@@westonbaird9261 Hi it’s a 338 Lapua. Thanks for watching and the comment

@@SMarkar14 Hi, yes I would like to try fishing in Australia, maybe one day. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

@@Stratagos11 Hi, the only thing I should have done different was use a circle instead of a square, but I didn’t have one. But I’ll get one. It was just for fun and entertainment, no cut out deer was necessary. Lol. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

@@helicobakter6843 Hi, close it’s a GEO Tracker and it is an amazing rig. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

@@angelaprater2679 Hi, I think you mean the 223 having a new scope on it and forgetting it wasn’t zeroed. That what happens when you get older, you forget things. I should have thrown a sticky note on it. lol. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

@@fraserlordly2432 Hi Fraser, that is the Heffley Creek gun range outside of Kamloops. Is it close to you ? Thanks for watching and the comment.

@@daviddebacker2909 Hi David, it’s a nice range for sure. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, take care.

@bcextremeoutdoorsman just got the bug to reach out and hit something passed 200, your channel and a number of others have me thinking I might almost be able to some day. Thank you so much for the work you put into it sir!

@@daviddebacker2909 Awesome David that’s great to hear. Shooting out to further distances will you give more confidence at the closer ranges as well. Have fun and shoot straight, take care. If I can help you at all let me know.

@@jamessammann9183 Hi, James yes for sure. But it’s all I had at the time. Lol. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

@@7071t6 Hi and awesome shooting. Thank you and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, take care and shoot straight my friend.

@@jamessammann9183 Hi James, yes you are correct. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

@@dougroope8040 Hi Doug and thank you. I just held what the Kestral said which if I remember right was just off of centre left. Isn’t spin drift at a 1000 yards for a .308 Win. around 10” ? The Kestral does the spin drift automatically so I don’t really have to worry about it. I was favouring left of plate and with the 6mm and I hit where I was aiming. I remember shooting my .308 win. At 550 yards years ago in a no wind condition and I was consistently hitting 5” right of hold. I figured that was spin drift. But I know you have more experience than I do and I’m going to look into it more. I’m always learning in this game and I appreciate your input. Thank you again Doug for watching and your comment, take care. Also thank you for your service.

@bcextremeoutdoorsman @bcextremeoutdoorsman For my M24 and my M21 rifles, my spin drift at 1000 is .74 at the gun. So close, at 7.4" @ 1000 on target. I looked them up after my comment. But .7 at the gun is pretty minimal and the 308 was very limited much beyond 800 with the bullets we had back in the 80's. I was stationed in Korea with the ROK Marines, and about 3 months before I left, we were starting to experiment with the Army's long range competition round, the 300 Win Mag. with the 220gr Sierra Match King service ammo So much more impressive LOL I have several long range videos, but nothing on CZcams. My CZcams channel is all about my drag racing events. I think I need to add some variety. lol Thank you for the recognition. It's much appreciated.

@@boogerzekesweldingemporium4833 Hi, good point I’ll take that into consideration next time. I’m always learning. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

@@TheBlackTrapper Hi, I hear you, I hate shooting paper lol. When you’re shooting at game you are in the zone and it’s all subconsciously done, no time to think, as you have done it so many times. No screws loose there, just a good hunter. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care and good luck this hunting season.

@@WillHenrysWorkshop-gunsmith Hi, and thank you. Yes many comments have let me know that the 338 is a miss 😊. I’m still happy with the outcome. I tried to get a 5” circle but I could only get the 5” square. I’ll try it again at a later date with the circle. I didn’t even think of the square inch difference, it is a tough challenge especially with a lightweight hunting rifle. I am using the DJI wireless mic’s the first version mic’s. They work well. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, take care and shoot shoot.

@@bcextremeoutdoorsman I can't recall the last time I shot at Kamloops. Has to be twenty years ago. Even longer for the Heffley Creek range. I shot some matches at the Kamloops range, past the weigh scales, but it's been years. Sorry about the criticism! As you know, the circular bull is why it's so important to eliminate vertical dispersion. It gives you a little latitude on your wind calls. thanks for your response. WH

@@WillHenrysWorkshop-gunsmith Hi Will, Kamloops has some good shooting ranges and I heard KTSA is buying some new property to build a new range. I don’t know much about F-class and should have realized that MOA is angular, but I got put in my place. Lol. But it’s all good, I am always learning and sometimes from my mistakes. Thanks again for the comment and take care.

@@couespursuit7350 Hi, one MOA is a very small target at distance. Vitals on a Stone Sheep or deer are 18” as long as you get the windage correct you have a lethal hit. But the shooter has to make sure they are confident and skilled enough to make the shot. By practicing ( positional ) and knowing your rifle and ballistics etc. It’s up to the shooter to know what there ethical hunting distances are. This is just a fun challenge, as I said above the vitals in a deer sized animal is quite a bit bigger than a MOA. But aim small miss small. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, take care and shoot straight.

