Hahaha hells yea ..i asked bout doing these last week ..this is gonna help me pick my riffle out .thanks wtw
Thanks for watching Chase
Always supporting my fellow tennessean
Well i actually have a problem with the 6.8 western name itself..... since 6.8 is the depth of the rifling....... But u see, the actual bullet, is a 7mm diameter bullet ... so why not just call it a 7mm western instead..?
@@WHOTEEWHO you finally did it! I told you putting a sponsor in a video wouldnt be bad. Now you just need "RAID SHADOW LEGENDS" to hit you up lol
I want to see you hunt everything! I hunt with a 7mm-08 and 300 win mag. The 6.8 is unreal!!
I filmed a Whitetail hunt last year with my 7mm-08. Dropped it!
I hunt with an old ass mauser. 7.92x57mm i believe.
7mm mag is closer in balistics then 7mm 08
@@hhds4716 that’s because the 6.8 case is the same diameter as a 7mm mag. It’s actually a modified 270wsm case . Making it essentially a 6.8 short magnum.
I was thinking about a 7-08 as I dont enjoy shooting a light weight 308. The 6.8 muddies the waters a bit. Have to shoot one .
Wow two years old ! You don't know how happy I am to see this cartridge work well with the XPR I hope it works just as well with the 70 Thanks for this one :) , Tom
Short action seems to rule the day. That 6.8 with 175s is approaching, or matching, 7mm Rem mag performance with similar weight bullets. If the .270 Win had similar twist barrel it could bring those high BC bullets into play at slightly less speed and give it some new life.
All your collecting has given me the "fever" to add new guns, even if I don't add new cartridges.
It all comes down to twist rate. Doesn't it. Like if the all the calibers have all the same twist rate. Example the twist rate for the 7mm'er have 1 n 9 or even 1 n 8 or even the 270 the 257 or the, 30 calibers. I things would have different. Short action or long action would have no meaning in bullet coefficient. Right think about.
@@frankiejones4816 Newer powders, newer bullets, and faster twist rates have contributed to many new cartridges. Making a different cartridge altogether allows the innvations to get upside without the downsides. Shooting a 175 gr in .270 Win would be similar to shooting 195 in .30-06, the lower speeds would not gain all the advantages of the higher BC bullets, AND the bullets would need to fit in all of the extant chambers, and maintain the pressure limits of them as well. New and improved does NOT negate the value of the original.
The 6.8 is basically a .270 wsm with the loading specifications of a 7mm
From what I see it has better performance than the 7mm
It's all about barrel twist ,the same story between the 243 and the 6mm and Winchester won that debate some 60 years ago
Quick tip -to sight rifle in - shoot one shot, adjust scope cross hairs to hole in target.
I used the 7.62 X 51 (308) in vietnam M-60 a2 worked lots better than the MATEL TOY M16. 4th inf.div. Dak-tko, pleiku, Kun-toom. 10th armored. 1969
Welcome home
M60a2 BEING COMPARED TO THE M16?
The M60a2 is the "Patton" battle tank.
I hunt with a .257 wby mag this sucker is a lightning bolt from Hell dropped a monster 7x7 Bull Elk with it last December.
6.8 really has my interest peaked.
Me too
I really don't hunt in an area where shots get past 300 yards to often myself, but that doesn't mean i dont want one also, excited about the evening
@@TsunauticusIV wow ….. well sounds like the deer was killed out right lol
I would buy a 6.8 Western if I didn't have a 7 mm Rem Mag and also a 270 Winchester already. 😕 although I do like the fact that it is a short action cartridge 🏆
The look of the cartridge reminds me of the 6.5 Remington Mag. It had the power of a 30:06; but better yet, had a muzzle velocity of over 3200 ft/sec. The rifle was a Remington carbine model 660. I loved the rifle and the cannon like cartridge. I never understood why it did not catch on, and was eventually phased completely out. For those reasons the 6.8 interests me. Thanks for your channel.
"It makes me happy when they're touching" should make for a good shirt design haha
Beautiful family WTW!! You’re a blessed man!!
Man that's a sweet rifle. I would love to see you get a 17 WSM and see what you can do with it. I love mine. Took my first bobcat with it. Thanks from east Tennessee for the great content.
