Weatherby Mark V Hunter - AMMO TEST 

Great video, the first shot is the one that counts when hunting, the barrel is cold, I shoot three shots then let the barrel get cold and shoot another 3 shot group, I can normally get a dime size group at 100 yds reloading with nosler partition bullets and 1and 1/2 to 2 lb smooth trigger pull and proper breathing technique, worst group with any of my rifles at 100 yds was nickel size. I use the same basic rifle rest as you. I used to shoot professional archery tournaments for many years, and that was where I learned breathing technique and a manageable light trigger pull, but I took gunsmith courses and I do all my own trigger and and rifle accurizing work, the rifle rest isn't causing a problem, It's barrel heating up between groups, I'm not a know it all by any means but I have shot thousands of bullets over many years and I love it!!! Definitely a fan of your videos and your enthusiasm, best of luck 👍

I shoot norma 140 , same as what you are shooting. I shoot it out of a tikka . .5 inch group . You can’t shoot 20 or 25 rounds and then expect your last group to be great , your barrel is too hot . You’re basically misleading people on what ammo to use . If this is what you are going to do , please do it correctly. I like you I like your channel. I know you say it’s real life and that’s how you do it , but it’s not a good representation of the ammo . So I would suggest a three shot group, then a barrel cool down , then another three shots. Just a suggestion. Take it or leave it . I mean no disrespect . You have a cool fun channel.🇺🇸👍🏼

This is one of my favorite ones so far, and a non shinny finish. My dad stripped his custom delux 700 back in the early 80s cause it caused him a deer. Sun hitting the stock made a glare as he rose to fire the shot. Said he saw the light run tru the trees as he moved, we stripped it and put a full finish in it. Sorry long comment, just a favorite story of mine. Thanks again WTW. 👍🇺🇸

Unless you are allowing that barrel to come back down to temp its not a "cold bore shot" I know you know this but when the metal heats up it changes the harmonics and it will whip and toss shots. Kinda hard to compare ammo unless you allow the barrel to cool to same temp before every ammo change

Interesting outcome. I saw the first video and was impressed. I shot 28 rounds off the bench in my 300RUM last weekend and 30 rounds of 210g ABLR out of my 300WM Sendero. Got a small bruise as I had only shot 14 rounds the previous weekend due to the weather. Keep these videos coming, I love them.

Great video WTW! Every video is literally better than the last....... and I’ve been a fan for awhile. Best bing bang channel out there!!!! You and your family have a great weekend ✌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for keeping it honest. I don’t know how much you’ve shot the new Weatherby, but I do know mine didn’t really tighten up until I had over 60 rounds threw it. Thanks again, God Bless

Thanks Adam Another Awesome video Mate. Steve .

Nice work as usual! Love the ammo test vids! I would like to see how each of those compare in ballistic gel!

I literally just bought a 6.5 CM barrel today for my TC encore. What a perfect time for this video for me. Thanks WTW! Looks like I’m gonna try some Norma to start with

Interesting results..thanks for a great video 🍺

Love the color and the thread cap👍

That evolution strike was awesome! Man, surprised me too.

Thanks for the video. Good info.

Great video. I know, sometimes it's the complete opposite of what you expect. That's why its important to test every option you can. If affordable.

Enjoyed the video As always Used to help Site in rifles at a friend's gun shop years ago before deer season for folks Some rifles dislike a certain bullet or at a certain s speed just have to keep trying to find that sweet spot

I’m glad you made this video, I’m going to order this rifle in 280 Ackley. This gave me a good up close view of the rifle.

Can’t wait to try the 93s in my vanguard. Hoping for similar results!

Very nice setup.

I don't buy a gun without you doing a review on it thank you!

Cool stuff! 😀

Sweet shots

I’ve never seen that full boar stuff. I do have some Hornady Outfitter with the GMX bullets, and my .270 loves that stuff. I think they’re a solid copper bullet for those California fruits who can’t play with lead! The Hornady American Whitetail (129 grain Interlock SP) is real similar to the Norma Whitetail, and does real well in all my rifles. Most of the hunting ammo I reload uses the Hornady Interlock SP bullets.

Another classic. THANKS WHO TEE WHO

Brother the 6.5 Creedmoor is the Gaycowboy cartridge down here in Australia . 😄Nice Weatherby. Love the bolt.What blows my mind is you are using quality ammo and the groups to me are average. That little 7.62x39 in Ruger American using steel case ammo drills em hole in hole..... love your reviews. Good content, very entertaining and useful information. Merry Christmas 🎄 and a happy new year 🇦🇺👍🎄God bless Big Trev

Thanks for the info my friend

Now we see which has the best grouping. Now we need to see which boolot expands and which ammo just passes right on thru! The 6.5 CR is traveling pretty fast so which one expands the best.

