Um... In Finland we have minimal power cartridges defined for most animals, I think. We even have a minimal power requirement for bunnies, which is lower than that for rabbits and hares. For example class 2 is defined as energy at 100 meters being over 800J, with a bullet weight of at least 3.2 grams (examples given are 222 Rem, 223 Rem, 22 PPC USA, 6 PPC USA, 22-250 Rem, 7×33 Sako and 7.62×39), and is allowed for roe deer, seal, wolf, lynx, wolverine, beaver and mouflon, and any game from the lower classes. Class 4 is the highest, for moose etc. Energy at 100 meters > 2700 J, bullet weight at least 9 g, or energy at 100 meters > 2000 J, bullet weight at least 10 g, or lead free energy at 100 meters > 1900 J and bullet weight at least 7,5 grammaa. Calibers: 6.5×55 SE, 270 Win, 270 Wby Mag, 7 mm-08, Rem, 7×57, 7x65R, 7×64, 280 Rem, 7 mm Rem Mag, 7 mm Wby Mag, 7 mm STW, 308 Win, 7.62x53R, 30-06, 300 Win Mag, 300 WSM, 300 Wby Mag, 30-378 Wby Mag, 8.2x53R, 8x57JS, 8x57JRS, 338 Win Mag, 338 Lapua Mag, 340 Wby Mag, 9.3x53R, 9.3x74R, 9.3×62, 9.3×66 Sako, 375 H&H Mag, 416 Rem Mag, 6,5 Creedmoor ja 260 Rem. Allowed for moose, bear, boar, and other animals in the list. These are primarily for reasons of mercy, to increase the likelihood of the animal dying fast. Now, in AFRICA this might be different, since the wildlife is way more dangerous.

@@jubuttib petty much same in Sweden. But the "moose rifle" is class 1 and the weakest one is class 4.

jubuttib Exactly! The larger cartridges aren’t necessary to reliably kill the game, but they are needed to reliably stop a dangerous game animal at close range when someone’s life is on the line!

@@jeffreyroot6300 yep. There's a big difference between a round that can ethically take a big critter versus a round that can reliably stop one.

The good one. The one worth watching.

@@ADRay1999 Does it matter?

My point was to provide historical perspective. If you want more velocity and energy that is fine BUT many hunters get by very well by loading 100 to 130 year old smokeless chamberings to original factory velocities and sometimes (given that average hunting distances tend to be 30m or less) 5-10 % below those velocities (taking full advantage of modern bullet manufacturing quality standards). The velocity race is an artefact of military specifications. Yes, it can be fun and ... yes higher velocities are a big thing with recreational varmint control BUT it is often more about buying more expensive projectiles, propellants cases, barrels, actions and sights than satisfying an actual need. That being said, each to their own.

Cyclone Bravo Not ‘my’ 30-06 (wrong end of the planet) although I do own a rifle in that chambering. As previously stated, I provided some historical context. By the way, there is no practical standard magazine length (which is what really counts) for a ‘short action’. You could describe anything from a Savage Model 20 to a Brno ZKK 601 (or Mexican Mauser) as a short action rifle. The .376 Steyr is a niche cartridge that, in my opinion, will probably become a case-forming project for dedicated users within the next twenty years. I doubt that I will ever acquire one, especially given that a Swedish sporter in 9.3x57 would be easier, cheaper and more practical for me to buy, reload for and use in the local bush although I already have a Brno Volkspolizei Mod. 98 rifle (8.2x57 JS) with a Lyman 57 backsight and a barleycorn foresight that I have filed to create Patridge-style sharp-edges (for good definition). Breathe easy, enjoy your hunting and shooting; and keep yourself and your family safe in these Covid 19 times. I reckon that we have done this topic to death.

376 is loaded to higher pressure than the H&H . The ruger is also loaded to a higher pressure.

Boer War III - The Boers invade Britain.

Nah we don't want to invade Britain. As far as we are concerned it is a cold and miserable place... @Sandy Jones, no there are not a lot of West Africans involved in South Africa's crime. As a white South African farmer I have to admit that the crime in South Africa is rife, it's an endemic really. But that being said, it does appear as if farmers are being targeted. Farms get attacked and people get tortured and murdered with very few things stolen. Also, the rhetoric coming from the government - one settler one bullet / kill a Boer kill a farmer - doesn't help a lot.

As a history student In have to applaud you - yes the black people of Southern Africa have originally came from "the land of the lakes" - meaning somewhere between Rwanda and Malawi. But, that being said, the Khoi and the San (separate groups, one being herdsman and the other hunter-gatherers) also came from the North

Damn those 300gr rounds sound HOT!