Finally got to watch. I was locked out of the vid for ten mins or so. But 6.8 looks awesome. You basically just seasoned in the barrel with some copper. I bet it shoots even better than how nice it already shoots when it gets some rounds threw it. I’m impressed as always. Good shooting. These are my favorite vids
AGAIN thank you for your time and effort putting this video together.
Appreciate you watching Daniel
You shooting this caliber has me interested in owning one. Thanks WTW!
Good caliber. Reminds me of 280 Ackley Improved ballistics. Very promising results. Looking forward to all the future footage. Elk rifle for sure.
Yeah I’m a a big 280ai guy and they are very close. The only thing better is you can get heavier bullets for the 280 and when you reload you can really push way past what a person thinks is possible.
Man this round looks like a lot of fun
Hey Zak may
@@jamespugh hey man
Wait isn't this just the WSM or the WSSM? I swear it seems like the same cartridges are being reinvented over and over again
The real difference from the previous 270 magnums is it being designed around heavier bullets for the caliber. Proper twist rate to launch heavy bullets that perform better at long range. Pretty much bringing the same goals that most of the recent 6.5 cartridges have to a larger caliber.
It's identical to 270 wsm
The twist on the 270 wsm is 1 n 10
The twist on the 6.8 western is 1 n 8
Which make shooting the heavy bullets good. If you have a 270 wsm with the same twist. Well. everything well be identical. Don't believe me put the two cartridge next to each other.
Srill don't believe what you see.
Find someone that has a 270 wsm and compare the two. After that you form your own opinion.
Put it this if you ever burn out your 270wsm Rebarrel l your wsm with the same caliber with a 1 n 8 and you won't fine any difference between the two.
Find someone that shoots the 270 wsm with a twist that has 1 n 8 twist.
@Frankie Jones, PSA, do not chamber 6.8 western cartridge in a rifle chambered in 270 wsm! You’re basically on the right train of thought, Winchester and browning took the 270wsm case, bumped the shoulder back, and gave it a faster twist barrel. They are extremely similar, but not interchangeable. Firing 6.8 western in a 270wsm chamber will result in excessive headspace, which is potentially damaging to both the rifle and the shooter. Fortunately because Winchester bumped the shoulder back, 270 wsm will not chamber in a 6.8 western rifle.
Got misunderstood. Thanks for the information. Yes I know it won't chamber. So don't try to chamber a 6.8 in a 270 wsm.(this is a part I did not or got to mention in my comment)
Ballistic is going to be the same (was my intention to get across in my comment) also (the 270 wsm and the 6.8 western one won't have an edge over the other) was my intention. Thanks for your comment
Out of all the new cartridges this is the only one i want . Its like a 270 WSM but maybe with better BC . I envy you sometimes brotha 😆 keep up the great vidz
Bought 20 boxs of this ammo in anticipation that the rifles would soon be available. Been waiting on a winchester model with a threaded Barrel for 5 months now.
Those rounds are use for Big gang if hunters going to go Hunt Bucks or Bears and they need a rifle just in case and Bear charge at them
Looks like it really shoots well. That XPR appears to do well.
That’s one sweet looking setup you got there mate it might have just moved to the top of my have to get list cheers Yogi 🇦🇺🤙🤙
I never even heard of that caliber until I seen your ammo score video yesterday.
Thats such a ridiculous looking round
I love it
The first shot was with a cold bore. The chances are, most hunting shots will be taken with a cold bore. The barrel expands when it heats up, and some barrels wander slightly, then find their sweet spot when they're at temperature. I would check your cold-bore shot a few more times before calling that "good", if you're gonna be using that for a long-range hunting rig.
Just my thoughts.
I've also heard that the chamber warms up which in turn warms up the gunpowder of the next cartridge especially if you leave it in for 30 seconds or more before firing
Can't Believe you got that bullseye on your first shot while sighting in! 😂That never happens!
Thanks for supporting Aussie shooter's, I seen you on the podcast with those two blokes. (Can't remember the channel name?)
All the best mate!
Yes!!! So excited about 6.8 Western vids. I've been very interested in it's performance! I just picked up a hybrid 46 from silencer co. Wonder how quite it can be with a threaded bolt action???
Perfect for sheep, goats, pronghorn, mulies, and elk in the mountainous west. All you need in the east is a lightly loaded 308-243 etc.
