Best 30 Cal? 300BLK vs 30-30 vs 308 vs 30-06 vs 300wsm vs 300wm 

I’m assuming you used 150gr soft points for all 6 of these cartridges, correct? To obviously make the field as level as possible.......

Good video.....308 is off the hook 🙋😎.

Aa

You Hickok 45 and iraqveteran8888 need to get together for a video

I like the 30-06. But wouldn't 7.62×39 be on your test list there since it is a 30 caliber.

Yeah definitely pretty much well known that Magnums are for reaching out or very large game.

Just poke a hole in their lungs. Kills them quick and clean and with minimal suffering on their part, and minimal tracking on yours

I’ve been hunting with slugs for deer for a while now, but I’m thinking of transitioning to a rifle which I can hunt Moose, Bear and deer. I prefer longer ranges say 400 + yards. What cartridge would you recommend in your honest opinion? Thanks in advance

@@chiya2006 id go with a 300 win mag, but i wouldn't use the same bullets for moose and deer. For the bears and moose and tougher animals id use a 180 grain all copper or bonded bullet. For deer id also use a 180 but just a regular soft point. I find the 150s in a win mag are going too fast and at closer ranges they destroy alot of meat. I like my impact velocity to be under 3000 fps, ideally in the 26 to 2800 range. Too much slower than 2500 and you might not get sufficient expansion. Much more than 2900 or 3000 and the bullets start to come apart and disintegrate

I use a .243 for deer. Very low recoil & good ballistics. Im zeroed for 100 yds but most of my shots are under that.

Same

308...Are we all former military 240 gunners lol

@Bruce Holcomb I probably wouldn't use 30-06 for squirrel or quail hunting :^)

Same or 30-30 but I am buying my first ar 15 in 300 blackout exited to hunt with that

@@bennydahunter7365. It is a highly Versatile round, just make sure you know your subsonic from your supersonic rounds, don't use subsonic ammo for hunting.

Me too!!!🤣🤣🤣

Really disappointed he didn't include .300WWW in this video.

😆😆😆

Really packs a wallop!

@@jajahgadis Need bigger wallawingwangmelons to shoot with that huge boomer, plain old watermelons just won’t cut it. Lol

I love them all!

The rifle I hunt with and have had so much success with while deer hunting is a Marlin 30-30 lever, I do agree it's definitely underrated and underestimated.. Sure you can't get much past 280 yards but for where I hunt I've never had to take a shot farther than that and they've always hit right in the boiler room so I love it.. And it also definitely barks like a big dog for sure lol.

@@imhappyandyou.4003 I Loved my 336A . But the rear sight had to be to short on highest setting it was a perfect 100 yard zero. And would use higher step of 742 woods master 300 - to 400 zero 2 extra steps . But had the 4 power marlin scope and took my thirty cals to Apple seed to teach the kids on not just 22 long rifle . My marlin scoped 30 30 got me into a lot of trouble . Once the kids spent a couple hours with me would keep shooting the german soldiers helmets and punching them full of holes. So I ended up having to replace 25 of them two years in a row. at 25 a peice. so I quit teaching Apple seed. But my marlin 30 30 was all the kids favorite. It had no troubles on the 500 yard range . and would punch both sides of helmet and make them fly 20 yards....

@@alonzahanks1182 It sounds like you're a great teacher to me.. But I also didn't have the expense of replacing those helmets as you did. 😉😂 I just finally got to take my 6yr old nephew to the range for the first time the other day and he honestly and truly did better than I could have ever thought. He actually put ten rounds of .22 mag dead center at 30 yards!. His awareness of range/firearms safety did me proud. He asked my sister last night when he can go next and that just made me smile honestly.

@@imhappyandyou.4003 About 6 is perfect for bb guns to terrorize the neighborhood lol actually you need to keep them under thumb . I actually got a long old savage target rifle to long for little guy so I sawed 8 inches off stock put a nice 3x9 x40 on . Allways do ear plugs and safety glasses cut them loose on paper a t 100 yards teach them the rifleman site in with a whole lot of gun safety. We experimented with my M1 carbine but you need to keep both hands on the rifle Till the get about ten eleven and handle all your bigger rifle and hand guns. my boys started competing with me at ipsca and are very good . Id actually avoid airsoft w kids cause they like shooting each other to much. and it breaks the rule of respecting the guns and getting mad cause they hurt. Their learning capabuility attension span and soldier capabuillity to be strict attension to rule is unparalleled asuring America staying free forever. I loved coaching boxing to lol And the perfection of 6 year olds keeping the basics to perfection is unequalled Amazing creatures 6 year olds It reminds me of the movie 300. Where Leonites ask the layman what their jobs were . then turns and ask the 6 year olds what their jobs are lol I actually like the Winchester selmi automatic 22lr sports models with tube mags . Its how low can you go bottom feeder make their heads stick up.

