Next to the .30-06, the .338 win mag is one of my favorite rounds. Not terrible recoil, but amazing ballistics.
35 Whelan is a great step up from the 30-06
Incredible knockdown power..I used to wonder why it was the gun of choice hunting caribou, which are not that big. Then I saw a caribou hunter step up on a grizzly and it all made sense.
@@markkosa1 My Dad used his Sako .338 for deer here in Pennsylvania. If SHOT PLACEMENT is correct it will literally pick them off of their feet and kill them before they hit the ground. No meat wasted. Just both lungs and heart a bloody soup.
this would make a perfect squirrel gun
wight privilege It would turn the little critters into liquid...
wight privilege ...yep, tenderized, no chewing, just swallow 😁
There would be nothing left but the tail and toenails.
Eye Ore and no need to skin and gut .
Thystaff Thywill In canada, they call them "bears"
I had a buddy smuggle some laminate tree seeds out of Tennessee back in 1962 and now he has hundreds growing on his property in south Idaho. It is truly one of the most beautiful trees you will ever see.
Brandon Monday that's illegal! It's a protected resource in TN. At least that's what I heard, we can't read reel gud in TN so we can't be sure.
Nathaniel Graham : At least yore not in 'ole Kaine-tuck
Is laminate the official name of tree? Trying to search for it but all im getting is laminate flooring.
Aramonde Hasashi Laminate is not a tree name. Laminate is thin pieces of wood glued and pressed together. Can be made from any tree you like.
I fell for a Hickok joke. Now i feel dumb.
I love it! "Shooting is fun, and most of you know that." Such a cool guy, really couldn't think of a better example to represent the shooting world. Thanks again for all of the great videos.
Hickok, thanks for the problem solution. My daughter lives in the mountains 50 miles N. of Missoula MT. She's having black bear trouble, mostly from one big male. He's knocked down her front door twice and done the home shopping network for bears. He's killed a few chickens. Most troubling, however, is he keeps returning after being set upon by four good-sized dogs. Game and Fish said she could kill him, if they can't respond in time, because this is a dangerous bear.
I'll fill that prescription (Rx: Ruger M77 Guide Gun .338 Win Mag, PRN) right away...Thanks!
Bumble Bunny Buy a PaK 40 75mm WW2 anti tank gun. That bear won't stand a chance!
Dude you don't need a 338 win mag for anything in North America. you don't even need a 300 win mag but people who can't shoot want one to make up for accuracy. a 44 mag would take down a bear.
signs damn id like to see what that does to an actuall body, animal or human
WCGwkf so would a .22 but that doesn't mean it's up for the job
jared Noah it could but it may not get through bone or enough tissue to do anything. a 250gr or 300 gr hard cast flat bullet loaded hot is the best weapon in a small package. You'd always want a bigger gun but it's not always easy to carry one. a 44 mag in a holster isn't as far away as a rifle can be
This is the only channel where I hit the "like button" and then watch the video.

I've hunted Alaska with a .338 WM Ruger 77 R/S for 25 years. It's never let me down and that's remote hunting. Love the rifle and the caliber.

One of my favorite calibers I used to hunt with one of these since I was 12. Huge power not too bad of a recoil. Also you can reach out pretty far with a good hand load great for elk where you need something to reach out and also still pack a lot of power.
why watch Riley Reid when you can watch Hickok45?
why not both I'm down to watch a Hickok 45 riley reid collab
Sat here trying to think who Riley Reid was (in the gun world) then it clicked. She handles magnums well. Well played sir LMAO
Made me chuckle....boy talk about a girl who dove to the bottom depths of porn rather quick
Used to take 3 years or so to get to BGB level
I can't see Hickok45s tiddys
@@bryanwilson1806 is Hickok Riley's dad
It really is a nice rifle, I own one myself, chambered in 300 Win Mag, fell in love with the stock at first sight. Shoots smooth as a baby's bottom, the muzzle break really takes quite a bit of recoil out, and its a practical, workable, accurate, reliable and durable rifle.
A friend of mine had one , and loved it . It would reach out and was very accurate, and the impact was there.
