What an awesome deal! Thank y’all for being so involved with your fan base! I love my Edge, I’m sure this is just as good. Perfect set up for your long distance course!

These kind of videos are contributing to more and more wounded animals not being recovered.

Was told to get a bull under 5x5 but decided to drop a 6x6 LMAO

I shoot targets that are smaller than an elk at 1000 yards, but I wouldn't shoot an elk at 1000. A decent gust of wind and you have a wounded animal. Didn't show where it was hit, I'm guessing it was a bit far back for a lung shot. I could make the same shot with a Savage. :)

I know it was a crazy far shot but from a marketing standpoint I don't think I would have posted a video of an elk needing two shots and then bragging about how awesome the 7 PRC is. That's like bragging about how I have the best broadheads ever and then showing a video of a deer needing to get hit by two of them to go down. Maybe take a closer shot and go for DRT or at least a one shot kill? Either way I'm sure the 7PRC will do fine

Nice shot brother! Keep up the good work. You got a bunch of people pissed off at you on here for being able to do something they can't. Maybe if some of these people watched this video on something bigger than a phone they could see the impact. I bet half of the people on here complaining about this "not being real hunting" can't stay on target at 250 yards. The 7mm PRC is an amazing round. I watched a guy on here hit a 20 inch target with a 7mm PRC from just over 3500 yards, amazing video y'all should check it out. He might have taken 15 shots with a 10 mph to 15 mph wind change. He was within 10 inches of the target on every shot accept the first 2 or 3 shots, and those were just a little low. I was amazed at how accurate that round can be in the right hands.

Thats one sweet rifle. As a fellow LR hunter i kinda get why a lot in the comments got their panties in a bunch. We owe it to the animals to provide clean ethical kills. I love shooting steel to beyond distances like this but have made a mistake or two along the way hunting and have had to suck up my pride and do whats right. Knowing your limitations is really important. A few years back I cut my hunting distances to half that range and pretty much always get bang flops since. And wont shoot unless i know and can favour for the conditions. Personally my limit is around 600m and that’s shooting big critters with big rifles, 7s and 338s in rock steady positions. There’s a lot that can go wrong out at 1000 and beyond and it’s to hard on my conscious to risk that. I’m not a fan of the marketing buy this rifle and you can shoot animals at 1000 yards. I do love the technology and how rifles are advancing and will eventually have a 7prc but shots at those distances for me will be on steel and ill still ideally try to work within 500 regardless of what calibre, bullet setup being used. Impressive speed for that short of a barrel that is certainly one handy and capable rifle. Cheers

“With this expensive rifle you can wound game from a 1000yds too!” - past 500yds there’s exponential bullet drop and an exponential sliding scale of ethics.

Great shot!

This is awesome! I want one to go with the two rifles I already have!

This doesn't feel right to me. If you want to demonstrate how small a target the new 7 mm PRC can hit from 1024 yards you could have used a simple steel plate to do it. There was no need to use that Elk as a marketing guinea pig. It seems like a cruel disservice to the animal. Before I start getting hate messages for voicing my opinion you should know that I am an RMEF and BHA member. I respect these animals too much to try such a long range shot like that. The worst part about it is that now every Tom, Dick and Harry (many of whom have no business shooting out that far at game) on the world wide web is going to want to go into the field and take unethical shots in copy cat fashion.

Honestly though if you guys would have shown the terminal damage and the remains of the bullets, that would have been a better!

I hate that this is where so many are taking hunting. I love long range shooting but it’s mainly so my 400-500 yard shots are now layups. These guys could have easily closed the gap to a range that would have dispatched this bull quickly. Shameful to be excited about a kill that needed 2 shots.

Evidently that combo doesn't produce enough energy to cleanly take a Elk at that range? I'm not sure I would have published this video either. No animal should suffer because of publicity or politics! Love the sevens but you need a 26 or 28 inch barrel to really get the necessary ballistics from the prc 7 to justify that far a shot.

