I bought a new Winchester in 25-35 but it only has a 20 inch barrel. I would love to have a model 64 with a 24 inch barrel and have a rechambered to a 25-35 Ackley improved. As much as I love the original cartridge, there is so much untapped potential. there just waiting to be opened up!

Excellent video as always. God has blessed you very well having the cinnabar. It takes a true hunter and marksman to take that beautiful deer in open country. God bless.
@williamkaiser80672 ай бұрын
250 measured yards with a .25-35??? According to rough calculation on my part, that bullet MIGHT have between 700 and 800 foot pounds energy at that distance. The "book hunters" would say you shouldn't take the shot - not enough energy. It just goes to show, yet again, that it's not numbers that kill an animal, it's shot placement. (Although an element of luck never hurts!) Congratulations on the shot. That buck is a dandy.

The traditional rules were created due to poor hunter habits. 1000 ft-lbs for a white tail is one of those rules. 1500 ft-lb for an elk is another rule. More rules like minimum caliber/cartridge for specific game. More rules like gauging animals by weight. All of this stuff is because hunters don't understand terminal ballistics and projectile construction. Wounded game stats are easily the highest among archery hunters. Among rifle hunters, often the only knowledge they rely upon is traditions, hear-say, and game and wildlife caliber standards (designed to minimize lousy hunters wounding game). You can have a 6.5 Swede far out-perform a .300 Win Mag just by choosing an excellent projectile in the 6.5 and a lousy projectile in the .300, even if shot in the exact same place. That bucks against traditions and standards and hear-say. I'd say the most muddy place of understanding among hunters is animal anatomy, projectile construction, and terminal ballistics. It's treated like some kind of voodoo magic.

@@camwinston5248 We know that the persistence of knowledge-lack doesn't go away, because people keep repeating tired slogans over social media under just about any hunting related video content. There's even self-promoted gunsmiths, rifle builders, game hunting podcasts, outdoors podcasts and such that perpetuate these myths and garbage information (especially if they have a manufacturer sponsorship). It doesn't take a genius to realize that even decades of experience in the field doesn't equate to understanding. You can have a lot of luck, or simply settle into a method that you find acceptable and think that's all there is about ballistics and hunting. None of that equates to knowing how it works. It's really not magic, voodoo, or quantum physics. It just takes pulling out of all the nonsense the media and industry repeats and holding fast to fundamental facts.

That was a dandy buck, Mark. You were always a good shot, even when we were growing up. You're not much younger than I am, but I'd be lucky to even see horns at that distance. I'd also be pretty darned unlikely to be hitting anything with open sights at that range, even with a rest. Offhand... well, I might as well throw rocks at 'em. Thanks for another fun hunting adventure, even with the technical hiccups. I always enjoy watching your hunts.

Congratulations on your hunt!!! You also convinced me, once and for all, that the .25-20 and .25-30 calibers are indeed capable of taking deer! I had my doubts even though I know of three elderly farmers who utilize Winchesters they inherited from their fathers, in those calibers, to take Mid -Atlantic and Southeastern white tail deer, feral hogs, cayotes, and other game animals as well as farm pests on a regular basis.

Great job as usual. Any idea on the Energy from the load you worked up. Heck of a shot, plenty of gun. I thought .25 .35, was a hair under power over 100yds. I love that land, more than the hunting these days. And there's still deer, even with the wolves around, just so long as it stays that way right. Really a nice way to start my Saturday morning - thanks for sharing that beautiful old shooter and your hunt.

Deer hunting started to go downhill years ago when ODFW started giving out so many doe tags also. I was a youngster then but remember seeing lots of bucks every time we went out.

Well you had a lot better hunt then I did my son and I hunted all over the place and we didn’t even see one deer a few guys had them in camp But the area that we had to hunt was just too many people. I don’t think you have that problem on the Cinnabar.
