Top Ten Predator Hunting Cartridges | TPH30

[@jamescapps7757]

Love the show guys. It has quickly become my favorite podcast! I haven’t tried the new calibers, but for now 25-06 with 85 grain Nosler Balistic Tips is my favorite for open country thermal coyote hunting. I know most will bag on it because it’s super old school, perhaps overkill, and burns a lot of powder. However, if you don’t care about those things, it’s the same trajectory as 22-250 w/55gr and has equal energy at 400 yards as the 22-250 has at at 200 yards. Almost always eliminates runners and makes recovery a whole lot easier at night. Keep up the good work!

[@txpredatorhunting]

We appreciate it.

[@JohnSanders-p7o]

Finally someone w some real world sense that isn't brain washed by the "box" manufacturing/ advertising !! Almost like hearing my own self talking. Helps me process and keep my head out of the fancy pictures of new stuf!!

[@ScalesandFur]

You will not beat the 204 ruger for 0-300 yard coyote shooting. 39 gr blitzkings are fantastic on fur as well.

[@BadVibeTribe]

I agree on the 223 comment of behind the shoulder, they’ll run. And yes, here on the east, I need them to drop. I’ve lost plenty of coyotes that had great hits but ran into the woods and couldn’t be recovered because it’s so thick. I’ve tried 88gr in my bolt 223 which worked great. 90gr in my 6.5CM also did great. But my go to is a 6ARC. 87gr VMAX goes over 2900fps with 18” PROOF and it crumbles them. Ultimately find what works for your application. Thanks for sharing. I think a lot of guys make recommendations based off what they think should work rather than seeing results in the field.

[@txpredatorhunting]

Agreed, thanks for watching.

[@poppy63765]

I thought we were talking about pesos had my hopes up

[@365DeathSquad1]

I love my 6 arc as well it definitely has been my favorite in my semi auto. I've been running the 70 gr noslers

[@heavy1715]

For 22-250 ar10 if you get Alex pro firearms 22-250 mag it functions flawlessly. It’s stupid expensive but I put a 250 together myself and ended up having to run it.

[@chris_2413]

May be old school and not up to modern snuff but I love the 22 hornet

[@weldmonger1560]

I love my 77 Ruger! Most accurate rifle I've ever shot and dropped plenty of dogs with no runners! If ur shooting 200 and in the hornet is nasty on yotes

[@johntownley9885]

First of all I love this channel and the content. I do a lot of hog hunting in SW Georgia and do most of it with the AR platform simply because it’s the fastest lead injection tool for what I do. I’ve used basically every cartridge that fits the AR15 platform and for what I do the 6.5 Grendel running the 115gr Barnes ttsx is just a hammer. I have fewer hogs run off than anything else I’ve personally used and I have tried the 6mm ARC in 18” barrel and it just wasn’t as effective. If I’m hunting coyotes I run a Remington 700 youth model in 243 and I run the 87 gr bergers and have killed dogs out to 400. I do run them on the hotter side but it’s a screaming laser beam and the coyotes don’t run they just DRT. Thanks again for all the content

[@MrRyanmcmahon]

8.6 blackout changed all the standard ideas about twist rate.

[@headcarter4656]

😮They never will kill the 22-250 and 243 at least for a long long time. I can push the 75gr bthp match from hornady in 22-250 to 3300 to 3350 fps and that is plenty good for whitetails and coyotes and also hogs. It is a hot load but it works great in my bergara 1in9 twist 22in barrel though. My new favorite cartridge is the 6arc, man it is awesome. I am getting 1.5to2in groups at 420y. And just the other day we went to our 600yrd range and was hitting the 3in plate at 600yrds almost every time once I figured out the hold. And I have only shot two coyotes with it with the 108gr eld-m and it dropped both of them.

[@ZachHunts]

I'm really late to this, but WOA barrels are GTG. They use Shilen blanks on the WOA marked barrels, and they have very high representation in Highpower shooting.

[@Patrick-xd8jv]

I run the 58’s at 3550 with a 22” 7.5 5r bolt gun and they are fantastic on Pdogs, and don’t blow up until it hits

[@806Guns]

Love my 6 arc just hate necking down 6.5 grendel brass and trimming.

[@BadVibeTribe]

I agree. And I had some slight issues with resizing the Grendel brass. I would recommend buying a case of factory ammo. ELDX 103s can be found for $30 a box. Then save all your brass to reload. It’s been working for me. Look up the BrassGoat for saving brass while out hunting with AR. I have never had a feeding issue from using this device. Hope this helps.

[@zachightower6698]

Great video! Currently running a 556 AR with 20 inch faxon Gunner barrel with 1 in 8 twist. What hornady bullet would you recommend for coyotes out to 250 yards?

[@Logan-zz5vg]

Hornaday 73gr eldm made for AR and is awesome

[@guycordle9038]

Keep up the great work guys! Your killing it

[@kylecarpenter40]

Any personal experience on lighter weight .243? I shoot 50 grain Nosler’s and can crank velocity’s and are super flat shooting. Southern Iowa we don’t have longer than 400 yard shooting

[@waynemensen4252]

My 6ARC 16" 1/7.5 hates 105 blk. Likes 103eld. Doesn't seem to like 95 LRX. 80ttsx is next up to try, for hog, and dogs.

