I don’t even know where to begin with this kind of advice. Accuracy before everything was the first statement…..and then the rest of the video was about how 300 grain bullets are everything. Accuracy in all hunting scenarios? Or just when set up on a bipod, at the perfect distance for your cartridge, with a dead rest, and not winded from hiking etc etc.

[@beware3586]

The deer I took this year was a bit awkward. I grabbed the wrong gun when I found my buck and was more surprised by the recoil than the deer dropping like a sack of potatoes. 190 grain CX out of a 300 PRC at 115 yards. Good news is that mono bullet always does its job and really doesn’t do much collateral damage. It’s all edible anyways. Also, I will NEVER tell my wife she was right that I should have ordered these rifles in different colors. Good thing I didn’t miss because all the ammo not already in the magazine was for my .270

[@anamericanpatriot5230]

true words ! I'm in my 60's . I started my life with a 243 and keeping all previous rifles moved up thru the chain and back down to the 338 Lapua. I shoot 250 & 300 grain Nosler Accubonds and 300 grain Berger Hybrids. This 338 lapua is insanely accurate with those bullets . I am sad that Retumbo is basically unavailable any more where I'm at but get fantastic results with 2 other powder choices . also many moons ago when Speer bullets was still "Speer" they had a 250 grain grand slam , remember those , if I knew where I was hunting that day and my shots were never more than 50 yds that bullet was amazing for a simple lead core bullet..... adding my next favorite cartridge is the 7mmmag 160 gr. these rounds make a fella smile

[@jeremystyron9721]

Quarter minute magnum is right about Big heavy bullets hitting hard . I've also used lighter monolithic, cup&core, ballistic-tips and swift scirocco bullets that make a fist size hole on entire and a valley ball size hole on the exit. My 375-RUM with the 260gr Nosler ballistic-tips will almost cut a deer in half just the hide holding it together. I Shot a Elk at 200yrds he dropped like a rock . I totally destroys both front shoulders with that 260gr Nosler ballistic-tips. And had a complete pass through. I couldn't believe the amount of devastation i was looking at like you stuck both shoulders in a meat grinder . My favorite bullets are brass and copper monolithic bullets, nosler ballistic tips, and the swift scirocco and partition bullets for hunting. My first 338-cal I still own is a 338-win mag . It's an Awsome cartridge I've used for years and a 338-06-AI. Then my dad wanted more power for heavy bullets . So he built a 338-416-Rigby improved. It hits like a freight train almost dubble the 338-win. Later down the road I bought the 338-RUM . I love that cartridge . In my opinion, the 338-RUM is the best 338-cal SAAMI spec cartridge on the market. Quarter minute magnum is also right about the 338-RUM and the whole RUM family. They are overlooked and unappreciated. If you want a really hard-hitting 338-cal . Look up the 338 Wolverine. I love mine it's a 500 Jeffery necked up to 338-cal. We push a 300gr 3260fps. The pig man from Pig-Man TV built a 338 Twisted Pig . Talk about a Pig slayer, lol . I Really like wildcat cartridges and improving SAAMI spec cartridges. Their are more wildcat and SAAMI spec cartridges on the market than you could ever imagine. What I don't understand is this new 7mm back country with a steel alloy case . When we have 6 different configurations of Brass and 2 of them can handle pressures over 80,000 PSI and 1 can handle pressures of 88,000 PSI . So why steel alloy? Makes no sense at all. Thank you for sharing. It's always a pleasure to hear from you. And Quarter minute magnum for a bonus Hell Yeah. God bless you and your family.God bless America 🇺🇸 🇨🇱🇺🇲🇨🇱🇺🇲🇨🇱🇺🇲🇨🇱.

Thin skin game is not much of an issue for my experience. Like small Texas Hill country Whitetail coyotes bobcat. Bigger planes, game animals like scimitar oryx I will not recommend. My wife had her 30-06 loaded with I believe 175 match Kings. Wounded a scimitar oryx. They do not penetrate deep enough and it was a very, very tough recovery of this animal. We probably tracked it by a mile before I could do a finishing shot with my 300 win mag. Since that’s been almost 20 years ago and I still won’t use match bullets or cups core bullets for large game.

