yeah.... seems like a good guy.... I love listening to him

I have learned a lot from GunBlue490! I thank you sir!

😂👍🏼

thats because he knows what hes talking about from years of experience,unlike most people on the internet will research the topic for 5 mins and then call him out and act like they know whats up and really doesnt know shit.

I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!

Amen. I'll show my age by saying I miss those battling articles between Jack O'Connor and Elmer Kieth. Although granted the articles were several years old before I read them. Jack loved the .270 Winchester and the 7x57mm Mauser (.275 Rigby). I've been shooting a .270 I bought in honor of Jack for over 35 years Elmer loved the big bores. I still shoot and hunt with a .41 Magnum I bought 30 years ago in honor Elmer.

The 30-06 was there in the trenches of WW1 it was there at the top of Iwo Jima it was there on D-Day it’s the reason you’re not speaking German and that’s the truth the American flag still fly’s high because of the 30-06 don’t forget that

@@courageukrainian2208 tell Vietnam actually

@@courageukrainian2208 I know it's way late, but hey lol. This is not a rebuke of or argument against what your saying. I whole heartedly agree with you. But to circle back on your own logic, the reason we aren't speaking German is because of the German Mauser and the boys who were luck enough to encounter one and live to bring home some of the brass.

Ya bit Jack knew how to shoot 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My old man had a 7mm mauser. I'm trying to find one for myself now but proving expensive.

this shit struck so deep, I do this with my Dad now. I am 30 he is about 62. And many times late at night I think about what if my Dad is gone? Did I learn enough? Can I make him proud? God Bless you and your Father

@@jamess6734 Your a good man! Get to know your Dad, not just as you know him as Dad, but more important, get to know him by how he became the man that he is. Ask questions about his early life growing up, what he thinks is most important in life,... you get my drift. You'll find it to be a true blessing once he's passed on.

06 is timeless

Couldn't agree more!!!!!

That’s all you need.

Just wish for the rem-280 and not the Ackley for lots of really good reasons. Trust me.

@@fdegeorge2000 I agree. If you want more velocity with bullet weights at or above 160 a 7MM Rem Mag is the ticket for shots over 350. Otherwise a 280 Rem is an excellent choice.

This video is about 270 Remington nothing else. One can Ackley improve the 270 Remington, if need be, to be a better cartridge but that too isn't what this video is about.

@@garrytalley8009.270 Remington?

@His Masters Voice Yeap, I put'em down all the time with one behind the ear,with 22 call. and similar small caliber firearm's.

@His Masters Voice bullshit had a fawn shot Good she moved went 10 yards shot in the Goods like a 22 hole been mature deer how far it go

@His Masters Voice Yes, absolutely. A .270 can be terribly destructive on light bodied deer sized game. I'd much prefer a .308, a 7x57 or a 7mm-08. But frankly speaking, for lighter-bodied deer, a .223 is perfectly adequate.

@@haroldgodwinson832 Yes Sir, people who really Know ballistics and tumbling effect of the .223 round Know it's sufficient for any game 250lbs or less. Getting Really gamey, ya can soften up the nose of the projectile on a 5.56/.223 rnd and Damn it'll expand within 6 or 8 inches and tumble as well. We've hog hunted with the .223 and it's a devastating wound channel complimented by an exit hole as large as a baseball quite frequently.

@Brian Hamilton Yes Sir, and for good reasons. It would be a lot more injured and suffering large game than it already is. It's Not really the cal. so much as some peps will take sketchy shot's that should've Never been made. Then Y'all have distance's that are truly unheard of over here on the East Coast. You guys will take shots of 300,400 yards and with extreme confidence in your selves as Rifleman and of course your Rifle. I remember when 300win mag. first became widely available and produced by several manufacturer's. I helped track deer (whitetails) for folks who where dumbfounded that this New "30-06 on steroid's" hadn't dropped them in their tracks ! Speed and a harder nose caused a lotta good shots to seem off... but when secession at finding the animal it was seen that the projectiles where exiting the ribs on the opposite side with out fully expanding. I carry a Browning A-bolt, with threaded barrel and a modified ww 300win.mag. when hunting Eastern NC, Sandhills region. Very flat ground and if you got the where with all

That simply means you re a good shot or you have only killed one elk. lol Keep shooting friend.