[@waynemensen4252]

APF Alexander Profesional Firearms, had good luck with 22-250 AR's I believe.

[@randyarnell3592]

I have an APF in 204 20” SS barrel 1/2” groups factory ammo all day long !

[@calebhammerschmidt7386]

Alex pro firearms 22-250 has been working in ar 10 platform

[@shermrock345]

I believe for 6 arc you can use grendel brass and 7.62x39 brass. Watched a guy make them multiple times

[@waynemensen4252]

Have you shot 223 copper bullets at fur? I'm looking at 55 ttsx for hogs & dogs. I might run 55 ttsx on dogs.

[@txpredatorhunting]

We messed with solids a while back, wasn’t a fan .

[@waynemensen4252]

@@txpredatorhuntingdid they wreck the fur or not put them down hard enough for you?

[@klsnr1]

Couldnt agree more about your 223 comment!

[@lorenotake7745]

I have a custom 22-250 rem 700 action 1 in 8 criterion remage MTU contour. I shoot only 77 SMK under 1/8 inch groups.

[@rodlbaton8950]

Where do you hunt HOGS &/OR JAVELINAS HERE IN CALIFORNIA??! Does Anybody know??z!

[@wildernessgreggoodfellow2269]

Speaking on the 6mm Creedmoor I have the Springfield 2020 waypoint in their cheapest offering with the steel barrel and non adjustable stock. Its shooting the 87 grn vmax at 3/8" to 1/2 factory. Great gun and snacks coyotes with no remorse.

[@jkd0114]

Want to predator hunt grab a 12 gauge with a factory full choke add a red dot and pattern it with #4 buck. A red dot on top will help you be precise! Higher the pellet count the better. Now grab a .223 in a 50 gr projectile(hollow pt) . 3x9 scope.

[@jkd0114]

You should do a podcast where you just talk about all the great props you have on your set! Would love to hear some of the old calls as well as lights! This would make for some great content

[@txpredatorhunting]

We will put it on the list.

[@stupiditypissesmeoff330]

I put a coyote choke on my 870 , shooting 4 buck 44 pellet federal mags, went out and patterned it, idk if it’s choke and load combined, or if I’m just becoming a puss, but holy shitttt that bitch kicked, HARD. But man it patterned great out to 55-65 yards, and dumps them hard

[@M2OReefs]

Yup number 4 is the best

[@izaacportilo4010]

Good stuff Wade. On the 22-250 AR Platform, Specialized Dynamics (SD) has had great success with their builds. Only issue is they will tell you to not load more then 7 rds in a 10 rd magazine. Any more and it cause the magazine to bulge causing feeding issues.

[@txpredatorhunting]

Appreciate it.

[@HunTnTodd]

I had nothing but problems with Specialized Dynamics 22.250 . Not to mention there customer service sucked ….

[@stevenbekkering4323]

A buddy of mine at work is doing this exact build.

[@barrydeacon3551]

17/222 35 degree shoulder t neck, Molly coated 30 HPBT, Macmillan stock, jewel trigger, 4.5-14 leupold scope, shoots less than 1/4 inch all day… deadly out to 450-500

[@barrydeacon3551]

Barrel: shilen

[@hntnagn]

Have you thought anymore about doing a wildcat cartridge podcast???

[@stevenbekkering4323]

Im looking to build a 6mm arc ar. Proof research barrel. 14.5 or 16 in. Do you guys have any suggestions for gas block/forends. I love skinny forends like geissele, but few gasblocks fit. Looks like adjustable gasblocks are recommended. I will be hand loading

[@stevenbekkering4323]

Any advice helps

[@sc6802]

Wayde, i know there prob no way in hell you’ll see this older video, however, you seemed light on .223 savages and twist rates. there are a few more .223 offering then the walking varmint. savages makes a 22” .223 1 in 9 twist. model 110 tail hunter. Aug 1 2024 50$ manufacture, mailing coupon rebate

[@Jason_Oakes_SD]

Shooting the 70 grain blitzkings from a .243 or a 6 creed makes little difference. They both shoot great. 3400ft/sec from a 20 in barrel

[@cameronjohnson6838]

Got a Remington AR in 204 years ago 24” barrel 1:12. 32gr vmax smoked lots of animals in STX

[@stupiditypissesmeoff330]

I wish I’d bought that rifle at the time. At that actual time I thought it was over priced, maybe goofy looking, and didn’t trust a Remington AR or at least thought there was a lot better options. Turns out now, it would’ve been a good buy, damn good gun I’ve heard, and I wish I had that camo pattern 😂😂

[@cameronjohnson6838]

@@stupiditypissesmeoff330 ran mine so much I wore off most of the original camo and ended up painting it. The only thing I had to change was the 8lb trigger it had.