Love that Leica optic.

Nice! Who makes that digital scope level??

Every time you shoot at an animal you risk a non fatal injury. Well unless the elk is glued to your backstop and you are using a lead sled at 50 yards at your local gun range...... Do not try that! I practice at 600 yards. If I had a 7mm PRC I would practice at 1000.

👍👍👍👍🎯💯 I wish KZfaq didn't monetize videos of people harvesting their game‼️ I like watching the field dressing and the pack out portion of the hunt‼️

What a rifle I'm have to get me one and amazing shot

I wanted to see the terminal performance of the eldx at that range. I'm interested in it compared to a berger vld

Hey John, im considering buying a Twisted Rage in 7mm PRC ive been trying to find videos on how they recoil with the brake could u tell me what it would compare to say a 270 win or 3006 with the brake on the 7 PRC? Is the side port brake reduce recoil more then the Radial Brake?

What scope are you using?

What does that rifle weight all up scoped and suppressed? Thanks

5 point management hunt?? Looks like a 6x6 and you stated it was. How does that square?

Awezome, what scope are you using?

when will the 7mm PRC rifles be available?

7 rem mag can also. Chip shot!

So the CF barrels are legit? I'm still little nervous about them. Might stick to all steel. Idk

Why the 22 inch barrel? Don't we want to retain muzzle velocity?

With those specs. that is a 800 yard gun max. You never exceed a 1 sec. T.O.F., at 800 yards you only have 1500 ft/lbs. at 1950 fps. which is almost to slow for that bullet to expand. That was an extreme risk, could not see where you hit the animal. This is how we get so many unclaimed animals these days. A 30-378 with a 250 grain custom hunting bullet could almost do the job at 3200 fps. , at a 1000 yards you would have 2145 fps. 2500+ ft/lbs., and 1.14 sec. T.O.F., Which is pushing the T.O.F. truthfully. That was not an ethical shot, but I am glad you were able to recover the animal.

Wow! Dead center at over 1000. That is unbelievable! Great shot John! Love the Fierce videos. Keep ‘em’ coming.

sweet video!! Cant wait to order my CT Rival!!!

what scope were you running?

Is that a zeiss scope? What size

That's a hell of a shot! Nice job good bull!

This is why more states will move towards 350 legend. 7mm PRC looks awesome to me and I will likely use one asmy go-to big game caliber. No hate on the round and no hate on the rifle. Looks quite nice. But if we hunters can’t self-regulate what reasonable distances are on shooting at game, then gov’t (rightfully) should step in. Regardless of his capabilities at punching holes in paper or hitting steel, this shot never should have been taken. Worse this is an advertisement to sell a rifle so that other would purchase the rifle in hopes of replicating this “hunt.” A lot of animals will get hurt because of this movement. A shame, too, because the bullets, overall cartridge design, and rifle are all top notch.

Thought they had big bull up there?

He had him on the first shot! Everyone can shut the hell up. If your trained to make that type of shot then do it! But you guys dont know this person from adam so dont judge if you dont know the person

Sweet hunt!!

What a nice hunt

If you don’t mind me asking, what barrel length is the rifle and scope brand/power?. Been looking to get a suppressor too

What was the 2nd kill shot distance because thats the official distance...not the 1023 yard shot!

Love when hunters treat elk like a PRS match...maybe try stalking with a lever action 308.. that is hunting. Nice rifle. But 1000 yards too much can go wrong and you won't recover that Animal.

What bullet 175 eldx or 180 eldm or other?

Scope Manufacturer?

All in the name of marketing a new cartridge.

Two shots and definitely a 6x6 🤣

Nice 👍 👍 👍 👍

Awesome video and awesome bull. Oh yea! Nice shot as well. Mescalero Apache

You used the same song that Matt’s off road recovery uses

Great vid! Is that utah？

Amazing shot!! Keep it up

Great hit brother!👍👍

Let’s make that give away a 7PRC ! Come on now haha

What rifle is it ?