@@TheNutzandBoltz I know people that have taken dozens of elk with a 270, anyone out hunting should be a good shot despite the caliber they use...

Me too ive wacked a train load of elk with a 270. That's all my family uses

@@johnkizziah108 my wifes grandfather used to take moose with an old savage 110 in .270. apperently it worked well. .270, .308, 30-06, 7mm rem, .300win, all are great, shoot to your surroundings, distance and abilities!!

Thank you. We're doing very well, and Benny couldn't be better. My wife and I recently returned from a pilgrimage where we drove around beautiful Portugal, Spain, and the French Pyrenees, visiting holy sites along the way. I've lately been doing quite a lot of work around the house, which has kept me away, but I'll be back!

The 130 grain strikes like lightning on whitetail! I know what your saying!

2 now

@@kentonquint8688 Make it 3. {;>\

This gentleman probably forgot more firearms information than we "think" we know!👍🇺🇸

The. 270 is the best round for hunting and has been more effective for me than a 7mm Mag.

@@jagrench62 Apples and oranges. I would definitely prefer a 7mm Rem Mag for Kodiak bear. Let's get real. It's a great cartridge to a limit.

Bucky j when you take your 270 against a Grizzly and he shits what’s left of you in the alders we will put the 6.8!caliber is the perfect bore size on your tombstone 🪦!!!! lol 😂

@@patrickgallagher4344 no Grizzlies in my woods but if I had to shoot one I would use my 300WM, 338 WM or 375 Ruger. Don't ask me why I have these calibers. I saw my deal with a 356 Winchester last year. Perfect caliber for my area.

Why?

Different types of cartridges for different applications. .270 has a relatively low B.C. bullet pushed to a relatively high velocity. It performs exceptionally at taking medium game at medium range. The 6.5 uses a high B.C. bullet at medium velocity. It shows it full potential at long range where other cartridges fall below the velocity that it is still carrying.

@@chucksherron use 6.8 spc bullets in a .270 case, more options.

@@oillease1881 why not?

@@chucksherron Wrong! If you do the math on ballistic computers you will see the 6.5 stops exactly the same place a 270 win does on hunting energy. The 6.5 is good on BC, for target use only past 500 yards.

Rich Gaffney we always regret selling some, been there

Saw a vid where a member of the Rothschilde family stated, " If our family didn't want war, there wouldn't be any." Probably speaking of the big ones, but there it is.

So true.

@@grassroot011 what does what one person said about war have to do with anything or this video. There it is probably.

All Wars are Banker’s Wars

@@survivortechharold6575 Actually the opinions of two important figures was presented.

yup

You really should put both rifles up on the wall and not fire them anymore. You are dealing with unknown CUP pressures relevant to the lever action designs of the era, and improper case length could possibly pinch the bullet between the rifling and the case mouth causing deadly results if the single locking lug is worn or fatigued. Not trying to scare you, just the facts.

@Sigkim thanks will do

The US media claims the UK has no no guns. Huum? Liberals must be part of wiki.

harold bryant haha, fake news mate, shooting is alive and well in the UK, we can’t have semi autos over .22 wmr calibre, but their are work arounds such as Mars (VZ58) and lever action (AR platform) You do need to have a reason for use with firearms either belong to a gun club or have permission to shoot on some land or book a hunting trip through a company. This doesn’t apply to shot guns, you just need not to have a criminal record and not have a history of mental illness. Pistols are banned unless it’s black powder , only the criminals have those now 😀😀. Knife crime is the problem here not guns, gangs are always stabbing each other in the cities

Great rifle and great cartridge!

I have one of those as well...shoots flat and fast. I love it!