@@bcextremeoutdoorsman18 inches on a deer?? What from the knee to the spine?

Hi and thank you very much and thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

Hi, I’m in Kamloops B.C. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

Hi Tom, thank you. You are correct on all of your points. My intentions were just what you said, entertainment. I thought it would be fun to try one of these challenges with my hunting rifles and video it as it truly happened. All I could get at the time was a 5” square. I just threw in the 6 creed because I had it with me. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

Hi, and thank you, that was one of the points of the video was to have it videoed as it happened. I do a lot of sheep hunting and the from top of the back to bottom of the chest is about 18”, a deer is about the same. Any where in the front shoulder in that 18” is lethal. But I don’t want to use all that vertical. Realistically anything in a 10” circle is ethical, in my opinion. So basically that’s 2 MOA @500 yards. Of course tighter is better, again realistically a lot of guys out there hunting struggle with shooting 1 MOA at 100 yards. I have seen it lots, due to them not shooting enough. Now for the wind question, that’s a tough one. Lots of factors arise from this question. If the wind is very high and variable I won’t shoot and I’ll try and get closer. If it’s steady and under 10-12 mph at 500 yards I’ll DOPE the wind with my kestrel and if I feel comfortable I’ll take the shot. Thanks for watching and the great comment, I hope I answered it all got you. Take care, be safe and shoot straight.

Thanks for the thorough answer! Yes, you definitely answered my questions. I’m fairly new to hunting, and it’s really informative to see how guys with more experience think through these issues. Thanks again! Hope you’re successful this season!

@@sthomsen86 Thanks and you are very welcome, take care and gook luck this season to you as well.

@@bradleytyrrell4417 Hi Bradley and thank you, I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment, take care.

@@pitts3219 Hi, I might do that one day, I’ll have to build a KYL to do it though. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

Right. 5x5 =25 sq inches vs 5" circle ~ 20 sq inches.

@@SuperJeanq Hi, you are very correct, not a hit. I didn’t even think of that until you brought it to my attention. I didn’t have access to a 5” circle so I used a square. I’ll have to get one made and try it again at a later date. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, take care.

@@rokkinjohann Hi and yes you are correct, like I said above I didn’t have access to a 5” circle so I used a square. I’ll try again at a later date. Thanks for watching and the math lesson 😊. Take care and be safe.

Yes, about 1.4 moa. The square target would still be in a kill zone of a very small deer. Humbling target size is correct. The Cortina target is truly threading the needle. Many kill shots would be failures on his deer target.

5 MOA at 500y is not 5”, either. It is 5.235”

@@toddhulen7740 Hi Todd, thank you and yes it is a beautiful range, I’m very fortunate to have a range like I do to use. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

@@user-md2ty5nv9d Hi and thank you very much, I’ll need the luck. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, take care.

@@EFD620G Hi, watch my hunting videos and you’ll see what I do 😊. If an animal stops at 455 yards, I’ll range it with my binos get the DOPE from the binos, then I’ll dial the DOPE on the scope and then engage the target. Or once I get the distance I’ll look at my DOPE card that I have somewhere on the rifle for the area I’m hunting. Then the same, I’ll dial and engage. 500 yards was just what the challenge was at, I didn’t design it. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.

Good stuff! Always fun to do these challenges. Cortina is a legend! Breaks it up a little and keeps ya honest. How long until your first hunt? Sheep again this year? I got a late invite to help on a bighorn hunt here and definitely not in shape for it. Is your shoot at the Cameo range outside of Grand Junction? I haven’t made it over there yet but I’ve heard it’s awesome!! Good luck!

Why yes, yes the do woke boy

@@karlweiby2307 Hi Karl, the challenge was fun and tough. I should of have had a circle instead of a square but I didn’t have access to one. I’m am not going Stone Sheep hunting this year, I have been too busy, possibly next year as my son has had some interest in going with me. Go for sheep, start training now. A little training is better than no training. 😊 Yes, I will be at the Cameo range. Is that close to you ? Would be great to meet you.

@@TL12352 Hi and thank you for watching and the comment, take care.

@@jcows12 Hi, when I clean my rifles it down to metal so completely cleaned, I use a bore scope to make sure I have the carbon ring removed, as well. If you have good barrels it shouldn’t take much to clean. Then I’ll shoot it to condition the barrel until it is stabilized and shooting consistent and velocities are consistent as well. It doesn’t take many shots. Then it’s ready hunt with. Depends on what rifle, my 338 I’ll clean more often as you’re burning more powder and it will fowl quicker, so I clean it around 30 rounds. The 280ai around every 60 rounds. Again if they get wet at all, I’ll run a patch down the barrel, then when I get a chance I’ll take another shot. I never use a bore snake unless it’s an emergency and I have never had to use one, but I have one in my backpack just in case. I hope this helps and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Any other questions just ask, take care.
