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

Me too

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 .

Welcome home

M60a2 BEING COMPARED TO THE M16? The M60a2 is the "Patton" battle tank.

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

Appreciate you watching Daniel

Thanks for watching Sean!

I have about 10 videos up on this rifle

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.

Hey Zak may

@@jamespugh hey man

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Martin

Here the ammo is about the same price as everything else

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

Thanks for watching!

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

Thanks for watching Cory!

My .204 Ruger has become my favorite.

Always appreciate you watching!

Unfortunately I don't have any elk tags this yeer

@@WHOTEEWHO That is unfortunate 😕 white tail it is then🙂

Appreciate you watching William!

@@WHOTEEWHO An Aussie pal of mine wanted to reach out and touch "something" with a rifle, i saw the ad in American Hunter for the 6.8, said hey, you might like this more than the 6.5 CM. He was looking into 338 lapua, made metion of 6.8 and he took interest. I appreciate what you do. Liked. Subscribed. And sharing. WhoTeeWho.

👍👍

Thanks for watching Dave

Yup. I got the cheapest one!
