My favorite ballistics calculator is Strelok+. Is easy to use once you put your rifle scope, and cartridge information in, and it gives you a visual reticle of bullet impact.
Hope you’re rich. It is quickly becoming a sport for the rich. Sort of like polo. Hunting on public land has become progressively unsafe and unproductive.
I've taken the most deer in Arkansas with a .243 browning Bar mark 2 and Arkansas is thick woodlands overgrown clear-cuts you need a good blood trail and I've taken the most deer with a .243
my 223 savage axis had a trigger that we never did find out how heavy it was. It was so heavy that it buried the needle on the trigger gauge. now its about 2.5 pounds and is the best shooting gun i own. Even my 700 doesnt shoot as good as my 223.
States that mandate shotguns for big game hunting usually also require slugs. Since that question/comment specifically mentioned patterns, that would imply that shot was used.
Of the dozen or so rifles I own, only two factory triggers remain. One is an early 1970’s Husqvarna Model 1900 with a fully adjustable, slick as glass unit, the other is a modern Bergara B-14 HMR, also with a fully adjustable trigger. The Bergara trigger is the best trigger I own. Maybe it’s just a factory freak, but it’s better yet than any of the several aftermarket triggers I have in other rifle platforms, Timney’s, Trigger-Tech’s, and a Jewell.
The way he stated things about shotguns in Africa I think they are banning them do to use of buckshot, which is also banned in many areas in the US for the same reasons listed. The use during drive hunts to me definitely leads to buckshot, I don’t care if it’s a 7mag or a 12g with slugs I don’t want either pointed in my direction even if I’m a few hundred yards away through the brush
Yeah I agree with your deductions. I also think that was the writer’s intent. Although I would disagree with the writer if shotguns are patterned and proper ranges are held to. I don’t know if it’s made anymore, but I used to run Federal flite control buckshot, which patterned phenomenally out to 50-60 yards in a cylinder choke.
Ron that thing you do with your hand is called the right hand rule and is used to find the product of 2 vectors in 3D space. My guess is the product of the vectors for spin drift or wind and the flight of the bullet results in that 3rd vector producing lift. Very interesting.
That artillery hold actually is what is required for high powered Gamo pellet guns due to the reverse recoil to maintain accuracy. This hold probably Carrie’s over to the rim fire competitors that are using both styles especially when pellet guns are super cheap to shoot. I had to learn the artillery hold for Gamo rifles after picking up a couple for the kids during Covid. There are several videos on the artillery hold with Gamo rifles. These guns are fun for plinking and safety (carrying energy down rang) when living close to town.
As far as aftermarket triggers, I have used only Timney so far and love them. I like them better than the "accutrigger" and primarily use them from the bench for the best accuracy. But yes for hunting (other than maybe varmints like prairie dogs from a table or back of a truck at 300 yards) I would probably go with 3 lbs. anything heavier I get 4 inch groups and not 1/2 inch groups on targets.
Thanks Mark. Yes, I put a 20-caliber hole in it to honor our 200,000 subscribers to my regular YT channel. 30-cal hole is my next goal. Thanks for getting me closer to it!
Ron you bring up great subjects , but I disagree on some subjects. Thank god we live in the great U.S.A. we all have different view points. Have a great day and keep bringing up the pod casts.
Thanks Dan. My intent is not to demand agreement, but share what I've learned and stimulate thinking. I value free thinking and personal preferences, so carry on, sir!
You'd be hard pressed to find a trigger with a pull of more than 2 pounds in Germany (at least from a German manufacturer). Especially the Sauer 404, which will probably be my next rifle. It has an adjustable trigger which can be set from a 550g to a 1250g pull. Speaking of, do you have experience with German rifles? If so, what was it like? Keep up the amazing work, love listening to your podcasts at the gym, while cooking, basically anytime, any day! :)
@@ronspomer4366 Glad to hear it. I have yet to get my hands on a true American rifle, but I recently witnessed the auction of a beautiful pre-64 Model 70 here in Germany. That's a cultural exchange I love to see!
