I actually think I'll be using ppu pointed soft points this year as well in a ruger ranch rifle in x39. I'm happy with the HP performance on deer but they group between 2 and 3" at 100y, the ppu seems to give me 1.5" at 100y which gives me a little more peace of mind.

Also, thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video.

8 HP L.C.B. is the designation for this load / projectile. The -8 belongs with the rest of the designation, not the caliber.

6.5 Creedmoor is something to consider too. Amazing ballistics, zero it at 100 yds and it's good for hundreds more. Took 2 with my Bergara a couple years ago, both shots hit the strand of hair I was aimed at... Haven't used my AK yet, but got some 5 rd mags and plan to this season. AK accuracy is underrated. People claim it's no good, but if you have the right gun and the right skills it seems like a very capable platform.

You have to adjust the knob

@@urgamecshk it's all sorted zeroed fine

Pretty sure you want it to freely recoil... Same as if you shot it standing

this comment is ridiculous. the rifle is not going to magically bounce away from any round being fired. if you're afraid of that happening, then you should stop shooting high caliber firearms

@@SexyFace You really know nothing of what you are talking about!

Each rifle is different. 8-10 clicks up should get an M1 rifle on paper at 100 yards on average.

Thank you for your very kind comment!

how dare you make me want one of these fugly ass guns btw, showing me all the mechanics and tricking my brain into actually liking it you know what you were doing the m1 is still my fav semi rifle by far, but I dont hate this nearly as much as I used to now ^+^

8m3 is something I have not tested, and at this point may never test. This 8HP load though really impressed me.

If you’ve never shot the rifle before it may not be on paper at 100. This way you zero at 25, move back to 50 or 100 and re-zero, then back to 200 and do a final zero. Longer way to do it, but it’s a sure fire way.

@@john-michaelkusy8554 Understood!...Thanks!

Gr8 B8 M8. I R8 8/8

It rises in relation to the line of the sights.

So if you're out in the front yard with a young son (or daughter) with a soft ball that they are learning to catch, as soon as the ball leaves your hand it's rolling on the grass somewhere? or do you slow pitch it so it actually travels in an inverted bell curve? A rifle does a similar trajectory, the longer the distance to the target the more length of the curve. Most of the bullet drop is at the end of the travel and it doesn't drop in a straight line after leaving the barrel. So yes, the bullet does "rise" when first fired. How much depends on the setting of the sights.

@@kennoneya4671 The BULLET DOESNT RISE. Put that rifle level on the bench. Don't be concerned with aiming and hitting anything. When you pull the trigger the bullet RISES? NOPE! Gravity, what a concept.

@@tomvogt5988 Aiming to hit your target. What a concept. Guess you've never played catch either.

Still won't expand

Yeah but it would cause feeding issues

Take the open end of the round and press it into the flat end of a crayon filling the hole with crayon it acts like a polymer tip

Awesome! I was actually gifted that knife by a cousin for my birthday years ago. It is now my go to for deer, i have a thinner and lighter weight case knife i use for small game though. This one is a little cumbersome for squirrel and the like IMO.

That is a Golden Spike Schrade knife isn't it?

@politicallyinsensitive how are you liking yours? Are you gonna get an adjustable gas plug so you can run commercial ammunition? And do you use grease as lubrication when shooting it?

Right smack in the center of NC. My wife enjoys hers, I wanted her to learn on the AR platform and then keep it consistant as much as possible. Plus I wanted to make sure she saw these rifles in a positive light, to help balance out how they are always portrayed negatively.

@@nchunter8918 That’s awesome, I’m originally from a small town not far from Ft. Bragg. I’ve got a KZfaq channel too. Stop by and check out some of my videos and sub if you like them.

7.62x39 is a great deer cartridge gives you good 120 yards with the barnaul 125 soft point. The 154 soft points from wolf also work great

It took maybe 2 to 3" to really start doing much, but that's pretty normal. After that it was very impressive IMO. This (the video) was the first i had taken with this round, my wife took one more, and then I took another with it. All three times I was very pleased with the performance.

@@eliasaamot573 good to know

I use either baraul 125gr sp, or tula 154gr sp, and get better accuracy and much more reliable results than with the 8m3 I've tried. There also easier to find than the hp's that are known to fragment, the sp rounds have a longer effective range, and are much more reliable in their killing mechanism.

That will be your windage, it has a tensioning screw I believe that you may need to break loose. Your best bet is probably to find a video on actually disassembling the rear sight itself, and in that you should find how to tension or relieve tension from that adjustment knob.

Take it apart clean it and put back together after watching a video or in a manual. It's easy to do

If you tighten up on the screw too much you can lock it in place. You just need to loosen it a little. Make your windage adjustments during sightin and tighten it back up.