Hickok is a beast with that gun! Been watching for years now! This guy does tons of work for our sport/hobby
I moved to Kodiak from Montana in 1984 and started hunting for deer with a Ruger M77 in .338 WM not because the Sitka Blacktail deer of Kodiak are particularly tough, but because I hunted in the company of Kodiak brown bears and suddenly the .30-06 I had been using before seemed a bit anemic in case a Brownie decided to charge me. I hunted deer in Kodiak 29 years and the big Nosler Partition 250 grain bullets ruined less meat than my wife's .243 did. They are heavy, tough bullets meant for bear and moose and don't expand excessively in such a light animal as a deer. But all the deer fell on the spot. Then I moved to Alabama in 2013, and although there are no Brownies here I've kept on using the old "Bazooka," as a friend of mine calls it, on whitetails. I've killed five of them in the past four years and--just like the Kodiak deer--they all fell on the spot as if they had been poleaxed. If I had to have only one rifle, it would have to be a .338 WM. Last winter I connected with a really nice eight-pointer, and the old Bazooka knocked it down--dead before it hit the ground absolutely motionless. I always shoot deer in the forward point of the shoulder blade. The heavy bullet breaks the spine and it's lights out. I am not a trophy hunter and we utilize every last ounce of deer meat. It's on our table more often than beef, chicken or pork, and certainly much healthier.
Yeah I kill all my deer and elk with my 338 wm 250 grain nosler partitions, lights out 1 shot and less meat damage than a 270 or 30- 06, I love the rifle
Yep, that's a sound decision.
giovanni tallino a true hunter names his favorite rifle, good going.
Old Elmer Keith wrote about heavy bullets making less bloodshot meat than light fast ones saying “you can eat right up to the bullet hole”! 😂
Mmm some backstrap sounds good right now 👍👍
Had my volume all the way up at the start of the video. Expect the cops to arrive shortly.
Lol nice. I live in rural Oregon, so, actually, my neighbors would probably complain about the noise not the gunfire specifically haha. :D
IanTheAnimal hi from Veneta Oregon lol
Say what? I can't hear you; must not have had my ears on.
@Jeremy Orr Yo I'm out in Monroe! Small world.
bunch of Oregonians in here...... just north of you guys......
The 338 Win mag is my favorite hunting cartridge! I have it in Rem 700. Great energy at distances and range.
I own a Ruger M77 all-weather .338 Win Mag. I have harvested all my Whitetail Deer and Black Bear with this gun. Its a perfect caliber to take any/all North American Big Game and some African Game.
can you eat bear?
Blepe Dude Absolutely so. It has to be cooked properly due to parasites. It has the texture of roast beef - stringy.
Blepe Dude makes good pepperoni
What was the exit holes like on that bad boy
I have hunted and killed lots of whitetail deer and elk with 338 WM using 250 grain partitions, it does not waste lots of meat! i seen 7 mags and 300 win mags do much more damage! 338 flat out puts the game down love it !
I really enjoyed that it brings back memories of my brother and I shooting his Ruger 300 Winchester magnum at drywall buckets full of water with lids on them most of them split right down the middle we were shooting at about 75 yards.
2 seconds in and I'm smiling!
Hickok45 you have infectious laughter.
I have a Ruger model 77 in a 30.06...I love that gun
oh you DO hunt, Hickok....you're an expert at 2-Liters
"Hickok Twain,"
...Love these leg - pulling stories!
Thanks too - for your efforts producing these great videos...
As a hunter, I REALLY appreciate this kind of video. Thank you, hickok!
Great video as always. Keep them coming!
I have a Ruger Hawkeye in .338 Win Mag myself. It's a lovely round. Not so popular here in the UK as it's a bit big for our game, but I enjoy shooting it. It's nice to see you doing a review of it.
I love seeing Hickok laugh when he’s impressed by the gun’s destructive capabilities it’s funny
Love Ruger Hawkeyes, especially the guide gun. Glad to see it on your channel!
I had one for years. I loved it what turned me on was that shot almost as flat as a .270 or a .243 Winchester but with twice the power
I own one of these in 338 win mag and took an elk with it a little over a year ago. I'm with you Hickok, I don't enjoy shooting a 338, but in this gun with the muzzle brake it's quite enjoyable to shoot. Interestingly too, when I switch to the weighted attachment on the end, the point of impact doesn't change much at all. Great gun.
