@@graysonkovar9473 you dont need to lie about going to scout sniper school just to tell him he's wrong. But yes, Robin, you are wrong. It is a vapor trail.
Watched the video in amazement at the qualify of the longer range shots. From the time one hears the round going off. To impact downrange on the particular animal. Seconds were ticking by. My PB shot was 575 yards sitting shooting at a Whitetail Buck. I was seated and the deer was moving at a decent clip. I knew I had a chance when it came to a fence. It would have to pause momentarily before jumping it. That's when I squeezed off a round. I used my 30-06 Rem semi auto. I used 180 grain PPSP rounds. Hit the Buck in the spine just a touch high above the shoulder But it folded the Buck. I waked up and dispatched the Buck at 20 yards. The shots up to 1350 yds and those at 1000 yds plus. Those were very nice shot placement. Great video 💪🏼
Excellent shooting Bob. My longest is a whitetail at 1102 yds/ 7 mag / 162 gr Amax. Rechamber to the 7x300 win mag and dropped a Kudu at 920 with the Berger 180 Hybrid. I've worn out 4 barrels in this long-range game with an average of 1244 rds per barrel. I shoot Hart or Krieger barrels throated for the 180's to 190's. Just tested some Berger 190's that will group 3 inches at 1210 yds. Hope to break the 1200 yd barrier in Sept. L3 Rifles builds mine which will shoot .07 at 100 yds. Keep up the good work and producing great videos.
Curious what cartridge is being used for the 750+ yard big game shots? Not much out there is flying over 1800 fps at those ranges which is the minimum expansion velocity for most hunting projectiles. What's the wound characteristics at those ranges?
6.5cm is at 1600fps at 600 yards. My pet 7mm mag load is at 1800fps at 800 yards. Go up to the super 300s and 338s you have no problem out to a 1000+. They might be using a wildcat and some of those really push the ballistic edge. A few of the component manufacturers are making bullets for ELR hunting
Shit you can use a 6.5 cm or prc on big game up to 4-600 ish depending on conditions, with a 7 mag 7 saum or 7 prc and all the 300s you smack any big game at 700+ pretty easy, personally I don't prefer any of that but it's doable.
Aaron, Years ago in the Army (SFQC 3-83 / Delta Force OTC-18) I used two custom made, left-handed McMillan bolt guns in 300 WINMAG with 190 grain, Sierra Match Kings, backed with 69.4 grains of IMR-4350 and they would penetrate 1/3 inch mild steel plate at 675 meters or 738 + yards. Being that nothing is really expanding much at that range, your choice of bullet doesn't matter as long as it is a BTSP with absolutely uniform powder charges, case length, OAL etc. For nothing larger than Mule Deer, you can use a .270, 7-08, .280, .308, 30-06, 7MAG with a heavy Speer / Sierra / Nosler/ Hornady BTSP and it will get you out to a kilometer, if you practice a little. For Elk or Bear, I would just use a 220 grain, 30 caliber Sierra Match King, loaded in a Ultra-Mag, 300 WINMAG, 30-.378, etc. and that will kill a Bear at a kilometer. You can buy Bergers if you want but it won't make the bears anymore dead. If you can get hold of any surplus FFV .30 caliber, 127 grain tungsten core, A-P spitzer bullets, load them in .308 Federal cases with 210M primers, 54 grains of 748 powder (start lower) for about 3150 fps, or in 300 WINMAG cases with 215 primers, with 77 grains of IMR-4350 (start lower) for about 3450 fps and at 200 meters it will penetrate anything on legs, walking the earth, and I mean anything. Remember, there is a sequence you must follow for shooting long range, and even more so when hills are involved. Everything I have told you is completely true, an example would be a 7.62 Lake City Match case with a 210M primer, 48.4 grains of WW-760 ball powder (start lower)and a Speer 2052, 180 grain BTSP, loaded at standard OAL of 2.82 inches, this was my duplication load for M118, White-Box 173 Grain 7.62 Match and it was good to a kilometer. Anyway, good luck
My personal best is a whitetail 667 yards with a 6.5cm that I built myself. Live in northern Michigan tho so anything over 300 yards is a long shot. Even in the cherry and apple orchards they usually have rolling hills that prevent long shots
My personal best was a 360 yard shot on a ground hog. That was with my .270 using a deer load. That was 30 years ago, shortly after I had left the Army. I was still sharp. I've never shot a deer over 175 yards. The first buck that I put in the freezer was at 125 yards. That was back in 1986. Shot him twice, both were lung shots. No blood trailing required. That's the way, uh huh, uh huh, I like it! Uh huh, uh huh!
3:23 I know for some reason alot of hunters don't like to take a shot if they stumble across game that's laying down resting. But I quite enjoy these types of shots for the trajectory is different than a standing shot and every hog or elk u have shot that's already lying down seem to expire quicker with these shots.
