700+ rounds per pound of powder

There confused with the 22wmr probably

Love S&W

what rifles are you using this with? I have a very old Rossi 62 that shoots 22LR and I'd love to get a modern center fire 22. Any recs are greatly appreciated.

Direct and to the point. First time I've been on your site. It will not be the last. I liked this review.

"Getting back to basics... I think too often the break is two fold. Those with money, those that don't have as much and how those that always have the new things (usually because they are given it by the companies) and the push is always "the new thing" makes people not embrace across the board. Hell... my daughter the other day was with my wife... and they were looking at FB for some reason, and an EVA Shockey post popped up and my daughter asked about her (she's 8) and my wife said she doesn't care to see her always with the newest gear getting an animal because she was either handed it by vendors, or such... and I understood where my wife was coming from. On the other hand I shot 3-D for years... and it's similar there... the fun aspect has been destroyed... the IBO has always been serious... but I'm sorry... I'd love to see the open guys shoot the same course with a true basic hunting set up... maybe they wouldn't be separating by just a couple x's. When the R100 by rinehart got started there were NO SCORES captured. Focus was about the fun... and shooting whatever yardage you wanted to. Now the R100 is scored and the focus is on a score again. The Total Archery Challenge alienates your average blue collar guy that doesn't do crazy back pack hunting. Then take a look at yall... talking about having multiple new bows every year... and setting them up for so many different scenarios... Archery in my opinion used to be a blue collar thing... something that was easier for everyone to do as a full sport. Not sporting clays or trap or so on... but something that just about anyone could afford to get into . I love made in the USA gear... you can't touch some hunting sights for under $200... a damn sight. I think bringing things back to blue collar... to fun...have the competitions... but the damn elitism that has come to archery has truly torn it apart" - From a video on another channel about the subject.

I feel very strongly... about a lot of things... and I am usually very vocal and opinionated. I stumbled on an elk shape podcast from 7 months ago that turned me on to this whole debate. I think we are losing site of the basics. It's become all about the gear... getting the latest and greatest. Pricing out average people. Companies sponsoring people like it's going out of style. Whether it's in the hunting side of the world or competition. What ever happened to doing this for the fun and enjoyment and as a source of food. Now it's all about the trophy and gear...don't get me wrong I love gear... I am a knife nerd. But damn. There are not a lot of good places to hunt securely...People like to have a tree-stand up have a nice piece of land that they can hunt... maybe have a camper or something on it. The East is a lot different than the west when it comes to hunting areas. I'll also post my rant from the ElkShape video.. This schism in the hunting community isn't going to be good for anyone.

Looking at these boots.I have cold feet.I wear 10.5 EE wide in leather boots .From your review it sounds like i wont have trouble with them being wide enough.Correct?They dont come in a EE or wide width.That worrys me.Thanks.Good review.

That mountain do me sticker is bad ass. Also great and informative video, thank you.

Lost my dad 2020, he also wasnt a big 2a type. But loved him and miss him a ton

Absolutely beautiful! Thats a gem, not sure how rest of the lot looked but this is a great pickup!!

What a beautiful revolver. S&w really does these big beauties right. Love all their revolvers. These look like awesome shooters 🇺🇸👍👍

Seen prices go down around here. It ebbs and flows but trending up for sure. Gotta look for deals

What is the reason for the FMJ being illegal to hunt with in some states?

You're camera should be position in landscape mode. Which is lengthwise parallel to the table not portrait. All I see is a narrow video that doesn't help the viewer.

The 351c trigger is so tough to pull it’s discouraging to take to the range. I’m wondering if the 43c is any better?

You have GDS(Glock derangement syndrome).

I'm sorry about your dad's passing. My father is still alive, 91 years old. Like your father, my dad was never a gun guy. I have so many. I wish I could share my collection and enthusiasm with dad, but I don't. Love your Highway Patrolman! I have a 28-2 six inch barrel. Thanks for sharing yours!