Come on people this is a great channel with just fun things to watch ,let’s get him up to a million subscription he sure could us the support, I don’t know about you but I enjoy who do you and I can’t wait for every video you put out
Sweet New rifle WHOTEE I've been researching this round and loving what I see thanks again for another great video 👍👍
Thanks for watching Sean!
Looks like a great elk rifle would love to see you get on paper at a mile.
Holy sh1t those bullets look terrifying!
That’s good ballistics mate 👍🇦🇺Nothing wrong with being a budget friendly guy as long as it works and doesn’t fail. Good size scope.. good groups mate..... keep up the great work ... HOGS 😂
Nice rifle, can’t wait to see more of it. 👍
Always wondered about the 6.8 western. Nice.
ありがとうございます！
King of the Hill… I keep waiting for him to say “damn it Dale.”
I like seeing new bullets. I've got .224 valkery. A 6.8 spc and 6 creedmore and 6.5 creedmore
That 6.8 western is a man, can’t wait for video WhoTeeWho!!
Thanks for watching Cory!
Scope ring height drives me nuts too. I like my scopes as low as I can get them, but there’s no good way of getting the correct height without some guesswork or buying multiple sizes. I usually just guess mediums and hope for the best.
Most of our deer are shot within 30 yards.
That sled is so wobbly. Rear bag and bipod would be nice I think.
You need some lead shot bags for that lead sled. Will absorb some of the recoil and keep it from moving around.
I'd like to see some vs with the 6.8 western and 6.5 creedmoor
That first shot at 100 though...thumbs up 👍
Everything is budget friendly except for the ammo! Been looking forward to more vids about this one. For hunting I don't see much of an advantage over my good old .270WIN, But I'm toying with the idea of chambering and AR upper in it. I think that will make a fun long range toy! I'm looking forward to see how that scope will do on long range targets. Keep up the great work!
Here the ammo is about the same price as everything else
We are truly living in a golden age of firearms
Good to see you with some sponsors! Looks like a fun game
Looks like a fast flying round.
I’ve heard very good things on the 6.7 as far as Long Range goes. I hear it can really reach out there and touch them. My brother lives in Nebraska and hunts with a 300 and he said that the pronghorn have excellent eyesight and are very good at staying out to pretty far rifle range. I haven’t got to go hunt with him yet but this sounds challenging and sounds like a great hunting opportunity for that 6.7. That’s what I would like to see you go hunt who tee.
I'm getting the browning x bot western hunter in 6.8 western, I'm going to throw a vortex viper hs 4-16x50 on it. I'm curious to see how the difference between the winchester and the browning will be. I'm very excited to see the videos you make on this caliber, can't wait for the ballistics gel or water jug test!!!
This is about to be very fun comment , you have very nice and beautiful family, god bless all of you, 6.8 western is power full cartridge but I don’t know about the drapes shooting Lang range,
I heard 28, nuzzler it’s very good and low drapes at Lang range, thanks for your awesome video clip,👍
The ammo looks like something NASA would send up cool video,hey to Paul Jr.
That was awesome !
Thanks for watching!
Love the XPR and the 6.8! Elk would be a great hunt with this one.
Unfortunately I don't have any elk tags this yeer
@@WHOTEEWHO That is unfortunate 😕 white tail it is then🙂
in old school usmc boot camp, we had the range of 1000" (1000 inches). If I recall correctly, your zero would be the same as at 200 yards. of course this is 5.56 and completely irrelevant other than I wanted to throw out the 1000inch distance :)
Take this 6.8 western out to a mile. Also I love hunting clash too.
Will be interesting to see the water jugs and clay blocks with it.
👍👍
Well' No wonder you shoot so well. You got all those pRO'S Teaching you. lol!
You are the perfect guy to showcase the 7mm Shooting Times Westerner. You’ll be WTW’in all over the place when you take that bad boy out for a spin.
I'm sold on this round! Reading up on it, the 165-grain Nosler ABLR round that Winchester loads will deliver more energy at 500 yds than a 180-grain .300 WM. In a nutshell, they took a .270 WSM case, shortened it slightly, and put longer heavier bullets in it to make the 6.8 Western cartridge. To stabilize those bullets they gave the Winchester rifles a 1-in-8" twist, and the Browning rifles got a 1-in-7.5" twist.