Beautiful Rifle 👍.

Took my deer this year with the American whitetail 129 creedmoor ammo. Worked great on a whitetail.

Who would have thought! Cool little round, that 93gr

Another sharp lookin rig! Would love to hear more of your opinions on the feel, and rigidity of that stock. Seemed to lean towards the 129grn and below, but I’m guessing the holy grail for this gun might not be in the batch you had this time. 👍🏼

With my Weatherby 300mag, first 3 shots are dead nuts on center sighted in at 100yds. As the barrel heats up, the groups gradually get worse and worse. Using 165g Nosler ballistic tip. Actual hunting, I've never shot more than 2rds at one time. Also, Weatherby recommends a 20 shot break-in. 3 shots, clean barrel, 3 shots, clean barrel, etc...

That bolts pretty cool!

Another good one

Hey love the videos

Love the rifle!

That evo strike is quite nice thought about getting some for my 308

WOW 😯 WTW I’d definitely give the Norma 93gr. ammo a try in the deer 🦌 woods this year.

Can’t wait for the same test with the new sako!

Loving that Weatherby, just surprised at the Norma WT

That rifle is really pretty. I really like the twisted bolt.

The evostrike is awesome. It was the most accurate for me too and dropped everything I have shot with it to date.

I saw an older video you did about a Remington 770 in 7mm Rem Mag you bought for $199. You were hitting steel out to 1000 yards! That is amazing. With hand loads you could win a lot of bench rest matches with that gun in factory rifle. As for this video you should test each ammo brand under the same conditions! Cold clean barrel. You have no valid data starting with a cold barrel and ending with a very hot barrel. Most likely the results would be very different if all brands were tested under the same conditions!

Good show -who tee who ...hello from-rep of Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤

Good stuff.

I use the Hornandy 129 grn. interlock. Great round for deer.

Great video and very helpful I live in the u k we can’t use lead on deer got to use copper I use a blaser r8 in 6.5 creedmoor it shot 3 shot in same hole tried copper could not get a good enough group to use on deer with 4 different types

🔥🔥

Great video Adam!! That's one sweet rifle!! If you're wanting to give away any of the brass you have, I'd like to have it. I load... A LOT!! I'll be heading back to WV again the New Years weekend. I'll be coming in on I-40 to Nashville, then taking I-65 N into KY to WV. If you'd be willing to part with it maybe we could meet up somewhere along the way. I'll be coming back the following weekend Keep those great videos coming!!

💥💥💥

The American Whitetail has done great for me

thats a super thin barrel heats up fast. looks like the norma whitetail was showing that it was stringing because of heat.

Not sure what Adams answer would be but imo to answer your question about why people use paper plates is because when I was growing up it was one of easiest things to grab and use at the rifle range and back in the day most folks would say if you can hit a paper plate at 100 you can kill a deer! Plus too white against a black hole is fairly easy to see with the naked eye!

Great video, where did you get the rail for your scope, I am looking for one?

I want you to do that same exact test with a good bipod and good bag and I guarantee it will be different and different impact placement as I’ve said before the lead sled is bad for business

Premier will be at 4am south African time. At least I'll be waking up to a great video 😁

Awesome its 9.17 pm here good night

I was going buy the 6.5 credmore in a savage axis it was a beautiful light weight rifle at Walmart Oregon 2 week waiting list at the time virus had things slowed down to a stop. SPORTSMAN WAREHOUSE had a compact Ruger America 7mm08 20 minute weight .I like Ruger rifles

Have you tried cleaning your barrels with bore paste, like JB bore or Lasslo? If you try one of these bore pastes, you will see all the bore fouling in your patches and much tighter groups. I run the bore paste after about twenty to fifty rounds. It is amazing how this bore paste tightens up groups.

Norma whitetail leaves one heck of a hole in a deer. Shot one this year with it..

You sound full of cold dude, hope you get better soon. Generally I’ve not had acceptable results with US made ammo sorry to say, best results seem to come from Sako in my experience. But obvs it’s horses for courses depending on the individual rifle and ammo combo. 👍🏻

I’m really surprised you found any of the Norma 6.5 CM ammo. I checked with Norma a couple months ago and asked when they were going to restock and they couldn’t, or wouldn’t, confirm that they were even going to run that caliber, in any version, any time soon. It’s going to be a while before we see 6.5 CM ammo available from Norma again, if at all. That’s too bad too because I had really good luck with the 308 and 243 ammo I purchased from them. I was looking forward to trying their 6.5 CM ammo as well. Excellent pricing, shipping times, and accuracy. Don’t get me wrong here. The hunting ammo is not match grade by any means but everything I shot still held sub MOA groupings without the assistance of any shooting rests or sleds. That’s pretty damned good for hunting ammo IMO.