Mix it up a bit. We could look at other things. 😂

Disagree..... The goal is conservation....period. More license sales=more funding for conservation. Not sure how this is even a rational idea

Is the xs sights tritium

I wonder if any can shoot a 3 inch shell on first shot and extract it afterwards..you can on the AR 410's

I had the Ruger LCR didn’t care for the trigger so I sold it and purchased a Ruger SR22 just for the kids to practice. Anyway I regret selling it but now I’m looking at the S&W 43c because I like to carry a 22LR just to run to the store but I don’t want to carry any semiautomatic 22LR because I don’t trust them because there is a good chance of it jamming.

Barnes makes a 70gr as well.

Texas doesn't even ban fmj for deer, they just don't suggest it.

Im 33, and i snatched an hr ss 22 hornet up at the pawn shop for 200 bucks, and i reload for it!!!! Most folks my age have no idea what it is or even heard of it, even the so called gun guys!!!

Get some ammo has these I just saw them.

I totally agree with Matt’s view point. Take a look around and see the effects it’s had on access. People post their spots and when non ethical hunters find out, they really hammer the areas which everyone floods too. Absolutely bad what’s going on and the bad thing is, the hunting community thinks it’s helping hunting in general. Draw odds are way down and what used to be fun is losing its reasoning why we do it because it’s “the cool” thing to do. Money for the rich is the focus now. I have to agree with Matt on many of his opinions.

I had one in 1978. I worked in a gun store in college. That's where I bought mine. A wonderful gun. I sold it a few years later to a guy that REALLY wanted one. I do miss it. Thank you very much for the back story on yours. That makes that gun even more special. So happy to hear it. The story behind it is as worthy as the gun itself. Thank you for that. :)

Found one for sale for $1,200. Not sure what I'd do with it, though. I'm not a hunter. This doesn't really seem like a home defense round. There are no JHP versions. It's meant for penetration, which means it will likely go directly through an attacker. It's definitely a cool revolver. I wish the engineers at S&W would give us a 7 shot 44 magnum. That would be a great home defense revolver.

Is HSM blue tip varmint ammo good for self defense? I’ve seen gnarly vids of those bullets exploding on target

Just seeing an X Frame in person is a special treat! They are impressive pieces of hardware.

Barnes and Gold Dots will always get the job done provided that you put the bullet where it belongs. Shot placement and bullet construction that are accurate in your rifle!

VERY NICE GUN

It doesn’t come with mounting plate?

I love my 43C. Easy to carry and shoots straight.

I came to this video to find out what the controversy is surrounding the Matt/Steve Rinella situation. After 6 minutes of watching I still have no idea.

Omgawd... get to the point... stop pandering

You're just buying from the wrong people 😉 yea it's creeping up for sure...

Well said, side x sides , and ATV,s have also over run the landscape in most areas, Idaho has pretty good management of this during hunting Utah fair . Here in Utah if you can get away from the roads far enough you can find good animals on public lands but in the 50 plus years I have hunted it has changed draws and units have made for it hard to obtain a permit . It is still the dollars from hunters and the items they purchase that drive our rights to hunt and fish. Let’s hope we do not lose sight of that

77 tkm kills everything including moose's

How are they in the summer?

Ima fan of federal tss 12g 3.5 mag 1200 ft/sec

Great info!!!

My local bass pro still has probably 20 boxes on the shelf.

My favorite gun. A true unsung hero in the ccw market. I can and have been able to afford any gun i want to carry and shoot, but the 43c is always on me. Sometimes as a back-up, but mostly a primary. If i lost it today, id buy another tomorrow. Hogue g10 grips and XS big dot tritium make it a complete package.

You said you have never recovered your deer with the Speer loads . Dude you are not to smart

Bought some this week at midway usa

I hear what your saying about losing land to farmers and it sucks but I myself am an avid hunter and I farm roughly a thousand acres in Minnesota and from a farming perspective my family and my living comes first hunting is just a bonus

Related to mag height in relation to the bore and feed ramp. As some say, mod the feed lips to let rounds come up higher. In my case, it was a t3x and a B&C stock bottom metal area not deeply enough inletted for the height, rounds would hit bottom of barrel. Forget the measurement, but, between the two stocks there was a difference from bottom metal distance to bottom of bolt.
