Ther are 2 tipes of fox munition 1 for fox and birds, and 2 for big geim that expands sory for bad english.

So I have been trying to convert 300wsm to 6.8 but it’s not working am I missing something

Awesome, I found it on sale and bought 10 boxes of 308!

Any opinions if these Gold dots is what Federal is loading in their Fusion line of ammo? Recovered bullets look almost identical!

So 600 to 800 yards, depending on muzzle velocity being, say 2550 to 2750 fps? For perspective, a .357 Magnum will do between 1400 and 1500 fps from a 158 gr in a 6+ inch revolver. So .357 Magnum energy from an expanding bullet at 600+ yards? Not bad! And you can get Hornady Black with the 168 gr Amax for $1.60-ish a pop, which also isn't bad for match .308 Win, these days. I am in the process of putting an 18 inch Proof and a Dead Air Sandman on a DMR themed AR-10, and I gotta say, this bullet is checking a lot of boxes for a do-all load in this rifle.

Using Partitions for the last 44 yrs, haven't had a reason to change, I never fear a hard quartering shot, a hoop shot or a frontal shot when needed, sometimes that's all you get at a moose or elk, I hunted BC and AB , I didn't know what I'd see for sure, for many years, could have up to all 4 different tags, WT, MD, elk and moose, partitions got it done. Meat loss was something I was willing to sacrifice at times, most of the time, didn't have to.

I’ve seen nothing in the internet but videos of these bullets failing in game on hunts and like this But on the videos cutting edge posts their all work miraculously

I really wanted my rifle to like the terminal ascent’s. First two shots at 100 yards went through the same hole. 3rd shot was 1.5 inches off. Then I got a 5.5 inch group at 300. Berger 168gr hybrid hunter’s got a 1/2” group at 100 and under an inch at 300, though I realize that was likely a bit of a fluke. Still impressive. Thoroughly impressed with the accuracy of the bergers so I at least have my fallback round if I can’t find a good bonded bullet that my rifle shoots well. Appreciate the content!

Your shooting 6.5 creedmoor at 20 feet? No shit it went through the blocks

3:04 play back @ .25 the speed

Not a very good test when you haven’t got any all copper bullets shush as the Barnes TTSX that happens to be probably the best overall hunting bullet ever designed!

After watching m60 tracer you see the drop and energy loss at 500m. It's dramatic.

Hammer Bullets would like your style of testing. I bet if you had time to do testing, they'd may work with you But who knows..... thay have quite a team already Great video

Very much agree with what you're saying. I like how the 208 ELDM run in the 308 as well. Not so fast, but it keeps its speed and does a great job. Rogee Hunting out of New Zealand runs the 208 ELDM in a Tikka 300 wsm with fantastic success on even smaller game at distance.

Great video!

Only a dumbass shoots at a animal at 700yds

Those velocities are wild...with how different the two Barnes are! I don't load 6.5 but ~300 fps less velocity...? wow! May I ask you what powder it was and charge?

you sir are doing the lords work!

I saw online some hunters in New Zealand wee annealing the tips of match bullets to get better fragmentation at distance

Die goed skiet kak, hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie

All of them do well at ethical hunting distances. 6.5 is best for long-range target shooting. Thanks for sharing.

plywood plugs

You mind sharing your load data for this bullet in .308? Thx

Very encouraging to hear. Was interested in something like this for my son and was concerned the short barrel would be crazy loud. If that's all the velocity you've lost though I'm assuming that at ~20 inches there's no perceivable difference than a long barrel? Plenty of compact 243 youth guns out there but after being next to them at the range, no thank you. Very excited to get a 6.8 going and working up some mild loads for him :)

Bub the first bullet camw out the top and bounced right back at you. It traveled bput 2 or 3 yards an flopped on the ground. Can't see how you missed it

I bought some of these in 284 diameter for the 280 ai I have built I shot it the other day with hornady sst 154 and it was already starting to group the weight of accubond LR was 150 grain and I was getting velocities of around 2932 fps with the 154 sst

I picked up the trim die you recommended. Thank you! Lapua is now making 300 WSM brass so I plan to re-work some down. ADG will be releasing 6.8 Western brass too

great video. Which would you recommend on black bear within 120 yds?

