I just dont like monos, had real bad luck with them. Better result with speer btsp, no game run away fron them. But other might have other experience

Was about to buy another brand action but now I'm thinking bat, I had no idea.

👍

Love hunting with solid coppers. GMX from Hornady is my choice but Barnes would be a solid choice.

Does NRL stand for "not real life"? I'm actually not joking

CFE BLK is a a solid, useful 300 Blackout powder for medium-to-heavy bullets, BUT it is so boss as a 7.62x39 powder that my nickname for it is CFE Soviet. Performs equal to Acc 1680 in that cartridge with less pressure and muzzle flash. Meters smooth as silk.

Black Bear. 308 180-gr Norma BondStrike. 0-300-yds.

No way there’s 80k on the gun and it’s still staying together not of 45acp

Check the fire formed brass to the chamber bump measure, the rifling throat bullet jump distance and straightness (blue print), the crown condition, slug the barrel for the accuracy of correct bullet dimensions. Maybe bedding the stock well fix it??

Mine shots like crap. I just developed a load for it. Now I got a .394” 3 round group with it. I used Hornady 168 grain match HPBT, 43.8 gr of BLC2 powder and federal 210 LR primers. I did a ladder test to find out what charge it liked.

Nice!

Ya know, it is very popular but in the field, just not as good as a 270.

My 38 has no kick at all. It’s the smoothest shooting pistol I’ve ever shot.

I like my smaller 38.

I don't understand, group is tight, you say NICE, but you still haven't hit desired target spot. 😮

My brother had a mossberg patriot in 30 06 that was not grouping and it was a total POS . He bought a new optic and tried everything to get it to work....... save your time and buy a savage 110

I own the 308,300 win mag, 338 win mag, and 375 rugger and they are perfect. I got a good 308 early vision all of them are early maybe they hired some bad apple's AKA employees like they one bad apple can ruined the batch

Looks like a fun project on what should have been a budget level rifle, can’t wait to see your expertise poured into it..

Shooting past 200 yards on a game animal using the deer gun 30-06 is ignorant and stupid and going to lose animals. The 30-06 just doesn't muster up the energy for longer shots and on large game from Elk and totally stupid to use in Alaska where your life could depend on an instant kill shot which the 30-06 cannot do on Brown or Grizzly bears and it can't even break down a bear to stop a charge.

More money in that rifle than I have in my Nissan Altima lol. That is a beautiful piece of kit though

Please only make one change at a time and make a video on what that does to the accuracy. My first guess would be the stock. Maybe try an Oryx chassis.

I'm looking at this furniture set right now. It's absolutely beautiful! Cheers!

First, great video as always. I shoot a 6" Colt Anaconda for my .44 mag fix, range only, and always for the borderline masochistic, shock & awe experience that Keith's baby delivers so viscerally. If I want a reduced power load I'll load & shoot .44 Special. That said, my pet load is the Berry's #97080 240 grain plated flat point over the same 23.5 grains of Hodgdon H110/Winchester W296 as you with Federal Gold Match 155 magnum primers, crimped fairly heavily. Amazing accuracy and chrono consistency just over 1400 FPS with muzzle flash and recoil in spades. I love shooting at my indoor public range and hearing the bay go silent after a round or two while everyone else pauses to come see what the heck I'm shooting. I haven't tried Titegroup in .44 mag and have not been overly impressed with it in general as it tends to be messy in a Lee Auto Drum and has not produced stellar accuracy or consistency for me in other caliber loads.

Best funnel review ever!

Barnes 150ttsx in my 30-06 going 3040fps under Big Game powder. My calculator says my 2000fps retained velocity is at 550yds! I'm like guy and would stick to 400 and in though. The expansion at 2000fps is pretty lame if you ask me, so I stop myself at 2200 retained which puts me at 400-425yds. Never even took a shot that far yet where I hunt so it's good enough

Hello, great video, thank you. But where is the final report with figures ?

I like the Barnes TTSX.

Tossed the H110 awhile back, and switched to Lil Gun for 30 carbine, 300 Blk to my long barrel mag rounds. Great powder!