He was cheating! He rigged the last two watermelons with dynamite, C4, or something! 🤪🤪🤪

@@thomasraahauge5231 filled with tannerite maybe

My Winchester 300WSM kicks like a mule, love my 30-30 & 308

WSM is faster

Bullet construction is the primary contributor to terminal effectiveness. For example. A ballistic tipped projectile will initiate expansion after than a lead tipped bullet. Velocity contributes too and the wsm tends to run lighter bullets when compared to the 300wm which means substantially more velocity.

You couldn’t be more right! 30 caliber is king of the Northeast Kingdom Deer Woods🦌

Haha! Love my WSM!

3006 and 308 are basically the same with the 3006 having a tiny bit more power

@@paulaguilar9147 in a very basic understanding yes you are correct. However if you look at case capacity it becomes glaringly clear. You can load a 30-06 with a 110 grain bullet all the way up to 220 grain. This means you can shoot a prairie dog one day and then a moose the next without changing the rifle. Yes the 308 can do almost everything the 30-06 does but the 30-06 does it better.

@@masterof1 Accept when it comes to a .30 cal main battle rifle, which may be just as much to rifles available in that caliber as cartridge effectiveness.

@@masterof1 You can load 110 to 220 in a 308 just fine. Sure the 30-06 does give you 100-150fps more speed with the same bullet, but is that 5% ish more velocity worth 20% extra powder, more than half an inch extra brass and a long action rifle? If you want more, you could just go with one of the bigger 30cals to begin with...

@@davidh9659 now days its more like 150-200 fps difference. When you start reaching out to longer distances that little bit does matter especially for hunting bigger game when you need heavy bullets. The long action has never been a problem for me unless you are shooting competition and for speed it doesnt matter. Also unlike the magnums i can put five in a magazine intead of three not a huge deal I know, but it actually saved my ass one time with a mountain lion.

Good pick

Same💯💯💯

I agree 30-30 is the best choice for folks that can get within 150 yds of a deer 1.light rifle 2.low recoil 3.holds 7 rounds 4.Drops deer with a lot less damage to the meat.

30-06? just a guess but 300mag was almost as common ,

What caliber bud?

Thanks for watching Lord!

I could not have said it any better. I started with 30-30 and went to 30-06 when I was 18 I’m 45 now. I have drug the 06 all over the United States. Best gun I have ever used.

Well WW2 has always been fascinating to me, so I like the 30-06, even though it's not the best performing, it is still good to go.

🤣🤣🤣👍👍

I did a video like that already with most of these calibers. Will have to do it again. I'll go grab the link

Thanks for watching Johnny!

I hope so!

Appreciate you watching!

💪💪

Devin Shires me too😂

put a muzzle break on that 06 and it will be your go to rifle

Well of course it doesn’t kick as much there isn’t anywhere near as much powder.

.30 cal what is your "all time favorite"?

👍👍

Thanks for watching Thomas! Good luck to you this season! Appreciate you watching bigtime

🤣🤣🤣

Aren't ninjas supposed to be sneaky and stealthy? With all that commotion going on, I'm picking up more of a artillery barrage vibe here 😁😁😁

♪ Ooh ooh ooh-ooh ahh ♫ ♫ wham-bang walla-walla wing-wang ♪

308 is a great starter round. Its also a good advanced shooters round. Pay your dues with it, learn how to dope and you'll have a great starting knowledge to branch out to other, more niche rounds.

Yup original

WHO_TEE_WHO I thought the wood on my old 94 in 32 Win. Special from 1952 was nice but that is incredible.

I have a model 94 32 special was my great grandfathers and have a 94 in 3030

Yeah that rifle is immaculate condition.

I agree. My Dad had an older Win.94 and I got my grandfather's per-'64 94...neither's stocks are anything like the grain on your rifle. Pretty much just straight grain throughout. Sweet, sweet rifles tho. Small, lightweight, and dependable. Old school deer rifle....can't beat 'em!

Yup that’s interesting🇨🇦🤠

I have the 30 30 , the 308 , the 30 06 , and the 300wm I love them all but I have taken more deer with the 30 30 then with all the others . 30 calibers rule

In Ohio we can’t use necked down cartridges on deer so I use a 44 mag if any of you know the difference in recoil from that to say a 308 it’d be great to know I’ve shot 308 in an ar 10 but never a hunting rifle with out the action taking energy

👍👍

Hey Ken! Thanks for watching!

*Edward O. Wilson has joined the chat*

Thanks for watching Payton!

.300 WallaWallaChingWang... (Still laughin)

😆😆😆

Always appreciate you watching Gary!

444 is one i have yet to try out

I agree with you!

I have a good idea now! I could use one of my guns to cut the watermelon so my family can eat! 🇺🇸✝🇺🇸

💪💪

Blackout looked like a dud compared to the others

@@mantis-mike5882 I wouldn't go as far as "dud", since the watermelon could not have survived it's injuries, but yeah, the rest of the bunch had some punch 😁

Ya I was always told 300 blk is just like the 30 30. Not after watching this. Maybe a 35 Remington is but definitely not gonna hunt with my 300blk

300 blackout is a joke

Lot of guys are using thermal scopes for night hunting these days. Since watermelons are so skiddish, you often have your best luck at night, and farmers are only too happy to let you come put a dent in the population.