I love your videos, great stuff Hickok!! I also love the way this gun loads, the bullets go in the top, so straightforward...I wish everything was that simple. like a break open double barrel!!
I love ruger I’ve always been impressed with what they produce
Mr.Hickok45 . I'm a fan from all the in Kuwait (Middle East) watching your videos I like what I see man
Have been buying federal ammo just because of your videos. Just wanted to say this so that you/them will see this and they will know that their support to you really does pay off! I know i'm definitely not the only one. Great video and awesome gun.
38 YEARS IN AFRICA the 338 win magnum is the finest caliber i have ever hunted with ... killed with one shot every time , never had a wounded animal, accuracy was amazing in all four 338's i owned ... Great cartridge for reloading, Brass lasts forever .. wide range of projectiles from 300 grain to 210 grain . long distance sniping (head shots at 1000 yards ) on baboons use 250 grain sierra boat tail with 74.5 grains of Norma mrp + cci mag primer .. teamed up with 36x Leupold target scope and harris bipod ...
The mighty .338 Win mag!!
225gr @ 2,840fps, 4,029ft-lbs
Hornady Index of Terminal Standards score: 1,796
Chuck Hawks killing power score: 89.2 @ 100 yards
Taylor Knock-Out Factor: 30.9
That'll put a hole in just about anything!
LOL
Not out of a 20 inch barrel.
Hickok, I have very much enjoyed the .375 and .338 video's sir. I like the bolt guns..they make me happy.
When my grandfather passed away, my dad inherited his 1980s Ruger M77 22-250 with a Burris scope and bull-barrel
I bought my great-uncle's 1976 Ruger M77 in .243 a few days before my 19th birthday in 2019, a very fantastic rifle, my great-uncle has since passed away as well, the rifle is not only a shooter, but it's a memento of him as well.
love the .338. I own three. An older M77 blued...a weatherby vanguard stainless and a Mossberg patriot. I may just have to make this my 4th:)
Would love to see you demonstrating how much work it is maintaining your range! Awesome.
I love his laugh after everytime he shoots a badass gun
Great slow motion at the end, sounded like you were loading and firing a howitzer. Thanks for the great videos guys.
Enjoy these videos allows me to sample a lot of guns I wouldn’t otherwise know anything about. Thank you
Awesome! My Grandpa that recently past away handed down his Browning 338. win mag B.A.R. safari edition to me. I hunt white tail with it and lets just say I don't need to blood trail anymore!
I’m 3 years late, so hopefully you’ve not sold that gem. But holy cow that’s a helluva rifle from a financial standpoint! Super jealous
love that zoom in at 10:48
scsmrcw : Considering that fly as a target, maybe. Too much gun?? Nah.
scsmrcw I love your picture and where you posted this comment
Bumble Bunny theres no such thing as too much gun
romeo davis where i posted the comment?
i find it kind of funny when someone with an anime picture posts on a gun video. there is something humorous about guns+anime girls.
Ouch! My shoulder hurts just watching you HK 45. Love your videos. Thanks!
That's hands down the nicest looking rifle I've seen in a long time. really loving it, and the videos keep it up!
I think Ruger’s three position safety is the best most innovative ever.....some done like the positioning but I hunted a lot of years with a Ruger and it never was a problem for me....no ethical hunter would have a problem with it.
Much respect to you sir! You shoot that thing with incredible accuracy with open sights and while standing up! I wouldn't dare shoot like that with my Sako 85 kodiak in 338!
Perhaps YOU need to practice more, not all shooting takes place in a perfect world. Put on your man pants and burn up a few boxes doing what he does. If it's too much for you, sell it and find a caliber more suited to what you can handle. No sense having a rifle that you can't handle or makes you nervous when it's really needed.
Read the Alaska state game regs on brown bear hunting, they recommend you get a 30-06 if the bigger guns are too much to handle.
Hickock, you are the best. I really enjoy these videos.
Thanks for sharing this @hickok45. Love these large bore rifles!! Life is good!
*likes before watching*
Nice. video, I have a Browning A-Bolt 338 with a boss system on it , thry're. a. hoss
Diamond - Tropic t
Yes, but reliable (: )
O O f liked before I clicked on the video
I think that's the standard practice with a Hickok45 Video. I have never seen one that I didn't enjoy.
