looks like you need a new table there bud. haha

Well said i have 7mm08,3006,35 whelen and i hust got a 308 use the same shell holder exept for my 6.5 PRC but just doing loads for my new ruger 308 and season my barrel just desper to see how good is my first 308.

You have the right title.

Cuantas pulgadas mide el largo del caño ?? 22 o 24 ??

Why does that middle one look like the lead is way off center? Is that just the camera or was the core shifted that much??

Thats super slow and they are meant to hit hide and rib cage, not soft gel

Fantastic performance! The Speer 140 Gold Dot should be devastating on deer out of a 6.5 Creedmoor, 260 Rem, 6.5x55! Your videos are excellent!!!

I'm a big "no" for a non-expanding bullet. I have a load for a 156 gr Norma Oryx from my .260 REM that, if I ever find a moose, will be my choice. Of course, they disconinued the design. :-(

ELDX not menrtioned in this vid. Interesting... Mulling over ELDX vs. ABLR at 6.5 cm, 308 win, 300PRC @ distance (sub 2850fps velocities). Have full confidence in TBT as they shot well in 308 but trying to dumb it down for good performance on deer deer AND heavier elk..

Great infor! Sadly i have been reloading since the 80's and alway firm believer in cup and core bullets, one i favor was 170gr round nose soft point out of 308 and 06 running around 2700fps max did beautiful on deer and elk out to 400 yards. Though now days bonded and all copper bullets are starting to take the show!

Excellent video.

Funny that Hornady takes credit for discovering the tips melting/deforming, a Nosler rep told me about that issue in the late 1990's.

Good practical information

Just bought 3 factory loaded boxes of these by Swift Ammunition Co. can’t wait to try them so I’m glad to see you video using the bullet. I’d like to eventually load some of these myself.. Glad I could find you videos on them! What powder and brass did you use for your test loads?

I have a question. Can a gun smith shorten my long range hells canyon max long range? I am wanting to get a suppressor but its already 26 inches and afraid that its going to Be way too long to hunt with walking through the trees. Be like 32-34 in barrel. Wanting to cut it down to like 22 inches. Thanks.

This is a great video, thank you for making/sharing!

What is the closest you have shot animals with it? How does it do with close bone shots?

Glad to hear that i just sighted my ott 6 with it

Late to the vid, but you should try the Accubond LR. It is designed to open up at lower velocities at long range. But then, it might not do so well at higher velocities. I'll keep looking for a vid on these.

Don't hunt any big game with these. Probably illegal and definitely unethical.

Have you considered doing any gel testing of the Apex Outdoors mono bullets? I think your approach to this testing is far more valuable and realistic than most of the impact testing I have seen. Keep up the good work! :)

Great show! Well presented and prepared!

Most comments here are 4 yr ago. Picked a used one up at a value price. Tritium dead (5yr) guarantee. Replenish requires exchange/purchase new slide. Fiberoptics good daytime. Added used std 365 three-tritium upper. All good, 2 options. Nice pistol.

Maximus not MTH for hunting

I agree with you wholeheartedly Except for the thought about the bergers Can they kill? Yes But high bc cup and core bullets can have extraordinary failure Some will even push upder the hide and ride along only to be found randomly under the hide completely without evidence of how they got there

Why run the Hornadys 200 fps slower than the ABLR? 🤔

Ther are 2 tipes of fox munition 1 for fox and birds, and 2 for big geim that expands sory for bad english.

So I have been trying to convert 300wsm to 6.8 but it’s not working am I missing something

Awesome, I found it on sale and bought 10 boxes of 308!

Any opinions if these Gold dots is what Federal is loading in their Fusion line of ammo? Recovered bullets look almost identical!

So 600 to 800 yards, depending on muzzle velocity being, say 2550 to 2750 fps? For perspective, a .357 Magnum will do between 1400 and 1500 fps from a 158 gr in a 6+ inch revolver. So .357 Magnum energy from an expanding bullet at 600+ yards? Not bad! And you can get Hornady Black with the 168 gr Amax for $1.60-ish a pop, which also isn't bad for match .308 Win, these days. I am in the process of putting an 18 inch Proof and a Dead Air Sandman on a DMR themed AR-10, and I gotta say, this bullet is checking a lot of boxes for a do-all load in this rifle.

Using Partitions for the last 44 yrs, haven't had a reason to change, I never fear a hard quartering shot, a hoop shot or a frontal shot when needed, sometimes that's all you get at a moose or elk, I hunted BC and AB , I didn't know what I'd see for sure, for many years, could have up to all 4 different tags, WT, MD, elk and moose, partitions got it done. Meat loss was something I was willing to sacrifice at times, most of the time, didn't have to.

I’ve seen nothing in the internet but videos of these bullets failing in game on hunts and like this But on the videos cutting edge posts their all work miraculously

I really wanted my rifle to like the terminal ascent’s. First two shots at 100 yards went through the same hole. 3rd shot was 1.5 inches off. Then I got a 5.5 inch group at 300. Berger 168gr hybrid hunter’s got a 1/2” group at 100 and under an inch at 300, though I realize that was likely a bit of a fluke. Still impressive. Thoroughly impressed with the accuracy of the bergers so I at least have my fallback round if I can’t find a good bonded bullet that my rifle shoots well. Appreciate the content!

Your shooting 6.5 creedmoor at 20 feet? No shit it went through the blocks

3:04 play back @ .25 the speed

Not a very good test when you haven’t got any all copper bullets shush as the Barnes TTSX that happens to be probably the best overall hunting bullet ever designed!

After watching m60 tracer you see the drop and energy loss at 500m. It's dramatic.

Hammer Bullets would like your style of testing. I bet if you had time to do testing, they'd may work with you But who knows..... thay have quite a team already Great video

Very much agree with what you're saying. I like how the 208 ELDM run in the 308 as well. Not so fast, but it keeps its speed and does a great job. Rogee Hunting out of New Zealand runs the 208 ELDM in a Tikka 300 wsm with fantastic success on even smaller game at distance.

Great video!

Only a dumbass shoots at a animal at 700yds

Those velocities are wild...with how different the two Barnes are! I don't load 6.5 but ~300 fps less velocity...? wow! May I ask you what powder it was and charge?

you sir are doing the lords work!

I saw online some hunters in New Zealand wee annealing the tips of match bullets to get better fragmentation at distance

Die goed skiet kak, hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie

All of them do well at ethical hunting distances. 6.5 is best for long-range target shooting. Thanks for sharing.

plywood plugs

You mind sharing your load data for this bullet in .308? Thx

Very encouraging to hear. Was interested in something like this for my son and was concerned the short barrel would be crazy loud. If that's all the velocity you've lost though I'm assuming that at ~20 inches there's no perceivable difference than a long barrel? Plenty of compact 243 youth guns out there but after being next to them at the range, no thank you. Very excited to get a 6.8 going and working up some mild loads for him :)