@@eggbert191 Yeah a majority hit the shoulder or hit the gut, the shot placement on a good number were atrocious and were clearly people shooting outside of their skill range
I know myself and my equipment cant handle handle those distance kills but man it sure seems like you guys have it figured out at distance. Other folks posting on youtube dont seem to deliver the same energy or precision down range leading to questionable ethics. Seems like you got it dialed in
I have one arm and snipe does here in Mississippi at 400 yards with a cheap .308 with 7 power scope and bipod. I can shoot sub 10 inch groups at 500 all day and twice on Sunday. With the right equipment and practice, I say👍.
I agree. My WWII vet great uncle knew right where he wanted to put the bullet. The buck was completely still. But there was a little (4-6 inch) pine tree in the way. He slipped the chambered soft-point round out of his 30-40 Krag as quietly as possible, slipped in a FMJ round, shot through the tree and killed the deer. Fatal shots aren’t always about velocity and expansion.
Almost equally impressive to the shooting is how you guys found some of your prey... in some clips, it took me a while to find them even in zoomed in and highlighted shots
I think it's worth it to take a look at this video and seriously think about taking such long shots (in some cases). Gut check ask if you can do that with unknown range (do you trust your LRF? do you know your precise dope for a given range? are you guessing?). Absolutely not saying don't do it, or that I'm against it. No way. Today's gear is orders of magnitude better in accuracy terms vs. decades ago.
Some of these people don't realize that some of these shots they take at far distances is the closest shot they could get. Try walking around the mountains and see your target across the valley. To get there is a huge undertaking and that doesn't include packing it out. When your on the prairies and see a pronghorn, there is no stalking it, cause there is nothing to hide behind. That's why you meticulously train to take those long shots. These guys re-load their own shells, practice, practice, practice, and when given the opportunity for a shot, you take it, NOW!
No. You can ALWAYS stalk closer, if you can’t then you’re a bad hunter. Practice all you want, but weather, wind will never be the same the day you practiced certain shots. Don’t be fooled by an edited video, I’m 100% the wounded ones didn’t make the final product.
“That’s not hunting” “how unethical” “real hunters stalk” blah blah blah. Great hunting and great video folks. A trained shooter is more reliable at 700 yds than a gibrone with a 30 06 at 150...
Long-range shooting takes unfair advantage of the game animal, effectively eliminates the natural capacity of an animal to use its senses and instincts to detect danger, and demeans the hunter/prey relationship in a way that diminishes the importance and relevance of the animal and the hunt. So yes, it’s widely considered unethical by many. It is not a “Fair Chase” method. And when I see videos and hear stories of hunters shooting animals at massive distances, I question their intentions, of whether they actually want to hunt an animal or simply test their skills.
@@GDBROWN Who doesn't hunt to test their skills whether they be in stalking or in marksmanship? I have seen some complainers criticize hunters for shooting animals "too close" with a rifle because its too easy of a shot. No matter how you slice it, these guys went out and hunted their meat rather than just buy it from the Walmart where it surely grows from a meat tree.
@@GDBROWN I’m sure you stab all your elk with an obsidian knife as to not have an unfair advantage. Recurve bows just extend past ethical hunting range and abuse human innovation. You really don’t get it man.
These all vary. All of these were taken with a MOA rifle chambered in anything between a 28 Nosler, 6.5 PRC, 300 PRC. Check out MOArifles.com and take a look at the different options. Bullets were all Berger bullets in varying weights.
I not only nothing about guns but even less about hunting. Stupid question…Does the hunter just put the crosshair on animal and shoot or does the hunter have to make adjustments for distance, wind, etc? Hats off to these professionals who have obviously spent a lifetime in this very difficult arena. 🙏
There's a lot of things that go into making the long shots. For example I did range work to 1100 yds before hunting Wyoming. Im at almost sea level. It was 6000' there n I gained 2 moa from my zero. That isn't much at 100 yds but it's plenty to shoot almost 18" over a huge antelope at 980 yds. The wind matters, but it moves the shooter more than the actual bullet. Most rifles have a rt twist which causes rotational drift. The earth can move as the bullet flies on north or south shots. It's not much east or west. Point is you have to know all that and account for it. If not you'll miss or worse yet injure the animal. That is unless you're fairly close. Most people consider 300 or closer ethical, but a skilled shooter with good equipment can extend almost as far as the bullet remains supersonic.
@@tommyrussell1415 Mind boggling how many variables must be taken into account prior to pulling the trigger, wow. I cannot imagine how many years of experience it takes to become incredibly accurate in those extremely difficult, long range situations and I must remember the target may be moving, too! Thank you so much for your excellent reply as I have absolutely no experience with guns or hunting but admire those who dedicate to their lives to this extremely difficult livelihood or sport.