Handy to have in case one comes across a CopperHeadedRattleMoccasin or a large JackALope.
Had a good friend that loved his .338WM, while I preferred the .300WM for long range deer, elk and moose hunting (and the occasional bear). While we loved hunting, we did a LOT of weekend 'paper killing' after working up custom handloads for our respective rifles. What we found after ranging, chronographing, penetration testing, etc., was that the .338WM has a LOT MORE 'trajectory curve' than the .300WM (do NOT confuse the .338WM with the Lapua round, at ALL...Lapua has a LOT more flatness)...and in the end, found that I had about 200-yards more effective range than his .338WM for the same 'brush cover' in actual hunting. Yes, he could easily load 200 and 220 grains for his rifle...and even more, but the trajectories looked like a .30-30's as you went over 220...and being made fun of, because you are firing a HOWITZER (with associated trajectory arch) isn't cool...not when the guy with the .300WM is shooting 168-grains out to 1000 yards and staying SOLID in the 7-ring or better! Can't kill Elk if you can't HIT THE ELK!!!
What a beautiful rifle. Thanks so much. A very Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I just received a beautiful Ruger 77 MKII Blued with a wood stock, Leupold VXII in 338 Win Mag. Haven't gotten to shoot it yet, thanks for the video. Now I'm drooling. I watch your stuff all of the time. I was wondering if I could get some clippings from a Laminate Tree to splice into a Virginia Pine just to see what will happen. Thanks. :-)
Excellent rifle. I have a Reminton 700 BDL in this great cartridge. Thank for your videos.
Oscar Lott bdl is a great action I’ve got one in 308
Great review hickok45. You can't bet the price on a Ruger for what you get. Ruger's are so reliable and great for reloading too. Thank You hickok45
You know it's gonna be a good time when Hickok45 uploads

"If it hurt too much I wouldn't shoot it".
"WWeeeellll, I'd shoot it a few times"..
what a gunoholic! lol
338 Win Mag did me proud in South Africa
I’ve always wanted do Africa about all l can afford is a 338 win. I’ve heard other good words about it, gave up on okla. Hunting because of all the crazies.
I think this is my favorite long gun I have seen you guys shoot all year
love the sound of racking the bolt in slow motion.
"Everyone has been made for a particular job and the desire for that work has been put into every heart" (Rumi.) Thank you Sr to show us your wonderful heart.
The wood from your trees is awesome. Can you give me some advise on growing my carbon fiber crop?
To add the fourth round you have to press the first three into the magazine allowing the fourth round to be chambered using the bolt; it works very well. I usually load four for elk hunting but rarely use more than one round with the 250 grn Speer Grand Slam bullet at 2600 fps. Great gun and cartridge combination. Great video, as usual.
that bolt sounds sweet!!! Thanks for all your informative videos!!!!
I think it's great that you can enjoy and appreciate hunting rifles even though you are not a hunter! I hunt very little but own several 'hunting rifles' 270s, 300wm, 45-70, 6.5x55, etc. They are a ton of fun too shoot!
I would highly recommend the 338 win mag! I would suggest a different model, maybe a Winchester model 70.
Such a unique, sturdy/ tank like rifle. LOVE that it has a Mauser style action and a huge fan of the safety. I researched the guide gun and after watching countless videos and reading up on Ruger forums from other folks who own this rifle, I had to buy one! I ordered one chambered in 30-06 and can’t wait to be called Mr “Aught Six Plinkster” ha ha.
Glad these have iron sights as well as the Ruger milled scope ring attachment points. Very versatile.
Would love a video on the 458 win mag!
My first chance to fire this guy (.338 win mag) was when I was 12. I remember it well; I had to stop at 8 shots! 😂
I like that laminate coloring, the green just seems to say 'take me out to the woods' :) Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the look at the Ruger M77 Guide Gun, might be on my list for a new Hunting rifle. 30-06 or 300 win model and not that cannon. OUCH!
I'd like to add a big bore open sight long gun to the collection but don't think I could afford to shoot this one. Probably go with .308 unless I can harvest .338 carts off the laminate tree.