[@Cool-hand-hunting]

My brother in law used 4 Hornady 168 gr A-Max out of his 300 WM on a whitetail because he saw a post saying that match bullets are better for hunting. He shot it 4 times at under 100 yards over a few hours period before it finally died. It had been bullet failure after bullet failure each time. The high speed and a frangible bullet were a nightmare for him. Kudos to him for not giving up on the deer and continuing to try and find it. Neither of us will do that any more. I switched to all copper because I don’t want to eat any lead and shoot a 6.5-300 Weatherby at 3530 fps and don’t want it to grenade on a moose/elk/caribou where I’m at in BC. But I like his idea of using match bullets if you have a big enough bullet that it won’t matter if it grenades because it’s big enough to penetrate anything before it does. Then again I think Adam Grenda just switched from doing just that in Alaska because it took 6 shots to kill a moose with his 338 with match bullets. He now is trying Barnes because they actually penetrate. But I’m just basing that on his IG stories.

Brother, if you hunt with it, $5 vs $1.50 per round is negligible. If you target shoot and reload it, that’s different. Also that entire 5,000lbs of energy does not in fact impart into the deer as that round still has considerable energy out the other side. I own and target shoot a Christianson MPR carbon 338 Lapua among many other rifles and it’s not that much more expensive in the grand scheme. You also don’t tend to shoot it as much as .308/6.5 so there’s that 😂.

No problems, no evidence of performance issues that I've seen so far. Impossible to tell any difference between those and any hunting bullet I've ever used when examining entry, exit holes and vitals in between. The whitetail does I'm taking are between 125 and 150 pounds and the bucks have been from 145 to 250 pounds. You've seen the videos of my mule deer falling to the 168 VLD in 7RemMag.

[@seanwiechman3761]

We understand most bullets perform well in killing animals. The concern is alot of us hunt for the meat as well, and some bullets that are more frangible tear up more meat than others. He is right, though there is no perfect balance. I like 120-140 LRX and TTSX from Barnes. They are consistent, and I have noticed they hit hard, if not harder, than other bullets that are heavier.

[@texpatriot8462]

While I respect his opinion, I completely disagree with his recommendation that people use the biggest caliber possible for the 1 gun, 1 bullet scenario. That means carrying a very heavy rifles, firing extremely expensive ammo, and absorbing an enormous amount of recoil for the most extreme 0.1% shot scenario. IMO - the one cartridge, one bullet choice needs to be selected to perform best in a window that will encompass 95% of the bell curve of shots the shooter is ever possibly going to take. There are no game animals in NA which cannot be ethically shot with a 7mm (280AI and up) or a 3O cal (30-06 and up) 99.9%of the time. If I only got to shoot 1 bullet and 1 cartridge, I would run 175g Partitions or ABLR's (the most accurate of the two) out of my 280AI.

🤠 Question #2: I've Owned a 338 Lapua and 308 Lazzeroni Warbird in a Sako TRG-S! These Cartridges Have Blown "Bowling Ball Sized" Exit Holes In Elk! Are You Hunting "Just To Kill" or For The Actual Meat? 🍔🌮

[@quarterminutemagnums]

When you are 20+ miles from the trail head, a bit less meat is not a bad thing.

[@RON-m8c]

🫣 I Don't Believe in Wasting Game Animals! But, I Do My Game Processing Immediately Upon The Kill and Leave The Excess Weight on The Mountain! 👨‍🎓

[@Snailz5]

One cartridge, one bullet is and always will be a dumb and pointless argument and we will never stop having it. It doesn’t matter. It’s never mattered. There isn’t a single person who can afford to hunt all North American big game but can’t afford two rifles. It’s looking for a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist and there is no definitive answer. The diversity in cartridges is what makes them interesting, but having the same old debates over and over and over again is just tiresome.

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

Ok

[@jefferywilliams7687]

Some of it is true and some is BA. I would not recommend shooting an of the big 5 with a Burger Bullet

[@bashole5925]

Way too much gun unless your shooting 500 plus yds. If you hit bone it's going to shred the animal. I would guess your not hunting to eat it. I've seen way to many deer turn to mush by people using these big fast magnum calibers. Elk, moose no idea but deer i think it's too much gun. I love your passion for your favorite. Use what works for you.

Thanks for watching

[@EternalClimb]

So.... Everyone just needs to go up to a .338 so that we can use match bullets? Nah. If your true concern is accuracy then go with a comfortable shooting caliber and give it a strong bullet to do it's job.

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

Just his opinion.

[@quarterminutemagnums]

No other combination can exceed 2,000 Ft.Lbs of energy at 900+ yards.

[@ISeeYouToo-Ido]

.300WinMag with 180gr NAB or ABLR. Nothing in North America survives this, and there's no need to go any larger. It's pointless.

[@quarterminutemagnums]

Out of energy past 600 yds......................

