Understanding Shot Placement | Bulls, Bullets, and Ballistics with NOSLER!

[@matthewmcguire5217]

I was expecting diagrams of elk and where you should be aiming from different angles by the title of the video?!

[@SpudOutdoors]

Now make a high bc accubond long range for the 25 cal.

Be nice if I could find Nosler bullets in stock!

[@MichaelMiller-ww9iy]

I found some, and they have defects. I even sent photos to Nosler, and it fell over deaf ears.

Where can I get the Accu-marshmallow bullet?

The Marshmallow bullet is best used on Chocolate or Cinnamon bears!

I absolutely love Randy, but the Nosler series of videos have been just commercials without much value to me. Bullet design has been turned on it's head (actually just restored to what has always worked) by great compilations on various forums of actual results on animals, with actual forensic evidence references added as well. So it's hard to get away with pedaling nonsense. This one is a great example of a commercial without any actual value. No actual discussion of how bullets kill or whether you'd use a different bullet for different shot placement, which it seems to imply. Awkward to put it politely.

I second that. I was hoping for more infomation. Check out the Hornady podcasts. Well made, no BS and top technical information.

I have major concerns with the 6.5 CM after personally watching folks shoot deer then help them track them. I have seen very poor results no matter shot placement with 3 different varieties of ammo. Shoulder shots through lung & heart, high shoulder lung only, neck... Winchester & S&B both in Soft point and Barnes TTSX. I have seen better performance with 243 / 24cal which is a smaller & shorter projectile over the 6.5 / 26cal. I have have a theory that the 6.5's longer projectile that is moving faster has proven to not expand as much as other rounds in the real world. I think the longer projectile is having a harder time to expand than that of a shorter projectile like the smaller Caliber in 243 resulting in smaller entrance & exit holes in 6.5CM than that of the 243. Entrance & exit holes on deer are barely visible with 6.5CM after combing hair back resulting in lack of blood from several SP loads as well as Barnes TTSX. Last year my buddy's son shot a buck through both shoulders, ran for over 200yds & didn't leave a blood trail with Winchester SP. This year shot another buck that ran over 200yds marginal blood lost the deer after loosing blood trail. Shot a doe at 60yds, deer was found 75yds from where it was shot. Back tracked blood trail for only 20yds so deer failed to bleed for first 55yds with Barnes TTSX & projectile did not pass through or exit deer. Another friend shot 2 deer with Browning Hells Canyon & lost both & knows he had good shots no blood. Another hunter at our club shot a buck in the neck with Winchester SP and he said the buck took a few steps before it fell. After inspection the projectile entered neck obviously hit bone & ricochet down deers body to hind quarter. Never have I ever shot or heard of a deer being shot in the neck that it didn't drop immediately. It would be interesting for someone with a greater knowledge like yourself to take a deeper dive into this. I was a fan not a hater but I have major concerns after seeing so many deer shot that didn't bleed even if it was successful harvest. You may not always be able to track a deer 200 plus yards without any blood through pine thickets, clear cuts & briar thickets.

This is ridiculous The 6.5 cm’s ballistic twins have been used to take larger game than deer in Europe and Africa for many decades?

[@tomsahunter3395]

A Barnes triple shock will effectively kill anything from groundhog too bear. They are the best on elk. Awesome bullet 😊😊😊😊😊

[@NCWoodlandRoamer]

Do you like the TSX or the TTSX better?

[@MikeNoyes]

autonomic plexus, hilar zone, vital v

[@TheBradycastellano]

Nosler almost cost my buddy his life. They recalled ammo and did not make it very noticeable to anyone at all. While sighting in his rifle, his rifle completely blew up. Not a great company in my opinion.

[@mack2233]

Thats crazy because i just got a remington 700 308 and i got some nosler competition rounds and on the 7th round right when i fired it, it like backfired the powder right back in my face and the guys shooting next to me wives seen it flashback and they came up to me and looked at my face i had little spots of blood where it came back. Called nosler and sent them a picture of the case cause it cracked the head of the case and they said to send the ammo to them and they would send me a new box. Fuck nosler and all there components for reloading, i would not recommend them ever

[@MichaelMiller-ww9iy]

Boring video, no good information. If you read the comments before watching, you'll see this one is not worth the 5min 44sec to watch.

[@mel_2506]

What the hey, surgery during season can't be good...OK, gotcha, stay away from pizza and New Mexico chili...

[@edwardabrams4972]

That’s pizza in Portland oregon🤔😳 no wonder Randy doesn’t hunt in oregon

[@rogerramjet7567]

This was NOT A HELPFUL VIDEO. 😢👎👎

[@jimmyjam505]

If you don't know where to hold on an animal You shouldn't have a firearm

[@edwardabrams4972]

Sadly about half of the hunters out their have never been taught how to handle a hun less off where to shoot game! I have been hunting 60+ years as well as being a reloader and rifle collector and first it should be about safety they how to handle a firearm then where to shoot! The new Ron Spomer video on KZbin is a great one for all the new hunters as well as good reminders for us old guys