Hey Ron, Why not just buy a Savage Axis II rifle with the accu trigger? I have my 30 06 set at 1 1/2 lbs and super crisp and clean, really enhancing the accuracy of the rifle. Easily produces MOA groups at 100 yards and exceeds my shooting abilities in pretty much any hunting situation. I have taken deer, bear and moose reliably and safely with this combo. Peter
If shooters realize your focus should be on the squeeze & the target should be your second focus once your aim is set they’ll be amazed @ their accuracy.
A LONG time ago I built a 280, 98 Oberndorf action, Douglas air gauged barrel, Timney trigger in a Bishop stock. I used an aircraft grade aluminum based epoxy type putty to bed the front lug, Devcon putty. I used a book called “The Accurate Rifle” by I think Warren Page. Has anyone else written this type of book?
regarding the pressure testing, i have to disagree with the CIP meassuring. the transducer is not mounted in front of the case mouth, that's a NATO EPVAT only. CIP specifies where the transducer is to be placed, e.g. 25 mm from the breech face for the .308 Win, or 12.5 mm for the 9mm Luger. and I have never seen a second hole for CIP. maybe NATO uses it to ensure the correct pressure at the gas port position for reliable function.
The copper bullets that are out. Do they significantly increase fouling in the bore. I know it sounds like a no brain question. However they have different grade metals do they have different grade copper if so whats the best at not destroying the barrel or gum it up
Question for Ron, I had a pheasant hunt on a farm last Saturday. I had about 6 shells, that I loaded, come out as weak loads. Resulted in at least 2 birds escaping. What could have caused it? Win. 16ga hull, 22.5gr Longshot, Rem. SP16 wad, Ched 209 primer, 1 1/8 oz shot, fold crimp. Temp was 25 degrees with 19 degrees wind chill.
Sorry about your missed opportunities. I used to have those with reloads, too. Could be several things: 1. Full load of powder didn't drop. 2. Your crimp wasn't tight enough. 3. Contaminated primer. 4. Loose primer pocket (any soot around the joint?) 4. Moisture in the powder charge. 5. Debris blocking primer hole/flame path to powder. Probably something else I'm not coming up with.
Is the long action rifle cartridge coming to an end? I find it very limited on bullet selection when in the stores. I moved to a .308 due to the lack of options that I am finding for my .270. So I took a look around and realized that the 30-06, 300 win mag and the 7mm were slim pickings as well. I have had many successful hunts with the .270 and now I’m thinking that it will need to be set up long range and use the .308 for medium to short range. I say that because most shots are between 100-200 yards but the occasional 300-400 years shot do happen. I am sure that the .308 can handle the longer range but I am more confident in the .270 as it has been my go to for so many years. What are your thought?
Short action cartridges are more popular now, but long actions are not in danger of obsolecense. New long actions are appearing and the old ones will hang around for decades. Factory 270 Win loads range from 100-gr. bullets to 156 grain from just about every manufacturer. Win, Rem, Fed., Norma, Nosler, Hornady, Black Hills, Fiocchi, Sierra, Barnes, Sig Sauer, Sellier & Bellot, PMC, RWS, and others.
It sounds like purchasing long action ammo via the internet will be the way to go. The big box stores are where the selection is very limited in my area. Thank you for the info and looking forward to the hunting scope conversation that is coming up
I think you’re probably seeing the long lasting effects of politics influencing ammunition demand, and therefore production, more so than long action cartridges going the way of the dodo. I’ve seen the “classics” increase slowly in terms of factory ammo on the shelves over the last year. I think availability will level back out, but I don’t think prices will, unfortunately.
Longer, higher BC bullets continue to become more and more available and popular, but you need a setup that can make use of them. A lot of older guns can't accommodate the increased overall lengths (270 for example) required to run those projectiles, so some folks are gravitating toward custom chambers, and with that comes handloading. I'm guessing that more and more folks are handloading in order to make use of modern projectiles; therefore, the demand for factory ammo has likely dropped in that area.