6.9 lbs with the suppressor??

Bet that ELD X didn’t do the work it should have. I’ll never shoot them again after a few failures at much closer range than this! Berger has never let me down.

Here’s my deal with Hornady rounds out of my 7mm rem mag, they never drop animals… I’m always having to track blood for another 50-100yards. I decided to switch over to Federal Berger rounds, shot my first buck of the season last weekend (my largest Florida buck ever) , I swear to god it dropped him right in his track at 550 yards. In my opinion, hornady is so worked up with just creating new rounds for no reason and focusing so much on how far their rounds can go….

300prc would have sealed the deal in one shot at 1000 yards.

Short or long action?

How’s the Leica amplus 6?

175gr ELD-X 7PRC, BC is 0.689 according to hornady, and if we assume NM average altitude of 5700 ft, according to hornady ballistic calculator, that bullet at 1023yd is traveling at 2031 fps carrying 1603 lb ft of energy, barely crossing the threshold of min requirement for elk. And if that shot was taken at or *below 4500* ft, the bullet would be travelling at or under 1965fps with 1501 ft-lb of energy, which makes the shot 100% unethical for elk. which is exactly what happened here. the least you can do is grant them a quick and painless death.

So did the first shot kill it?

I am guessing a 7prc at 1023yards is like shooting a 7/08 at 5 or 600. How many times have you heard a 7/08 is not enough for elk.

..........Cool........

What type of energy is left at this range?

Can we see what happened to the bullet?

No point in paying 7mm PRC prices when 7 mag does the same job for much less. Before anybody starts randomly arguing with my point, ballistics, etc, look up the video of the Gunwerks 7 mag stoning a huge bulk at 1200 yards.

Boomyah from downtown.

You need to come to the Bull Elk capital of the world. WMAT or SCAT!

Excellent shot!!

Elk are amazingly tough critters. You people giving crap for him putting two shots into it clearly haven't hunted elk long. You can place a perfect shot in a bull from 100 yards and the thing will go a long ways sometimes. If it's still standing and you have the chance to put another one in him do it.

So, you are now shooting at the fives, 'cus there ain't any sixes? 'Cus ya'll shot out all the sixes. What next? the fours for the fives? and then the does? What's your strategy, exactly? I like 7mm - nice and flat and good. But how do you manage the game? The animals?

what on earth are you sighted in for? 11.5 clicks up and shooting 1023 yards.....

Eldm would be a far better choice at that distance.

What’s the point of the Camo? Lol😂

I've been itching to buy one, but when I can't get ammo, the rifle is useless

There's no way that first bullet had a full pass thru that's what I'm saying

Wow!!! Amazing shot.!!! Congratulations on your hunt. Doing it the FIERCE way.!!!

So you could have shot a closer bull but the pack out was too hard and you just didn’t want to put in the effort. Then you shoot at 1023 yards and you were only a couple feet from a road? But you had to shoot him again? Then you boast about it? Do you consider yourself a hunter or just a shooter?

Muskalera?

I didn’t know we were allowed to hunt native land it’s the same as private

Damn those AZ/NM mature bulls have big bodies. High mountain elk look small compared to these bulls. Wish I could shoot a bull like that from hopping out of the truck 🤑.My 300 RUM could do that.

I wish people that have the luxury of hunting like this would come to my area where we get one buck tag and many years we hunt the whole year without seeing a single buck. In massive woods then when I see people who are able to turn down big ol elk it makes me sad

"There are too many 5x5's so we're gonna clear those out", "all we're seeing 6x6's". When an animal does the lurch up on impact that is a sure sign of a kill shot.

Unethical as fuck. Why do you let an elk suffer like that? Stop shooting animals at that distance! It’s a fucking disgrace!