What do you plan on shooting with A-Tips besides steel?

Nosler Partition

How was accuracy with this bullet?

So after you fire this brass and want to reload it, you should just use an unmodified shell holder and 6.8 western die and shouldn't need to bump the shoulder back again using the modified shell holder, does that sound right?

100%

The eldm is more accurate out of my rifle. The sst seem to do a little more damage but I’m going to try the eldm this season

1540 is too low and 3300 way too much, you should test them at normal velocities for these bullets like 2400-3000

Hit a bone with those bullets and youll see why the accubond is almost 2.5x the price.

If a moose don't drop immediatly, it won't go far. Great video. Thank you.

Really cool to see what they did at ultra low velocity. Thanks for sharing

50BMG HE. Works against anything anywhere

Almost no neck! Wtf!? And 19 inches of depth? Shannon has these right now, Winchester ranger 556 64 grain.

Can you lay out all the bullets you are able to recover so we can see them side by side. Most curious about the low velocity results .

What about 220gr with a reduced load to bring them down to near subs?

I’ve read online that the 150 and 165 ttsx were designed for the 300 magnums at 2000fps and the 168 and 180 ttsx open at lower velocity at 1600fps. Kind of backwards if you ask me. The 130 ttsx apparently open at 1800 fps. Either way I rarely shoot past 300 yards so all work great in my circumstances. There’s no perfect bullet for every application

Thanks for this information and all the bullet testing you do. What are your top 3 - 6.5 Creedmoor bullets you recommend for elk?

fyi I'm in Belgrade MT and noticed you are in MT too. If you have any referrals for me to get this work done that would be welcome as well. I shoot out at Logan.

Hello. I have a XBLT Max LR 6.8 Western. This is my first hunting rifle. I would like to have my barrel cut down to 20" and have it prepped for a suppressor. I have harvested 2 nice Mule deer bucks with it but definitely struggle with the 26" barrel length when hunting elk and bear in the mountains. I've had a couple gun shops discourage the idea of having the barrel shortened and they have also said that because it is a fluted barrel suppressor threading will not look very clean. Any comments about this plan would be much appreciated as I am very new to rifle hunting and know very little about ballistics and modifications and how they will affect everything other than is seems there is the issue of powder burn in a shorter barrel but that didn't seem to discourage Simple Minded Fella from his project. I don't currently have plans to do any reloading but have heard that I may need to consider it with this rifle due to concerns that ammunition may be tough to come by in coming years. The only ammunition available locally for me are Winchester Ballistic Silvertip Polymer tip 170 grain rounds and Winchester Copper Impact 162 grain rounds. I am happy with my accuracy out to 430 yards (the furthest I can shoot at my local range) but look forward practicing and going further this year. Fellow range attendees will also appreciate a suppressor set up as I get comments about how loud it is all the time. I've also been researching purchasing a new barrel for it, perhaps a lighter weight and shorter barrel but have not been able to find much information about options with this. Thanks for any and all advice for a newbie. I have much appreciated everyones comments on this thread.

I get them to open at 1700fps and above

The Swift Scirocco II is outstanding as well. It is my go to in a 340 Weatherby Magnum. It is extremely tough and accurate bullet.

Thanks for the video. Let me get this straight. You turned to the manufacturers of the products and asked them advice on what would be the best environment to test their products in. They of course gave you the most honest answers to risk their product not shining and losing customers. I guess you are hunting inside the meat processing facility after the bones and hide were taken off the animal, you just shoot the meat (before that you make sure that the meat is thinned to match the 10% ballistic gel). Makes perfect sense LOL

What sizing die do you use?
