I dig the 300wsm but it just barely out paces the good ol 06.

Pissin hot tree oh ate gobbless brother

That software🤮🤮

I can’t find big game anywhere. Probably perfect for that bullet I was getting 2870 with a max charge of cfe 223.

🤷‍♂️ I Love Sako and Tikka Rifles, But Putting a 1 in 11 Twist on a 30-06 Doesn't Fit American Needs (Only European)! Thank God They Don't Do That To My 270's ( a 1 in 10 Twist, Strangely Enough)! 🤯

When Can We See A "Showdown" Between Your 308 and 7mm-08? 🤷‍♂️

Sierra

As I mentioned in your other video that terminal ascent is my go to. The only thing I don’t like is the effect on my wallet 😅

I agree. Tikkas are awesome rifles. Was the first rifle I ever bought 2017 maybe 16. Tikka forest 30-06

Is it compatible for the 300 win mag?

I’m running the terminal ascent in my SFAR and getting MOA out to 500. My rifle likes it. There are good choices out there just gotta figure it out as to what performs and the rifle likes.

I'm not a Hornady fanboy, so I held onto my 6.5x55s while everyone else bought those manbun Creedmoors. Then something changed in me. I got tired of reloading to get real performance out my Swedes. I started looking around and not intending to buy a new caliber and saw this PRC. What the heck is that? Oh no the short magnum craze again....But the more I read about the 6.5 prc the more I realized Hornady had solved all my problems and pretty much everyone else that had or wanted a new 6.5mm. They replicated with factory ammunition and even bested reloading ammunition is calibers like 6.5x284, 6.5 manbun, .264 win mag. And the searched out ammo. Heck ammo is all over online so I started buying ammo first and then figured out what rifle I wanted. I sold my Swedes and bought a Bergara premier approach. With a 24 inch barrel i am getting with factory Hornady 143s 2930, Nosler 142s 2930 and Federal 130s 3100 (100 fps faster than advertised). If you look on for reference Nosler reloading data, these velocities are in the low to mid range as is what you could do if you wanted to. But the point for me was to be able to shoot factory ammo at the velocities I am already getting and not having to reload so I am happy with the result.

Food for thought. Check out Carlos Hathcock's method for zeroing and the one shot kill. Lots to knowledge there. Also, if preparing loads for competition, know the temp of your barrel and how it reacts during a string of fire. As the barrel heats up, does the group open up, or does the point of inpact shift?

🤠 A Good Choice! But, I Wish it Was a 1 in 10 Twist For the 200 grain Swift A-Frame Bullets For Elk Hunting in the Timber! 👍

As cheap too shoot as any full power cartridge too ! 1-11" is perfect for 308win it doesn't really have the capacity to use the bigger bullets... I mean a 210 @ 2475-2500 fps max ? Yeah save the big bullets for the magnums (IMO) However the 130gr TSX will scream outta the 308... And will penetrate as good or better than almost any 165gr lead core bullet. It'd be perfect in 30-06 😉😂😂

I got the ruger M77 MarkII in 30-06 its my go to rifle

That was my first rifle ! I was lucky.

I have a Tikka t3x lite chambered in 7mm-08 and I love it, I think it’s the most well rounded rifle and cartridge I’ve ever shot

They just shoot

My tikka 270win just shoots all the different ammo I put in well. I can't say that for my other rifles

I own one it’s a very nice rifle, I just wish they come with threaded barrels

The the load, but as a reloader I am disappointed that Sierra doesn't offer the .204 in 36 grain bullets, only loaded ammo do they offer in that weight.

Being a 60+ year collector of fine hunting rifles and owning hundreds of rifles over the years I have found for its price range the Tikka is the best rifle in its price range. Sako is my favorite hunting rifle and the Tikka is made at the same factor and you can tell when you shoot it because they shoot more brands of factory ammo accurately then any rifle on the market that I have seen. I reload too and then they are even more accurate some a little ad a 1/4” inch MOA!

Tikka 65 creed more and bad either

I think 270 win . Would be a better choice. then maybe 300wsm

bed your stock

Its a big game cartiridge

Nice review!

if I was looking for my first centerfire rifle, I'd be looking real hard at the Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed SPR in 6.8 Western (and it would be a matter of coming up with the money, not whether I want a dif cartridge)

other ammo makers have said they'd make factory loads for it - one said they're ready right now with tooling & bullets - except they can't get brass

Great to see a well balanced view i chose 6.5 cr over 243 for red deer and im glad i did . I cant understand why the scorn directed at 6.5 is not also on the 243.

I have a Sako A7 in 300WSM with a 24.3” barrel. My original load was 168gr TTSX over 63.5gr H4350. Yielding 3000fps MV. My new load is 175gr LRX over 67gr H100V yielding 3095fps MV. I switched to this new load in order to increase my penetration potential and increase the probability of an exit wound on broadside bull moose at 300-400m. Cheers!

47.2 grains of cfe223 works ok

Bought it yesterday in an axis for Illinois tired of being pounded by the 12ga

🤔 Just Imagine If The 30-06 Had Originally Been "Sammi Specked" For 65,000 psi? 🔥

I got the same gun but i put a bigger grip on it

300 win mag

I've never had any kind of accuracy with reloads or factory ammunition with Superformance in any caliber. I didn't know what it is about that powder, but I'll never use it again.

I get outstanding accuracy with 130 TTSX from my .270 win. .5 to .75 moa all day. Velocity is 3150 from 22" barrel. Using imr 4831 and cci 200 primers

🤔 If You Want to Know How Great a Cartridge Is, Just Look At It's Cartridge Family (Offspring)! What Cartridge Tops the 30-06 in This Way, By Simply Necking the Case Up or Down - For Popularity? 🤷‍♂️

Give me the heavy for calibre eld match for an affordable do-all bullet that performs up close and has superior long range performance to the higher drag/tougher construction of bullets advertised for hunting.

I used the eld-x in my 7mm RM for several years and never recovered anything more than shrapnel from game. I switched to the gmx when they were released and now the cx and have been very pleased with accuracy and terminal performance 👌

All fun n games till its a ruger 1022😂

#1 magnacut, #2 3V, #3 Cruwear, for fixed blades anyway, honorable mention is Fallkniven CoS, and the classic 14c for budget.

You’re not wrong !👍

Even with factory loads, I've only experienced over MOA groups from 2 manufacturers. Norma Whitetail 150gr and Hornady Precision Hunter 150gr are lights out 0.75" or better at 100 yards. Shooting from a Savage Axis II 7mm-08 with 22" barrel.

Any help with the 85 gr 270 wsm? I tried Hunter and it was all over the place.

If you hunt in Africa, 308win is the best, American game are soft so 308win could kill anything out there. Meat damage is my main concern on anything bigger in the Americas. 30 30 is jour best caliber ever developed if you hunt at 60 to 100 yards, beyond that you are shooting at a target not hunting 😂

👍👍✌️