Dang. I didn't know they made the cdl back then. I thought only adl and bdl

@@abolishguncontrollaws5689 I have a BDL in 270 win. ,made in 1993 and I love it. Easier to unload the magazine , and nothing to lose

You make a very good point about all of the cartridges formed off of the 7x57, which is one of my favorite cartridges. My hunting career seems to have largely slowed down, but I still want to pick up a nice Ruger No. 1 in 7x57. I have one in 270 and one in 223, but a 7mm Mauser would be an enjoyable addition.

Also the 338-06, it and the 35 Whelen are both outstanding cartridges

Jeffry Richardson in deer season our local Wal-Mart has pallets of ammo in the aisle for sale around $9.99 for 30-30, 30-06,and .270. Why in the world would you want a gun of any other calibre when you can't even reload that cheap? Yes, they are come on items to get you into buying really marked up items like scopes or clothes or camping gear, but JeezLouise any of those three calibers will kill just about any critter in the lower 48, and the deer won't know it's not a Hornady boattail hollow point super penetrating explosive armor piercing tracer from a custom Kaiser action with a laminated stock fluted barreled Kragoff marine sniper gun that cost $7.88 per shot.

Thank you and enjoy your Father's Day.

@@GunBlue490 umm no we have ours in September

Thank you. Yes, please watch my "Cartridge Headspace-Understanding Case Designs and Gauges" video (published 10 months ago), where I discuss the datum measurement of rimless cartridges, and the headspace dimensioning of all cartridges, including rimfire, handgun types, and shotshell.

Happy Father's Day and God Bless.

Thank you for your question. I don't believe that I stated that frontal area alone is the factor of stopping power. I have often stated that tissue destruction is the necessary factor. Effectively, greater frontal area does cause greater tissue destruction, but so does velocity, which causes hydraulic trauma. Bullets with greater sectional density cause damage along a deeper wound channel. For instance, a 45 caliber bullet has great frontal area. A .22 bullet has much less frontal area. If the 45 caliber bullet weighs 230 grains as in a 45 Auto with a muzzle velocity of 850 feet per second, and the 22 is a 22 Short rimfire with the same velocity, the 45 clearly causes greater tissue destruction along a linear path, even if they penetrate equally. If the 22 is a 22 centerfire with a velocity of 2,800 feet per second, even with a lower sectional density than the 45 bullet, that 22 diameter bullet will cause vastly greater tissue destruction due to the explosive effects of hydraulics on tissue and fragmentation of bone, even if it doesn't penetrate as deeply, because the destruction is caused by hydraulic trauma that spreads more deeply than the bullet and in a wider circumference. But, if the 45 bullet is a 500 grain bullet fired at 2,100 feet per second from a 458 Winchester Magnum, it combines great sectional density with large frontal area and resulting broad hydraulic trauma, and a very deep wound path due to the energy that drives it forward. But, a 416 Remington with a smaller frontal area and 400 grain bullet that travels 250 feet faster expands more and penetrates as deep or deeper, so it may create equivalent tissue destruction. It's all about the breadth and length of tissue destruction; nothing less and nothing more. Watch my video about sectional density, which explains in greater detail.

The ballistics of the 270 WSM are not materially different than the 270 Winchester in any practical terms. Since it's inception, the cartridge has not been successful enough to keep cartridges in strong production, so the cost stays high and bullet selection is low, compared to the 270 Winchester. Despite it's ammo availability and cost, it's just as useful.

Watch my M-16 series, where I explain that!

M-16 series. Got it. Much obliged.

The one I use most often is the most popular game bullet weight for the .270 Winchester, the 130 grain, which is very flat shooting and deep penetrating. For heavy game such as elk, the 150 or 160 are generally preferred. For close range hunting, loads of slower velocity 150 grain loads will prevent excess meat damage. Thank you for watching. God bless.

I would like to do that once I can find one to use.

A very simple explanation is that you won't have to raise your rear sight ramp as much because the .270 will not drop as much as a .308 at 400yds, the .270 has a much more level flight than many many other calibers. The 30/30 has a very high arch in it's flight, or much more drop if sighted for 100 yards, the rear sight ramp would need a much much higher setting to be on target at 400yds. Read a lot about ballistics and it will seem much clearer. Good luck and enjoy the experience!
