Ep. 046 - Deer Season at Hornady

[@daveknowles3055]

Love the idea of visiting the staff for opinions and options, made for an enjoyable change from the regular format.

[@michaelnelson1911]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. The only tag that I was able to draw this year was a Utah elk. I finished up on Tuesday and we got our elk. What a good time. I was able to hunt with two of my sons. I am went with a browning x-bolt in 270 with a Vortex 4 - 16 X 50 Viper HSLR. I used 140 grain bullet, and it did the trick.

Love to hear all the plans and excitement building. Please do a follow up to share some successful hunts. For me, the season ended early… Oklahoma rifle hunt, opening day, I took the biggest whitetail buck of my life. 230 yard shot with a .308, firing a 150 grain Interlock. My 14 year old nephew that I’m mentoring also shot a very impressive 9 point whitetail with the same round. Both were very quick kills, with the accuracy I’ve come to count on from Hornady. Thank you for making such quality products. My hunts and hobbies are that much better, because of them.

S.W. Michigan. 350 Legend AR, suppressed. Got a 4pt on the 16th. Got 3 more tags to fill. 1 buck, 2 does. Lots of snow here.

[@davidhochstetler4068]

6 ARC with the 103’s did outstanding this year. Now load some 87’s so I can go after the yotes!

[@juanoctaviosandoval3185]

Awesome podcast. Love hearing the cartridges ur staff are using. Says a lot about the 6.5 creedmoor.

[@jasonrad9332]

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode, like all. Really cool how you guys toured the office for input.

[@diggernash1]

I really enjoy having rifle season from October 22 to January 8; but I would enjoy it even more if you shipped some of those corn fed bucks down here. Browning AB1, .308 Winchester, 125 grain handloads; with a Tasco Worldclass 2-7. The rifle was my 11 year old Christmas present and unless something breaks, no changes will ever be made to it. 37 years later and it still just works. I do have several other options that I take to the woods periodically, but this rifle has the nostalgia factor. Or, more often, my crossgun nestled up to houses in suburbia...lol.

[@Chris-liwymi]

I’m running 6.5 grendel 27.8 grains of blc 2 powder 129 gr spire point 20 inch barrel

[@stevecarpenter98]

Have a good hunt. I wish I could go home to Nebraska to hunt.

[@veteranironoutdoors8320]

Ive been using the 6.5mm 135gr A tip to outstanding effect this season!

[@phild9813]

We’re pretty much wrapped up where I live in Wyoming. Didn’t use any Hornady this year, but I have some 165 grain 308 cx I haven’t shot yet. Hoping it shoots well so I can use it next year.

[@paulscountry456]

I have taken four big deer with Eld x, more with Interlock.

[@davidlaroche8928]

Looking forward to seeing pictures on a follow up podcast

[@338federalshooter8]

I am mentoring a new hunter that has taken two bucks. First one with 300 Blackout and the secomd with 308 win. the blackout was with winchester ammo because no Hornady has been available in my area. The second with Precision Hunter. First buck took a clean up shot with my 6.5 PRC in Precision Hunter and second buck was bang -drop.

[@paulscountry456]

I shot a huge mule deer last month with ELD x in 6.5 c at nearly 300 , got a short of it on my channel, not much for horns but huge body.

[@davidhandyman7571]

Here in Australia, we have deer season that starts 60 seconds before 0001 on January 1 each year and finishes 60 seconds after 2359 on December 31 that same year. No permits required unless on public land and no limit on the number taken. Deer are not native to Australia but have become too prevalent in many areas. The big controversy is whether to manage deer numbers or eradicate them.

[@MrDraylox]

Savage 110 in 7MM-08, 150 gr ELD-X reloads @2810 fps. Will be hunting South Dakota West River for Mule Deer.

[@jamesmooney5348]

Well, year for the 7mm prc for the guys at Hornady. Can I work there? I mean from home, here in AZ.

[@jeremiah7855]

Can't wait for November 26th for md rifle season hunting with 6.5 creedmoor 140gr norma whitetail sp or norinco sks with hornady 123gr sst 7.62x39 of course because I can thought about using a 6inch 357 mag revolver even dan wesson model 15

[@kylemartin832]

What's the next PRC? I'm seeing a 6mmPRC same case but bumped back shoulder plenty of head hight 2.8oal or 8.6mm PRC necked up 300 for the ultimate stomper!

[@trentsnaza3372]

I'm not bashing Hornady bullets! I use mostly Hornady but does Hornady pay you guys extra for using their calibers?? Just curious is all.

[@krisshepherd740]

Om shooting a Bergara Ridge 270win. Killed 6 bucks so far with the 145gEldx over the last few years. Mule deer and Black. Shot my first buck with a 130g cx in November. All performed awesome.

[@krisshepherd740]

I use a Leupold VX5 3 x 15 scope.

[@phillipbrandenburg2105]

264 win mag with a 129 interbond at 3250 hopefully you guys make some of those 6.5 129 interbonds soon I'm running low will probably kill a doe in a late doe season

[@kellysatterfield5384]

What cartridge is everyone using in their 6.5 Creedmoor? Precision Hunter 143 gr ELD-X???? Thanks

[@wyattgraham5711]

I had my 300 prc set up with a 178 eldx. Didn’t get to use it for my Utah elk hunt.

[@bobpena1490]

A good whitetail bullet in 6mm rem is your 87 bthp wish you were still making then hard to find

[@joshhowell8654]

Just emailed my hunting groups story and success pictures.

[@donseman7524]

MO Nov 12 got a 9 pointer 🦌

[@donseman7524]

6.5 PRC Savage ultralight

[@SuspiciousGanymede]

Got a nice buck with 55gr .223 vmax last week, DRT with a heart shot. Wouldn't do it again though, very limited penetration. Why is there no bonded polymer tip .223? Winchester beat you guys to the punch with their deer season XP. CX bullets have too much penetration, your interlock SP isn't very accurate, that left me with 53gr and 55gr vmax. If I had some I would've used the 75gr BTHP but that's not a hunting bullet.

[@powerbagle]

I used the 75 gr. It worked, but no blood trail. Probably going to get a 6.5 Grendel upper for next year.

[@SuspiciousGanymede]

@@powerbagle im thinking the exact same thing. 6.5 grendel upper for hunting, 5.56/223 for plinking/home defense.

[@jeffreywilson690]

If the majority of you at Hornady weren't hunters you wouldn't be able to design the products as well. But I'm still waiting on the 6 mm PRC LOL