Wow there is a huge difference between the 338 win mag and the 338 Lapua. I always thought they were pretty similar but watching your video made me look up the Ballistics and roughly a 1000 foot pounds of energy difference. Cool gun wish it held 5 rounds non the less very cool rifle👍
I don't see a four-round capacity being any meaningful disadvantage in a hunting rifle; I routinely load my M77 Mark II/Hawkeye rifles in .30-'06, .358 Win, and .338 RCM with three: One for the chamber and two on standby in the magazine. I rarely am forced to dip into the magazine.
Look up the numbers on a 8mm Rem mag. Overlooked powerhouse. VERY similar to the Lapua
If you need 5 rounds of 338 something has gone terribly wrong.
You guys have a fun job!, Love 338 mag. Good design in my opinion.Thanks.
Guns and dad jokes my Saturday nights have changed over the years.
Way funnier comedian then Amy Schumer
That's not difficult to begin with
Yeah, that’s a pretty low threshold.
Better looking too....
Liked this video at the term "Laminate Tree" xD
The first Centerfire rifle I ever purchased in 1979 was a Model 77 and 7 mm mag with what I believe to be was a 26-in thin barrel. The rifle weighed 9 lb. And I got a load for 140 grain Spire point and some tips on how to load it that was loaded with I believe 69 grains of h4350. Which was three grains over Max of any load in any book anywhere at the time. But I trusted the bench rest Champion that gave me the load. And it fired my first group was a 20-round group that fired into a hole that the extreme edge of the hole didn't measure more than .33".
I fired several 20 round groups into that small of a group with both Hornady Spire Point 140 grain and Sierra Spire point and 140 grain, which were two completely different design ogive bullets. The Model 77 is capable of phenomenal accuracy. Beyond anything that I've ever seen a Remington or a Winchester model 70 produce.
These rifles chambered in 375 Ruger have become very popular where I'm from. I work at the local gun store and we've sold a literal ton of these. Main reasons for the popularity is the stopping power for grizzlies, and they make an excellent round for dropping a 2000lb bison
Do you ship laminate tree wood abroad? I live in the UK.
Always love watching your videos but I have to hide my wallet for a couple of days afterward.
I have the left hand version of this and it is one of my favorite rifles. It is my go-to hunting rifle here in Alaska for moose and bear. The laminate stock is a bit heavier than the cheaper composites, but has held up well for me.
What a beautiful piece of craftsmanship
Would love to see a review on the REMINGTON 721
Why? 60 year old rifle?
"Respect My Authoritah" says the .338 Winchester Magnum.
Great video Mr Hickok. Super fun time. 👍
The impact is instantaneous!
beautiful boomstick
maybe you right, more than me.
Во Ва a shotgun is a smoke Pole
i want one 😭😭😭😭
gaming for fun me too
gaming for fun I think it comes from the factory packed in testosterone.
keep wanting
I do too! And I never before considered a bolt action. :-D
Their is just something about the sound of a well working bolt action rifle that sounds so good
How Hickok has never developed a flinch amazes me
An awesome gun! You should consider doing a 375 Ruger
I have that chambering in my guide gun, I love it. 270 grain at 2750 fps from a 9 lb rifle (with scope) that is only 40" long. It was perfect for taking my moose last fall. And really is not too punishing either.
@@ericstrabel whats the recoil like with the brake on?
@@megan6228 I can only say that I thought I could definitely handle more recoil with it, so I took it off and it's been fine without. The only problem is when I am at the range shooting 20 or more rounds, then my shoulder hurts.
I'd love to see your take on your top 5. Even a top five handguns , top five rifles , and top five shotguns. One video each. Please thumb up this comment people!!
338 is awesome, thanks for all your informative videos.....I have an m77 mark 2 in 220 swift ....
That slow mo sound was sweet!
What's the difference between 338 lapua, and 338 Winchester?
Lapua has the ability to travel much farther than the WM, and its a bit longer in size. Lapua is the superior round, however the box cost is pretty damn high, which is keeping me away from it, but, Im not trying to make no 1 mi. shots.
Devir Andersen yea and to get that long mile shot it is substantially a lot more recoil Than the .338 Winmag also for just 350 to 400 FPS more. A lapua I think is good in combat where you would need to be very far past 300 yds to decrease your chances of getting shot at or detected while sniping in a war environment. Just my thoughts
.338, powerful medicine.
Wow!! That round hits HARD!!
The wood grain is so beautiful on those guns
