The 155 XTP is devastating! And the 180 XTP is no slouch either. For general carry, either would be great. If I was going to be carrying as a backup for woods/bear protection, I think I’d be inclined to stay with the hardcast for maximum penetration. It would be interesting to see a side by side with the hardcast hollow points - one with a shallow cavity vs. the one you have been using. I’ll stand by for that comparison video!

👍👍👍

That hardcast hollow point is nasty!

Thanks for watching John p.s. this is not a fashion channel lol

For my 300 wsm for hunting. I use a 2lbs trigger. Rifle Basic trigger does the trick. I'm only out to 1200 yards. I purchased a 300 Rum barrel and I'm just starting the reload process for it. Happy shooting great video, keep the gong ringing.

You lost me with the HarleyDavidson hoodie.

As a self defense round in your 150 gr. XTP load…holy smokes! Devastating without over penetration!

Great video! Thanks for the information. Very interesting with the pork shoulder!

Great video! Some real legitimate information to make people think and consider 10mm as a primary backup (predator defense) gun. I carry a G20 10mm and have for several years, I run a kenai chest holster from Gunfighter Inc. and love the accessibility and comfort. I run this setup while hunting, backpacking with my family, and on my dirtbike and snowmobile adventures, other than getting a little dusty or some occasional mud, it's a great setup and accessible one handed in almost any scenario. Regarding your testing, I agree the 155gr XTP seems a little light for bear defense, it's definitely going to smack the bear and dump its energy and let it know you are a formidable opponent, however I think it lacks stopping power or enough to get to vitals and stop the attack. The 180gr hard cast is 100% getting through bones/vitals but without much tramatic tissue damage. I would be interested to see a 180gr XTP or other JHP up around max load in this same testing scenario to see how it performs.

Agree with your test. That 155 XTP would be a good self defense round - no worries about over penetration. For deer hunting, my only concern would be with meat damage, say if the hit were to the shoulder. Meat is my primary concern when hunting. It is why I use all copper bullets in my hunting rifles. In the 10mm, .357, .41, and .44 category…for handgun hunting, the latter 3 would be my choice in the revolver, with a 6 inch plus barrel. As a backup in bear country, my choice would be the 10mm semi auto. Easier to carry, more rounds (that you hopefully wouldn’t need, but have) and weights would be similar to the other pistols. The 44 magnum obviously has the most energy, but also the most recoil. How many shooters, in all practicality, can shoot multiple rounds in succession with any degree of accuracy, especially in a stressful situation? Same with the .41, albeit less recoil than the .44. The .357 with a 4 inch barrel? Maybe. I carried one for many years of my law enforcement career. But that being said, I would choose the 10mm with 180 grain hardcast bullets for backup defense in bear country. One other thing that’s worth mentioning - if you aren’t used to shooting a semi auto pistol, or don’t have strong wrists, then the revolver would be the better choice for you. With any semi-auto, you need to be practiced in being able to clear a jamb and cycle in a new round should something like that happen. Bottom line - be well practiced with whatever you decide to carry! Good video - like that you are doing more than just water jugs. More realistic.

I would think that if you are carrying it in the backcountry as bear protection, you would want the penetration that the hardcast bullet provides. No doubt the faster 150 gr hollow point has plenty of energy, but my choice would most certainly be the 180 gr. hardcast, with the penetration to get through thick hide and bone if needed. For me…I’d carry the hardcast.

I did not realize how much my tigger sucks until I heard this CRISP trigger <3

Those are all awesome!!!! I’m gonna think of a name for the elk! Lol

That scope is beautiful

Are you finding ammo available for that magnificant rifle?? Maybe do a video on how to change out triggers. I would of never thought about replacing triggers at all>.

Brilliant review. I have shot at some distance with my 300 UM but not out past 2000 yards. I do like the caliber and I for one have no issues with the recoil so many complain about. Have a very good muzzle break is important although deafening I must say. But allows for faster follow up shots if need be. The right hand loads is also a must. Sometimes discovering the right load is mind boggling. But worth it in the end. Scope , mount and rest with the right trigger is also a must. My trigger is right at 2 pounds. I would like to go a bit lighter but would need to once again replace my trigger. Thank you for your time and upload.

My long range is setup almost like yours. Mines in 7mm mag with jewel trigger, nightforce 20moa rail seeking rings with a vortex hat scope.

Where in Nor Cal is this?!

“My Josh” 😀😀😀

Lol- mom is looking not as excited to be on top of the world

What a shot!! Learning from the best!

My RUM shoots 130gr Barnes TTSX BT sitting on top of 103.8grs of RL25... Between 3749 & 3755 fps depending on barrel temp. Pushing a 55gr sabot over 5000 fps..

Now that is one beautiful customized Remington you do not see many of those in left hand operation of course I'm pretty lucky ambidextrous so that means I can shoot right-handed or left-handed. PS that also means two that I can shoot handguns with either hand without any problems.

I am 13 I want a 30-378 weatherby in the accurmark right now I shoot a 35 whelen with a muzzle brake with the accurbreak or a better muzzle brake and a good recoil pad with mecurey recoil compensators in the stock could I handle it ?

Problem is the barrels don't last past 2,000 rounds. I'll stick with the .300WM. No one's going to kill game past 1000 yards and have respect for animals. Hitting steel plates I can hit a plate at 2000 yards too. You just can't do it every shot so it kind of stupid. 80% luck....

Are Remington 700 rifles still accurate in 2020 particularly the sendaro I’ve heard of accuracy issues with them ?

Thanks for posting this! Your excitement got me excited...I’m gonna dig up your other videos on this.

I’m 13 I want to order a Remington 700 in this caliber if I do I want to put a fat bastard muzzle brake on it by APA and mercury recoil compensatores to put in the stock. I am 13 6 foot 140 pounds and currently handle a 35 whelen with a muzzle brake no problem and I’m not recoil sensitive could I handle it ?

Love my 300 rum glad more people are shooting them they are a powerful platform

Um you killed a timber rattler 🤦🏻‍♂️

I LOVE THE ULTRA MAGNUMS , They are fantastic . I Love The 7mm Ultra it is so Amazing .

Nice round, I like 300 win and killed my last whitetale at 1167 yards with ease

Shouldn’t have killed the poor thing. It didn’t do nothing to you, if it was gonna bite her it would’ve already

Nice video and a very nice rifle. Bought one similar to this in 2011. Rem 700 Sendero SFII in the same caliber. Great run and a very powerful cartridge.

Hawt dang a beautiful lefty,I want one

How much for 1 box of bullets??

long boi scope

What weight bullet is most accurate for the 300 rum? I'm shooting 180grn with a winchester mod. 70, not happy with the group at even 200 yards.

What part of Northern California do you shoot? Oh what model Remington is that?

there are 2 250grn projectiles coming on the market for the 300RUM .

I believe the speed of sound is 770 mph at sea level.

Very impressive! Do you hand load your 300rum cartridges?

it looks like your scope got a viagra stuck in its throat

Long sunshade

How heavy is the rifle?

Sweet rifle! Love my 300 rum. I’ve killed many elk, deer with it, great caliber.... sumthing about a dry fire, makes me jump!!! 🤣 “recoil time”

Mine is like the "Hand of Thor" it's an incredible round . Love it . Had a 30- 378 weatherby at one time . The 300 RUM is an amazing replacement for it

get some dogs!

What twist rate are you using with those 225gr

I am running 103.5 gr in mine with a 215 pill at 3240fps.