Next bolt gun I get will be a Browning X-bolt Max Long Range chambered in 6.8 Western. Best of luck ringing that 1-mile doorbell!
Sweet. Local store had browning speed in 6.8, I had to get it. Pretty 😎
I believe in 5R rifring barrel of model 700 Remington.
I was thinking 7-08 or a 6.5 creedmore , but this is really cool. Except for the ammo cost...my air guns are for high volume shooting.
Nice rifle and scope combo.
WTW Enjoyed watching, like to see you take that long range shot you were talking about and hunt a Bear with this!
We can't rush to judgment shooting one load through one rifle. Barrel twist, barrel length, load development, chamber cut will all make a difference. With any load, testing and troubleshooting will come into play. They all need to be dialed in. Many new rifle cartridges died because these other elements weren't right and ppl rushed to judgment.
It's not filling some niche that was missed, its just another cartridge that's a bit different. It's parent cartridge still put performs it with one load. I'm more excited to see people re barrel the 270wsm and push these new bullets faster to see what they can really do.
Pretty cool the only thing i never seen that ammo on the shelf . I try to stay with the common cal the only odd ball cal is my ruger 204 love that round
My .204 Ruger has become my favorite.
Good video looking forward to seeing more...
I have about 10 videos up on this rifle
I got the paper plate target idea from you! It's cheap and it's simple! I can't wait to see you shoot this rifle at 1000 yards👍👍👍
Always appreciate you watching!
Glad you a real Dad.!
I am super excited about it No Doubt
Scope looks good monted. 👍
Man I hope to have one of them some day
Beautiful family God bless 🙏
Great caliber there. I'd like to see it vs the .308 on clay blocks.
Who tee who!!!
I can see some smashing watermelons or clay blocks with this setup.
Good looking rig, bud! Slick rifle for sure.
Awesome! We’ll be here
cold barrel first shot bullseye , should of left it where it was , the groups turned out pretty good
If you remember there was always one round on the crono that was different, it shows on the target
I may check it out.
It looks great in joyed the video
That`s one hot round .
Nice rig, nice boomin, 👍🏻👍🏻
I would like to see you review more BCA uppers because they are in our price range.
The 6.8 is a wicked cartridge
Nice gun great video I'm true fan.. I'd like to see you test the 6.8 vs 6.5 pcr @ 150 to 200 yards.
Hey who tee who! I think it’d be a neat idea to make a video of you doing your routine like getting all your bing bangs, all the targets, the lead sled, just make a video of you getting everything set up! I wanna see how you do it! Just an idea, keep making great videos!
That's a once in a while gun.
That round looks like a true barrel eater.
Said the same thing to myself when I saw the thumbnail. Looks like the ammo equivalent of nitrous.
2900ish FPS doesn’t exactly scream barrel eater, saami pressure is 65k psi, same as most modern magnums. No more so than standard 270 win in either catergory, just doing it with a heavier bullet.
6.8 Western should not eat barrels any worse than 7mm Rem Mag or similar cartridges. Keep the barrel clean, and don't shoot it to the point it's too hot to touch. For the average hunter, it will last a lifetime or longer. If you are shooting PRC matches, expect a shorter lifespan.
You must have done a good job mounting everything. Looks like a good shooter.
Thanks for watching Dave
I would like to see you use a Tape measure instead of guessing on the group size. Lol. Great job, keep it up.
Who Tee..its a good video. 6.8 Weztern is a pretty nice round. However I will stick with my Browning White Gold Medallion 7mm Rem Mag or my Bergara 6.5 PRC.
I'd still would like to have 6.8Western
Couple 25# bags of shot in the lead sled will make those shooting sessions a LOT more fun.
Great shooting brother! Keep up the great vids!
Thanks for watching!
That round looks like a Ballistic Missile
Why are there any thumb downs? Wtf? If you don’t like it don’t watch it! I personally love it!
I wish I had one! I haven't even seen one in the stores in my town.
Hard to find
How do you like the 6.8 compared to your 300 WSM? I have a 300 WSM but want to get a 6.8 Western. I live in Montana and will be hunting Mule deer and Elk.
I haven't compared bullet drop between those two, but I'd say you'd probably be fine with just the 300