Especially the small expensive rounds. 32 ACP, 380 ACP. Also shoot a lot of 32, 32 long, 32 H&R, and Federal Mag. It would suck not being able to tailor your loads for your needs, and barrel length. Usually load right around 30K psi for my LCR 327 mag in H&R mag brass with a quicker powder, CFE Pistol, 38, or Titegroup to reduce blast, and boost efficiency. Seems to be the sweet spot. Saving a ton on 6 ARC as well.

Copper bullets aren't ethical Many wounded animals as a result

dude do a review on the south African quick annealer that thing is lightyears ahead and sooooooo much faster with a auto feeder

Serious question, I’ve got a 700 CDL in 3006, it had the Jhook so I switched out to a non jhook shroud. It’s the entire firing pin unit, spring. But now I damn near need a hammer to lift the bolt after firing. Any recommendations? Before swapping it was smooth as silk. It’s still the same bolt body and lugs.

Another great post thanks Guy 🐻

Awful host. Dry eye commercials are more entertaining.

I have the same rifle in .308, bought it at Academy sports for $550 in 2021. It came with a crappy Vortex 3x9 scope, which I replaced with a 4x14 Athelon with parallax adjustment. I get right about 1" groups @100yds with most factory ammo e.g. Norma Whitetail, Cor lokt, Deer Season, ect.

I've been thinking of switching to copper. My go too for big game is the Speer Grand slam but they changed it up and its not the same. People around me load the barnes TTSX bullets and love them. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

The problem is not the barrel…..The problem is either in your lock up in your bolt, or the problem is in the stock🤛🇺🇸

The problem is that plastic magazine box has that plastic piece sadwitched between the stock and action at the front of the action screw. Cut it back short enough to allow for proper placement, than glass bed the stock under the action screw. That plactic allows for too much movement. Expantion/Contraction.

Upon the urging of my dad, I used a Barnes X bullet for two deer kills with a 264 Win Mag. The bullet blew through both with a nickel sized exit hole. The deer ran 220 and 340 yards respectively. In Texas brush country, that is unacceptable. Switched back to lead core bullets and have not had a deer take two steps collectively since. It ain’t broke and I don’t plan on fixing it.

Sell it and buy a Savage.

I have used the E-tip in the 300 blackout, I have no issues with the one that was designed for the blackout, good accuracy and expansion out of my Ruger Ranch. I am looking at different options to use in my 7x57 in my Ruger 77. Any recommendations for the 7x57?

I want to know what’s wrong with it, and see it fixed . Then customize it.

Thanks for this, Guy. I so appreciate your expertise and insights. Great job! 🤛🏻🔫🐻🇺🇸

you should do a direct comparison of different lead free bullets. Hornady CX, Sako Power Blade, Barnes ttsx, and the Nosler E -tip. Same caliber and same weight to test expansion. I switched away from lead a few years ago. I don't have much on game experience with them yet but at the range my 308 win loves the barnes ttsx 168 gr and my 6.5 creedmoor likes the 120 gr sako loads. both will do sub moa when i do my part.

Let me guess. Go drop a few grand into a $300-ish gun. Right? RIGHT!

Great video Guy... congrats :)

Brother Guy, another great hunt and video. I took a 350lbs black bear in N Ga. Last year with a solid copper Maker Bullet. I was shooting a 7.62x39 Ruger American with a 125grn load. Bear went 25yrds and dropped...I have used all copper in Africa, New Zealand, and here at home and had nothing but excellent success. I love these visoes where your putting all the research into a real world hunt with results. Great job Brother!

Ive dabbled with various monometal bullets for a few years, they do kill which is expected of any bullet, but they arent really as humane, generally require higher impact velocities to work, and have a shorter max range being less dense. They certainly are a viable option for the folks who insist on using overkill cartridges but don't want too much damage. I'll keep using my heavy for calibre match bullets. They make a cartridge punch above it's weight.

Last bear I took was 150lbs. Perfect size for eating.

Last year, 308 the bullet did not expand at 15 yards.
