Love to hear it, man. No such thing as too much gun. Personally, I'd go hunting with a gun that uses a lanyard for a trigger if I could. Of course, you'd ruin a lot of the meat, but you could get multiple kills in one shot if you line up the shot. So, there's that.

[@oncall21]

Great video Hooty. The Browning AB3 was released about five years ago (well it was down here at least). It was introduced to compete with the Winchester XPR and the Remington 783 budget rifles. I own a few Browning A Bolt 11 rifles that shoot extremely well. Nice couple of groups with the AB3! Thanks for sharing!

[@chrismills4213]

Love the 300 win mag…have taken a lot of Moose with the 300. It’s been my go to for Moose for the last 30 years. Awesome cartridge…Awesome performance.

[@chrisgunsandguitars1403]

I have a circa 1980 Remington BDL in 300 Win Mag. It does recoil a fair amount! Quite frankly I haven’t fired it much and maybe have half a box thru it. Adam….it behooves me that you don’t clean a new to you rifle before shooting it. At least start testing with a clean bore. Besides that you COULD have a serious carbon ring that could create pressure problems. I get it that most people hate cleaning rifles. Man I just put some Bluegrass on the boom box and get to it. Ron Spomer is correct that SOME rifles don’t like switching between all copper bullets and copper jacket bullets. I know you’re aware that Backfire proved this on a particular rifle.

[@ronaldworth3204]

I have one in that era, they are shooters.

[@ronsamborski6230]

The .300 Winchester Magnum was used plenty in 1000 yard competition shoots. If it was an inherently inaccurate cartridge, I doubt that competition shooters would have used it.

[@chrisgunsandguitars1403]

I know Navy Seals were using the 300 Win Mag because I shot beside them at my local range one winter about 2002. They had a crate of customized 300 WM, and were in town doing cold weather training according to their CO who spoke with me. The CO was shooting his personal 300WM and it was topped off with a Schmidt and Bender scope. A brand that was unfamiliar to me at the time. He gave me all his brass!

For what it's worth, I put a trigger spring in my AB3 and it improved dramatically. I believe it was from MCarbo. I'm not paid by them, just have their product and it works well.

I have an AB3 in 270 Win that was the first rifle I bought when i first started hunting. It shoots great and came with a vortex scope in package for about $620. My son shoots it now and has good luck with it.

[@raytribble8075]

I am a big time 300WM fan. I own 48 different calibers and like them all. But, my Barrett 98B in .300WM topped with a 5-20x50mm Huskemaw Blue Diamond has taken game from 80 to 1188 yards. That Browning is an underrated rifle. Great video sir.

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

I knew of AB3s since 2018-19 when I was looking for a 30 cal like 300 WM or 300 WSM to compliment my 270 Win. Anyway I’m glad you found it too and it shot well for you with certain ammo

[@jeffreyadams5017]

The 300 win mag is the best big game caliber on the planet, for factory available ammo and rifles and not needing shoulder surgery after you shoot it. It will put down anything on the planet. Yes in Africa there are caliber restrictions for the dangerous five. Jim shockey took a cape buffalo with two shots. All things considered, for big game hunting the 300 win mag is still the king.

[@Justin-pq3rq]

It’s king in north America. But Africa I would go with the .416 Remington. As far as availability and not too much recoil.

[@mollybug9325]

My #2 son and his/my 2 grand daughters have the AB3's in 30-06 when they hit 12 years old that was their birthday gift. I haven't seen their accuracy yet. My son's have taken elk with their 06's AB3, but they are 30 years old. I only load my own now and they, seem to like Hornady 165 lead core SST's bullets. I neck size also and mark each box for each rifle. I like the Brownings and I am looking almost bought one of their xbolt target in 300wm , but they ran out of them when Sportsman's Warehouse had a great sale. All-well it wasn't meant to be.

Look into 6.5 creedmoor if you still want to shoot long range with low recoil. Broke my shoulder a decade back and 6.5 lets me hunt at distance without the punishment.

[@curtis6554]

try a muzzle break. I had surgery on my spine in my neck and it hurt shooting anything above a 308. put a muzzle break on my 30-06 and 300 win mag and now they reoil like your 243.

[@J.Hunter7mmRemMag]

I have a Browning A-Bolt 3 chambered in 30-06 and it groups great (specially the SST 165 gr in 0,35 MOA). It was my first rifle and I took my first red stag with it here in Spain. I usually use it for driven hunts and it has never disappointed me. I´ve shot a lot of wild boars, red deer and fallow deer with it and I love it. The bolt runs very well for the price and I like the trigger too. (For stalking and long range hunting I use a Tikka T3X Superlite in 7mm Rem Mag). Love your videos!! 😃

[@BrianWhite-q5x]

I've had great results with federal premium safari 180gr nosler partitions. Far as factory loads go along with the 180gr fusion and federal blue box with the Sierra flat base 180gr bullets. I'm down to two 300win mag rifles. And ruger 77 top tang safety and Remington 700 bdl with the blued stainless barrel that was my dad's. It's and absolute tac driver with the 180gr partitions and I reload 165gr partitions and 150gr accubonds for the ruger 77. Most people don't like this much recoil and even fewer can get past it. I don't really give it much thought I killed a buck with that 700 bdl back in 92 when I was 14 and 125lb I'm 47 now and 140lb so I just have to ride the lightning. Just remember nothing makes up for poor shot placement .

[@ronsorrentino6207]

Well since we love telling you about Ron Spomer and the copper ammunition after lead, have you tried what he said and thoroughly cleaning the barrel and then trying copper ammunition to see if it makes a difference in how it groups? Huh, have you, huh, huh? lol Seriously, since you’ll have the perfect chance to test this, and since you’ll be having a part 2 for this rifle and it’s ammunition testing, before going to the range for the part 2, maybe thoroughly clean the barrel and then try any and all copper tipped ammunition you have for it, and shoot it first? Just to see if it groups differently, better? Either way, as always Hoot, great video!

A 300win mag seems like a whole lotta gun for the tiny deer you good ole boys have in your neck of the woods. As well I’ve always found it strange that people will shoot 180gr out of a 06 but when they step up to the 300 mag they drop way done in bullet weight. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of a magnum. And is often why they find it so destructive on game.
