly what you are doing.

@WildBushGrit thank you so much friend

Interesting! First time im hearing about these birds. Do they have red meat? they are actually from the same Family as the Ptarmigan, Phasianidae. Let me know how it turns out :) Cheers!

Will do, they also have red meat. Cheers from Africa

Thank you!

lol thanks :) We are about to build a 6mm arc for my friend too, I hope to challenge him with my 6.5Grendel, I know the Arc should smoke it, but maybe the shooter will make the difference lol.

You bet it works! and it make subsequent cleaning much faster too. Welcome to the club!

My pleasure! let me know if you have any question! Cheers!

Yep, that's what we called them at home too :)

Hey Raymond, yes, all is good, thank you, ☺️. I hope for you, too. I have lots of content coming in soon. I've been busy with work. (Writing from India) Everything will go back to normal in a few weeks 😁. Thanks for checking in! Cheers!

Yes Sir, I sure get that, I did a stint in college and training for a couple years for my job too. No time to barely breathe! Looking forward to seeing content. Please do some more shotgun reloading videos!

I agree, but it still fun 😊

It shifts a little bit your impact point. The first few shots are usually ignored. As to why, I guess it fills up some irregularities in your barrel, the bullet will glide and spin differently in your barrel, enough to see a slight shift at 100 yards . Hope that sums it up :) cheers!

This is serious power! Sounds about perfect for any dangerous game in thick brush situation.

The current problem with 6.8 is the brass availability. The winchester's is too soft, after 3 reloads, the primer pocket gets slack. Lapua now makes 300PRC, it pricey, but once reformed, they are going to hold up well for load dev.

What is the muzzle velocity out of the 26.5" heavy barrel with 123 grain bullet?

Yes usually curing time was during fall, before winter could freeze anything. You can do the whole process without Fridge, but its always comes with uncertainties when it comes with bacteria and food poisoning. Keep everything well ventilated, you will get white mold, which is fine. But if you get dark sticky slime, you need to throw away. Any foul smell, and you throw away. Using curing salt is also to be considered. Thanks!

I agree, its confusing the way I said it. I meant the powder should be sealed between the wad and the base, but didn't meant to say that the wad and the base needed to contact for a seal.

Darn right! it needs saving, it needs more people talking about it!

If only Howa , Bergara, Nosler and Barnes were to jump in the fray, it would be a total game changer.