Shooting an animal past 500 yards seems more like target practice on live game and not really hunting and those that can’t stalk in closer range just don’t have the skills, good shot but 1000 yards just seems really unethical to shoot an animal at when not knowing what might happen down range

Long range shooting at animals isnt new, its just the changing of the times. I can remember that if you stalked within bow range that was the stellar way.. Now if you dont shoot a bull at 700 yds then you didnt do anything worth talking about.. I taught my sons to play the wind and get as close as you can before you shoot.. Most shots in my group are less than 200 yds, anything over that is just rare...

You’ve got to be kidding me- As a lifelong hunter I am embarrassed that you would put this out. You could have gotten closer and made a more reliable, more ethical shot, but you decided to “test your cartridge”? You should be ashamed of yourselves.

You hit him at 1023, you killed on the second. If that’s hammering a bull at 1023 yards, you’re in big trouble.

Great shot, but that is not hunting. That is shooting. Hunting is to get close before shooting it.

There are a lot of trash talkers on here, first off, he knows the rifle and he was confident in his shot, most talking like they wouldn’t take that shot, that’s absolutely right because most ppl can’t shoot that far, they don’t have a place to practice that type of distance, most go to a 100 range and might shoot out to 3-5 hundred yards, so to knock on a guy that take can take that type of long range shot and make it hit is great, people just know your limits that’s all, GREAT JOB on a great Bull Elk!!!

If you shoot at any animal at 1000 yards that isn't already wounded you are not an ethical person. Even if you can hit a dime at twice that distance. To much can go wrong and the animals don't deserve to suffer so you can stroke your ego. I have found to many lost animals. There are so many factors you have no control over. I am impressed by those who can hit steel at extreme range (I 'm not to bad myself) but if you have any respect for the animals you hunt stop it!!!

Shooting an elk at 1000 yards to 'field test our products'?? First, there is no need to field test a cartridge on an animal for Pete's sake. You know the ballistics and your bullet choice already, and know how it will perform. Second, is this what hunting is coming to?? Another 1000 yard shot on a beautiful animal resulting in a wounded animal and the host taking it all in stride?? If I am to be honest all these needless long range shots are all about ego and it disgusts me.

That always happens - you want some young tender meat and these old crustys show up.

Any fast twist 7MM MAG. rifle chambered for any 7MM Mag. cartridge could make that shot but, is shooting elk at that range ethical?

They’re all the new rage 🙄… gonna save my money for dozer work and new tractor

Your video just injured alot of animals, you have alot of people watch your videos, now there going to think it's ethical to shoot at elk that far, not bad enough people taking shots at 6-700 yards, what happened to the skills of stalking & getting closer? Just because you can take those shots, don't mean you should 👎🏾

If your a hunter you should be able to sneak up on them! It’s unethical to shoot at something that far away

That was a good shot. For those who complain about the long shot, there is always the fear that something will go wrong, that people are just shooting at animals and not harvesting. I have not seen that. Every time I have seen someone shoot an elk or moose at whatever distance, they go and harvest. I certainly would, regardless of distance. I paid all that money, I am not going to waste meat. It should be noted that these guys did hunt with ethics in mind. They passed up a good shot that would have resulted in a very difficult harvest. I had another person say that we should hunt no farther than 400 yards. He said he had killed at over 1200 yards but never on an animal. Which implies that he was a military sniper. Never mind that most of the snipers I have studied at engagements at less than 600 yards, what is the disconnect in the ethics? It's okay to shoot a human at over 1200 yards but not a game animal? And these guys made the correct shot. If a bunch of incompetents are going to go out and shoot an elk that far, how about some cited cases? I have only seen a bunch of suppositions but not actual evidence. Like LR shooters when you talk about your rifle's precision. They want to see the target sheets or it didn't happen. Target sheets do not lie. Unless a guy is sitting there and poking holes with a pencil. Personally, I am comfortable with 300 yards and the max distance I have ranged where I hunt is 250 yards. But I do like the performance of the 7 PRC.