[@ISeeYouToo-Ido]

@quarterminutemagnums Don't tell that to the dead elk on my wall, a couple of which were single shots around 850 yards. 🤣 And, one Oryx in NM, was farther, but it was shot with a pretty hot loaded 200gr NAB.

[@quarterminutemagnums]

@@ISeeYouToo-Ido Math is math............

[@ISeeYouToo-Ido]

@quarterminutemagnums 100% agree. And, the math clearly shows, with the right loading, the 180gr NAB and ABLR (and the 200gr in both), among several other bullets, will kill large game much farther than 600 yards, and small to medium game well past 1200 yards. Bipedals check out even past a mile.

[@awsomedude12345678]

A bullet that shoots under 1 moa is good for any ethical hunting distance any reloader worth their salt can achieve this with almost any bullet The notion of purposely using bullet that may not expand for hunting is a stupid idea Test buy a bull barrel savage for $400 a decent scope and a box of factory ammo I guarantee you that a person that is a good shot can shoot better groups with it at 100yds than a random joe with a prs rifle Practice makes smaller groups patience makes perfect shots on game I am currently shooting 1/4 moa at 200yrds with my 270 with speer softpoints and a Winchester xpr Precision and good hunting bullets are not mutually exclusive the benefits of perfect bullets are only realized a extreme range beyond the point of expansion

[@orr89rocz]

Ppl will say its overkill but it works lol its why i use my 458 win mag on whitetail. 338 rum brass is available from adg which has been good brass for my 28 nosler.

[@hopefulballistics]

Hahaha! 223 Fanboy crying meme! 😂

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Tell me a 300 grain giant high speed projectile is so magical, when a 6mm Creedmoor can drop an elk at 860 yards like you turned the lights out, and it doesn't move or get back up. And it's not a fluke. Because it's not about doing things by rote, by tradition, by methods told by all the other guys who did stuff for decades by rote. Explain the "why's" about terminal ballistics. Or keep on repeating rote traditions and slogans.

[@ReloadingWeatherby]

6mm Creedmoor at 860 yards on Elk huh? That's just dumb.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@ReloadingWeatherby Regardless of what you think it is, the point is, physics accomplished a feat. I wouldn't do this myself because i don't possess the skills to make that a usual and confident feat. But that's not my point. The point is taking down an animal isn't all the usual trope, slogans, discussions that the hunting world is jammed with.

🤔 Question #6: Have You Ever Seen a Frangable Bullet Vaporize Upon Impact and Never Penetrate The Elk? I Have and It Didn't Work! 🫣

[@dantep5570]

Did you recover the elk with something else or just miss and couldn't admit it. Any object going that fast won't "blow up on the skin or fail to penetrate". Maybe seperate or fragment bit it will still pass through a fair amount of animal. I had a 168 eldm punch both bull elk shoulders and exit. Seen the same with bergers.

[@RON-m8c]

@dantep5570 🕵‍♂️ Why Your Wrong? I've Owned Several Wildcat Cartridges Faster Than Any Commercial "Big Game Hunting Cartridge" on The Market! Back 1/2 Century Ago They Used To Call Magnums "Mangleums" Because They Weren't Effective Killers Without a Well Constructed Bullet! It Was Common Knowledge...Something That Has Been Lost on Subsequent Generations! Of Couse, The Average Person's IQ Has Been in Decline For Several Decades Too! 🤪

[@quarterminutemagnums]

300g bullets don't vaporize........on anything less than T1 or AR500.

[@RON-m8c]

@quarterminutemagnums 🕵‍♂️ I Would Agree, But You Didn't Specify That in Your Video! And, Most People Aren't Hunting With a 338 Lapua or 338 "Anything"! So, Recommending a Frangable Bullet When Someone is Using a 25-06 or 6.5 Creedmore on Elk Would Be Disasterous! Wouldn't You Agree? 🤪

[@RON-m8c]

@quarterminutemagnums 🤔 Now, Remember Your Boyscout Code? In My State, It is Illegal to Waste Any Part of a Game Animal! I Am Trustworthy To Obediently Follow The Game Laws Loyally, Courteous and Helpful To Other Hunters and Respectfull to The Animals (With Reverence), Use a Thrifty Cartridge To Make a Clean Kill With Kidness, Brave Every Element To Cheerfully Chase The Animals Through Every Terrain, and Friendly To The Game Wardens! 👮‍♂️👨‍⚖️

Question # 8: Is One Bullet or One Caliber The "Best Choice" To Hunt Everything? If So, Then Why Aren't We All Using The Same Thing To Hunt With? 🫠