Is no Best, James. Many, many work just fine. I've used everything from 22-250 Rem through 45-70. 6.5 Creedmoor, 260 Rem., 7mm-08 Rem. and 308 Win. are good options.
Do know that "rifled slug" is a misnomer. The ribs are designed to obturate to fit various shotgun barrel diameters as well as chokes, esp. full chokes. The ribs do not spin the slug appreciably to stabilize it.
Man......, let me do (to the best of my ability) what Ron can't (for liability reasons) and understand its just an opinion ONLY...., where/how do I start? Firstly by the mere mention in your inquiry (in regard to the calibers you presented) you've (to me) indicated your interest is in military catagorized cartridges which indicate your interest in tactically styled firearms, i.e.; "tacticool"..., meaning you are lacking knowledge, PERIOD. These calibers have viable application in certain hunting environments but for a neophyte to utilize them is an unethical practice. "Don't open traditionally"? I think you're confusing fmj's and what their design is intended to do (or NOT do, look up history of military bullet design). Plus it's "know" the spelling, not "no". "Yawing" is an aeronautical term meaning to turn left or right from the centerline of thrust. Please have enough interest and discipline to educate yourself. I know I sound like a hard-ass but how hard is it to put your question to the internet and do your due diligence to LEARN? Good luck. (I'm actually a likeable guy) 😅.
No, that's why fmj projectiles are prohibited . However, if you look at ballistics gel test on hollow point 5.56 hp and 7.62 hp you will discover some of those projectiles do expand and perform like a traditional hollowpoint including some of the hp/polymer tip match bullets. Research the projectiles individualy so you know the performance of each on game. Hunting is one thing. Wounding and killing something through a long painful death are completely different. You should really ask yourself. Is it OK to use a projectile that doesn't guarantee quick expansion, deep penetration and a clean, ethical harvest of a game animal ?
@@rationalmind6362 I have only deer hunted with soft points in a 30 06. What I'm getting at is more along the lines of a hollowpoint for a rifle that doesn't mushroom or peel back in the traditional way. I have a buddy that used a sks, used 7.62x39 hollowpoints. Killed deer with it, they wouldn't run far and all but 1 time the bullet exited. The time it didn't and we dressed it out and quartered. Then we found the bullet. It had crazy deformation.

View, I'm not sure what not opening "traditionally" means, but all hunting bullets are designed to expand in one way or another. Lead cores usually expand and roll back from the tip/nose, creating a rounded surface. Many times these break into dozens, even hundreds of tiny pieces and flecks. Often the gilding metal jacket separates from the lead core. Bonded core and partition style lead cores tend to stay in one piece, but also shed some lead pieces. Depending on bones hit, bullets can deform into weird clumps. Hollow-nosed copper bullets expand as petals or roll back from the nose. Some are designed to shed petals as shrapnel. Yawing refers to a bullet's tip circling around its center line like a wobbling top. Inside an animal yawing likely refers to the bullet veering off line due to variable friction (bone on one side, soft tissue on another, etc.) Your biggest concern is whetehr the 5.56/223 Rem. is effective enough for cleanly taking game. That depends on the bullet and it's placement and distance to target. Many use it with great success, but placement is paramount. Then again, placement is paramount with any bullet.
Wildlife “conservation” reintroduction of carnivores into the hunting grounds (to make liberal/progressive voters feel good,) such as wolves in Oregon, and restricting Mountain Lion hunting in Oregon has reduced the deer and elk populations to the point of “Controlled Hunts.” Carnivores eliminate hunters in the conservation balance.

I saw a very large “coyote” in my sights in the Oregon Western Cascades watching me as I was returning from what used to be prime Blacktail deer hunting grounds. I’ll leave it at that.
Controlled hunts are a big part of what keeps animals from being hunted to near extinction as they were in the past. Honestly, you give me poacher vibes. Buy your tags like everyone else, dude.