Very similar to"watch this"

One of the reasons Cooper wanted the scope mounted so far forward was so that the rifle could be reloaded with stripper clips. What is an "LPVO"? Low power variable optic? The scope doesn't make it as muzzle heavy as it would be if it had a heavy barrel and a scope mounted in the traditional location. Muzzle heavy is generally fine because we support the rifle underneath. Muzzle light and the stock wants to slip off your shoulder and the forend doesn't rest in your far hand. you have to put your far hand on top of the rifle to keep it from pointing skyward. nearly all rifles are muzzle heavy and it's better to be way to muzzle heavy then just a little muzzle light.

@@brianwilson4861 I don’t think modern guns are built for stripper clips anymore. I could be wrong though.

I flinched reading your comment. I can't imagine that sledgehammer of recoil going entirely into the shoulder from these rifles.

Definitely not in the same class as a .375, but the first gun I ever fired (that wasn't a .22lr) was a break action, single 20g H&R. Very light. I was 8'ish. Dad had me back up to the rear tire of a friend's farm tractor. I don't know if he did it on purpose or not, but I refused to fire a shotgun again for 5 years...

@@3928damian I can shoot a 20Ga all day long, but obviously not leaning back into anything! My Brother back in the 80's "won" a _single-shot 10Ga_ shotgun for selling magazine subscriptions to the Northwest Hunting and Fishing News. It made sense for him because he was hunting a lot of geese at the time. He took one shot with the 10Ga and never shot it again. I've still got the remainder of that box of ammunition. Dunno what ever happened to the shotgun. He want back to Dad's double barrel 12Ga after that, a heavier gun with less recoil and a backup shot on hand.

@@tarmaque I've no problem with shotguns now. In fact, my go-to turkey load is a 3.5" 12g. That light 20g though, especially when I was used to nothing more powerful than .22lr, and with my (much smaller than now) shoulder wedged between it and a huge tire... Ouch!

@@3928damian The first time I ever shot something bigger than 12 gauge birdshot was a 3" 12 gauge turkey load while I was leaning against a tree. I got the turkey but the recoil was stout enough I dropped the gun.

@@whitdodge1851 Totally wasn't meant to be but I see how it reads like that! Barely cost me any more than people pay for regular monitors all the time at big box stores.

I'd think that the concepts are fundamentally incompatible. Bolt action is useless on a service rifle and semi auto is illegal for hunting in way too many areas.

The difference between the Scout concept and WWSD is that the Scout was invented from whole clothe for a fictional character, seriously Cooper was inspired by a novel. WWSD is based on more real world applications

Interesting thought, I wonder what form something like that would take.

POF Rogue rifle.

@@wintermute1 I just can't get with the scout scope. I think Ian did a video on why the scout rifle idea is flawed.

You’re kidding, right? Intermediate cartridges are designed to be easy to shoot. Almost as bad as people complaining about .45 ACP!

Back when I had a firearms certificate (and the money to go shooting!) I had a Ruger No1 in 30.06 with a lightweight barrel. One guy at my club (bigger than me) took one shot and handed it back to me. Another guy, when I told him what calibre it was, didn't want to go anywhere near it! Some people are just "recoil shy". Not me, I have shot clay pigeon with a muzzle loading 8 bore!

@@jeffreyroot6300 I should've been more accurate. I mean that is has a lot of kick and blowback and don't complain about it would heard to shoot it. Of course after about 50 rounds you are gonna change your opinion because that is what you are feeling in your shoulder in the next morning

Man I love the AUG Change my opinion if the 7.62x39? I don’t think so, but extended shooting of 12 gauge and .30-06 left me feeling it! I’m not really tempted to try the .375s. And I have no practical purpose for them either! What gets me are the people who complain about a 5.56. One person complained they got a bruised shoulder from qualifying with an M16A2. I found that hard to believe, that’s just a light push to the shoulder.

@@jeffreyroot6300 Tbh I habe sadly never shot 30.06. But I plan to change it. I don't want to change your mind and also would say that it can differ between people what they would say hearts to shoot and what not but of course a shotgun slug will heart after shooting it continueesly, I'm 100% on you with that. I would (I know this is crasy but still) want to experience the feeling of a handheld minigun. I always see this ridiculess super unrealistic video games where 1 man RUNS around with like an M134 and shoot it without stopping. If that would be possible I want to do that for an hour.

Wait until you find out what "pith" is.

Meant to keep your head cool

Also based on a kind of Filipino hat. Most are made out of cork, though one kind is made out of sholapith. The idea was to keep the hat light.

The scout scope, is long eye relief so the shooter can keep both eyes open and have good vision around the area, highly helpful in a place where shots are close and the targeted game eats you. it also allows very quick snap shots and shots on running game. it takes some time in the field to get used to it, it is not a great range scope for shooting tiny little groups at 300 yrds.