@@JS45678thank you. you're very kind to say so. I was in the military n learned about rifles there. The simple truth is if you are an apt learner and find good instruction, it's not terribly difficult to do. I've shot with a lot of different skill levels the best students are by far people with zero experience. If you approach it like you did with no ego or bad habits I'd expect you to easily hit targets at 500 yds in a day or 2 of training. Once you're shooting snuffcan sized groups at 500 it's just math and wind adjustment after that. While modern rifles are much better than those 20 years ago, don't expect a 300$ Walmart redneck combo to behave like something 5000$ for a custom shop. This is all opinion from here, but to me the frequently asked question of ethics is how far can you consistently hit targets in bad conditions vs perfect conditions. Your ethical distance is in there somewhere. I also think you should practice as far as possible as much as possible before trying to harvest an animal. This allows you to be very familiar with the rifle and also you collect data about wind and range corrections.
@@paultanninen1820 then why do you think a rifle delivering a bullet at extreme range, the same weight and same speed as a 44 mag up close, is good for bigger game?
@@fedup3582 Those long range rigs, using the aforementioned 28 Nosler as only one example of many, generally are sending bullets with a much greater Sectional Densities and with much greater terminal performance design features downrange, arriving on target with higher terminal velocities and still dumping even greater ft lbs of energy on game at those "extreme distances" than the average run of the mill 240 gr. JHP launched out of the puny 44 mag carbine could ever hope to achieve even right out of the muzzle, let alone at 100 - 150 yds. BTW, using the bullet weight to equal bullet weight comparison just doesn't work here because of the vastly different bullet diameters with vastly different Sectional Densities.
Folks, you don’t need a $3000 rifle and $2000 scope to make 1000 yard hits on deer or elk etc. what you need is the ammo your rifle shoots best and hundreds of rounds of QUALITY shooting time. I have a cheap? Savage 110 trophy hunter 25/06 with 4x12 Leupold on it. Has killed many coyotes from 600 to 900 yards. Does sub moa at 500 yards. LEARN YOUR WEAPON
Okay, I like the long-range hunting and I love to see the rifles. But come on, at 8:42 someone takes a shot at a WALKING pronghorn from over 1300 yards. That’s a bit much.
I like bow and rifle hunting, but honestly for me at least bow hunting is much easier then trying to hit a very precise point at 1000yds out, my furthest bow was bout 47yds and furthest rifle was at 580yds, I'd say it's just about equal in terms of difficulty personally. But I get what you're saying.
Great video but it needs no music at all. Certainly not this loud ...stuff. You're showing hunting, not a victory. Respect for the animals commends a more reserved approach to sound.
Now accept that for every single on of those hits there were 15 where they missed at best or wounded the animal at worst, just because some douches want to find their limits and do not care about their environment... Its a sad World we live in.
You mean just like the farm animals that get shot between the eyes before they turn into that hamburger you eat everyday? Hypocrite! Get that crying and judgement out of here.
This is the reason I hunt with a bow. This is not hunting. These guys have no idea what it takes to stalk up on an animal in its environment and harvest an animal. This is just shooting ducks in a barrel. These are not hunters.
Guys, this music is exhaustingly loud. Maybe try a little more balance in the sound next time? Also, all the songs had the same chord progression. Add in some variety.
Great shooting guys as life long hunters making shots like that is lot harder than it looks to all the haters make ignorant comments y'all can all go to hell if don't like it or have a problem with it go tell someone that cares your little insults don't bother us or change are mind to do anything different
All we saw here were edited shots. I’m 100% sure the wounded ones didn’t get into this final product. That shot at a walking pronghorn at 1300yds was a fluke, I mean why?
What compilations line this don’t show are all the bullets being walked in, wounded game, lost game. Save the extended range shots for warfare, give the animals a fair chase. They are a dwindling resource for us and future generations. And in our PC/woke culture, this just gives the anti-hunters another thing to use against the hunting community.
@@earl-tf4qc try 'Howard on Eland' on youtube. My last shot was 300 yards on a wounded Eland. First shot was 240 meters, further than I prefer. We were testing a new bullet (165gn solid monometal that turned out to be improperly heat treated and did not expand) in a .30-'06 at approx 2,800ft/sec. I have taken over 100 large game animals in Africa in my 20 safaris there. My average distance is between 75 to 150 meters. My last shot was carefully aimed for the heart to stop the animal. It had absorbed 4 others already of the failure bullets. Videographer did not show shots 2-4 as they seemed cruel to him. ALL shooting was from sticks. This too was not hunting, it was ballistics testing. If I was hunting I would have gotten closer........that is what hunting is.