Try the hornady precision hunter one day if you can find any also it would be interesting to see true cold bore shots on all the rounds would take a while but thats how I determine my zero on hunting firearms as thats how the barrel will be in the wooods

Appreciate your videos brother. I have to wonder if your scope is giving you issues, maybe changing it for a a different one might be something you would consider.

My Swede mil. would give 3 inch exit holes with 90 bt at accuracy load . Plenty for w.t. 120 gr was the only keyhole ever

Super nice rifle. Not bad groups. Minute of deer on all them.

I just bought some 96gr Evostrike for my .270, for Varmints. I just put a new Picatinny rail and new scope on my 2000 Savage 111 Hunter .270. Going to fling some bullets tomorrow.

You need to look at that Hornady American Hunter target again, its a lot bigger than a 1” group if you count the bullet hole in the”gr” of 129 gr. I understand the use of the lead sled with the amount of shooting you do but think you’d get better results with bags. Why don’t you wrap your thumb over the comb of the stock? Great videos!

Love a Trigger Tech Trigger. put one in my Colt M4 AR 15

Your right I can use the brass let me know when you are going to send it, happy holidays hope your family has a wonderful Xmas

Cant vouch for the 93 norma but 95 vmax works great on ground squirrels. And those 120 gmx i would use on deer never used there factory loads before

I’d definitely would pick the 93gr bullets

👍👍

Hey I’m they guy that commented about crossbows because my noice sensitivity long story short me not getting a decent sized buck caused me to decide let’s face some fears and we’ll just got my first rifle it’s a savage 111 in 270

I find Hornady Precision Hunter 143gr ELDX in my Ruger American Go Wild in 6.5 Creedmoor Loves it sweet Bing bang I know you love Ruger American’s Can you do a review ammo test on a Go Wild I also have a .22wmr in the Go Wild Love it

If you're hunting and you shoot at a deer that is a cold bore shot if it's not where you are aiming it's not good a tight group after that is useless unless you have a touch and warm the barrel before you shoot that's just my opinion keep the video coming

i like that the scope isnt mounted on double decker mounts lol

Getting barrel to hot open up the group

just got my 6.5 prc , sighting it in and hand loading to find what it likes for lunch

Great content. Who T.

Would love some of your 6.5 creedmoor brass

👍

👍👍👍👍👍👍

I'm between a Weatherby Mark V & a Browning X-Bolt Speed in 7mm-08. Would you recommend it over the Browning?

Hey man love your videos. My ruger American 6.5 creedmoor is definitely my favorite rifle to take to the range. I have some match ammo you could get better use out of hit me up.

Might look into putting a spherical crown in the barrel!

Hey mate, gotta let that barrel cool otherwise it’s not a fair comparison, hunting shots will be taken off a cold bore so accuracy testing should be done that way, most guns will spit ammo around like that if you don’t let the barrel cool

How does that work? The deer allow a pre shot in the dirt before the start of business?

I only have 1 rifle .... Nancy, my AR! It's bad luck to have a rifle without a name hahaha! Only have one cause I can only carry one! 😉

I don't no whether I've asked you before or not , but have you got any How's rifles ? If not are you going to get one ? They are great rifles ...

Now which one will you take hunting 🤔 ??? Good looking rifle . 👍

Hey wtw if you could only pick one of two rifles would you take the 6.5 creedmoor or the 25-06 Remington? just want your opinion

I watched this video twice and enjoyed it. Have you done a water jug test with a 6.5 creedmore yet? I'd like to see what the bullet looks like after being fired into the jugs. I hope you can catch it.

I find my deer run off when I put the first one in the dirt. What's going on? You get one shot, my .308 has dropped a deer first shot every time.

it looks like the winchester rifle shot better than that weatherby. I think you were shooting the fusion ammo in winchester ? and I was thinking of purchasing a weatherby MARK V in 6.5 creedmore

Thise evo strike would be great on coyotes and smaller varmints

love me some Hor-naddy boolots!

I have never had good luck with weatherby rifles with any ammo including reloads. 240 wby mag. That gmx full boar bullet has performed terrible for me me as well in 30 ar... Just my experiance. I've had some good results with the federal fusion ammo. Pretty sad on such a nice rifle.

I know with my tikka it was so lite in my lead sled it was throwing groups everywhere. I now shoot it with bench and bags and groups improved considerably. How light is that weatherby ?

I have to ask. Did you run out of pennies? BTW: Good video.....
