308 Winchester 165gr North Fork Semi Spitzer Ballistics Gel test

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

The 1970's called... and they are making fun of the ELD-X.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

For real!

[@DropItLikeItsScott]

That's interesting! Great show

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Thanks Brother

[@nicholasbarcomb2324]

Northfork does make an awesome bullet!!! I am waiting on the Woodleigh factory in Australia to begin full production again. They had a fire in their processing plant that destroyed over 70 percent of their equipment. Anyway, Woodleigh makes an awesome Protected Point Round Nose bonded bullet, too!!! Good luck and stay safe!!! 😉😉😉

[@AlaskanBallistics]

You too

[@stevenboggs5076]

Those look like a reliable option for anything within normal range. And they make them in 8mm too... 325 WSM enjoyers rejoice!

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Yes they do! Great Bullets. I'll have Affiliates and links for them soon.

[@inupik23]

Built exactly like the old trophy bonded bear claw. Good performance.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

I've heard that before. Maybe they acquired the rights? Or patent expire?

[@jayparnell7917]

​@@AlaskanBallisticsJack Carter's original Bear Claw had no grooves in the shank and used a different bonding process. Federal then purchased the rights and switched to gilding metal and then added large grooves to the shank. All different than NF's usage of pure copper, micro grooves, and double bonding process.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Makes sense. Thank you.

[@davidneal6920]

I like the controlled expansion on that one. Thanks Chuck 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Me too! Godspeed and good hunting to you and yours my friend.

[@jjgriffin3275]

i have always been ON the bandwagon of Soft Point bullets ammo, i get great accuracy and it just works on game!

[@AlaskanBallistics]

They do, As long as the softpoint ain't too small for game that's way too big...

[@M.H.D.actual]

Another awesome video, any plans on trying the new speer impact? Looks like a goddot but with a higher BC and ballistic tip. Maybe a new rival to the nosler accubond

[@AlaskanBallistics]

If I can get ahold of some projectiles

[@donaldmonroe8503]

Thank you, I will look for these.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Yes sir. Thank you for watching! Godspeed and good hunting to you and yours my friend!

👍👍 I thought the bullet did really well, thanks Chuck

Bitterroot bonded is a great design

[@AlaskanBallistics]

I'll have to check them out.

[@pabloco091]

Cool, gotta try them out

[@AlaskanBallistics]

You'll definitely like them

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Interesting concept. Looks very effective if it performs reliably. Agree with you for hunting applications. Thank you.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Thank you for watching and commenting on every video!

[@fluffy10mmjeepguy92]

👍👍..... nice... one day I'll get my reloading stuff set up and start reloading. Everything is still in boxes .

If you live Near me I would help you!

[@fluffy10mmjeepguy92]

@AlaskanBallistics ..... thanks, i appreciate it, but I'm in Michigan... I have to heal from surgery last week it's going to be 6 to 8 months of recovery. I'm a one-handed fluffy guy right now.

Nice to see you enjoy that AR10 in .308 😊

[@AlaskanBallistics]

I do and since i replaced the bad extractor in the failzero bcg, it's been 100% reliable

@@AlaskanBallistics I replaced my 308 PSA AR10 extractor and ejector with a JP enterprise branded ones and it’s been a dream shooting suppressed along with a superlative arms adjustable gas block 🥰

@@AlaskanBallistics I'm on the boat in Sitka at the moment hoping I'm done before hunting starts.

[@pink_love_cat4928]

Imr-4064 here in NC I'm lucky just to see a picture of that stuff 😅

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Lol i bought one can a while back just in case. Haven't seen it here in a while. But Ramshot TAC is in fairly good supply and a much better powder. More velocity.

[@TODinWY]

Those North Forks have a bonded-core front. They used to be made in WY. NOW they're made in Sweden and cost a couple of bucks a bullet. OY!!

[@AlaskanBallistics]

I didn't know that. Thanks

[@joew5792]

Semi spitzder every time lol good vid

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Thanks it works well.

[@220swift7]

Very impressive

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Agreed!

[@brianleverich4467]

I’ve been pretty content with 165 gr hornandy interlock for many years but have never used them on anything bigger than white tail and mule deer your bullet performed well similar to the nosler partition which I would choose if I was hunting tougher game . Are they cost competitive with other premium ammunition?

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Right now in the united states they're only available as reloading components, So yes they are price competitive with nozzle protection and swift aframe

[@poorfatman5317]

Good bullet ❤

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Yes they are

[@gs_firearms9673]

What upper are you using? I really like the look of it

[@AlaskanBallistics]

AeroPrecision CMV upper

[@lourensrudman4614]

Nice bullet

Thanks!

[@liverpool6380]

Hey I have a POF 13.75 P&W I just picked up a box of 130 grain Barnes Im going to use this setup this year with a suppressor for 🦌, & 🐗 What grain weights would you recommend for a shorter barrel? I’m leaning more towards the lighter loads to get that velocity up bc of the shorter barrel.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

I think you're on the right track. Let me know how fast it goes out of that barrel. 130gr barnes is an awesome bullet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/maushYmcaNd4nbMsi=vgvVLALx58NhzzLG

Realy good performance. Wonder how do from say a 30-06

[@JeremyLemke-s6g]

@@AlaskanBallisticsall joking aside, great video. Always interested in well constructed bullets that still expand at lower velocities in real life testing media since I’m a big 30-06 fan, Thank You.

[@merriamwebster2024]

600$ for a chronograph is ridiculous . Iv’e read the features for it and other than it being a coronagraph it wouldn’t be worth picking up.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

It doesn't have to be shot over and works in any light. It's very helpful when going to an official range when you don't have to set it up during cease fires

[@JeremyLemke-s6g]

The reason I’d pay $600 for it is because it will fit in your pocket and you can just set it on the bench.

[@shawnlively4753]

It's a lab radar in a compact GoPro size. Used one last weekend & loved it. It will even work when using a suppressor.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

@shawnlively4753 is amazing and easy to use

[@cory8791]

I hope it's at hunting range or the test is invalid to me!

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Find me a place to shoot... we shot at close range but used a lower velocity load to stimulate farther out

[@cory8791]

@@AlaskanBallistics are you really unfortunately not able to find 100 yards in Alaska to shoot? How do you sight in your rifle? No disrespect intended!

[@AlaskanBallistics]

@cory8791 I've got ranges i can go to to sight in, but not a place within close drive that will let you shoot pork shoulders and Ballistics gelatin etc... they don't want bears on the range with the smell of food. I've got to find land in the wilderness and it's boggy this time of year if it's open.
