5 Best Cartridges for Long Range Shooting

And with the 338 I personally load 250 gr MRX made by Barnes

The 340 Weatherby is also Great, essentially the 338 is my favorite caliber and living in Alaska half of time it’s been always the caliber for the North country

6.5 by 55 used in early Olympics also at one stage held the record biggest pig in Europe but what about the 6.5 by 65 not commonly used but basically a 6.5 Mauser magnum

Wow, that is an impressive all star group. Eric Cortana has the long range receipts.

Our indoor range in may area max at 50 yards , most area is maybe 100-200 yards max , and that’s open field , most hunting in the woods is like 40-80 yards

What's the second from the left, in the cover photo?

I love this!

Let's not forget the old 264 win mag

7mm mag just is hard to argue with. It just works

So for Nils, why not the 223 AI? Less neck trimming and your gun still shoots 223.

Oh man picking 223 for your favorite anything hurts to hear

Lets let the industrial military complex pick our civilian ammo that makes sense 😂

Who-Tee-Who i follow you! At my last moose hunt at my friend’s camp he told me his father shot a moose from the camp to the end of the lake. Dropped it down after the shot. I checked with my range finder: 363 yds! That is long range and he shot it with a 30-06! I use a 7 Rem Mag and i love it for moose!

Who tee who is a big oh boy.
Lol

Did anyone else see how the chart said the 7mm max has almost 3000 foot-pounds of energy and 400 yard's???
Is this true?

. 375 Cheytec

If I had to choose a rifle over my bows it would be the 7mm rem mag. But until then I will continue to hunt like a real man with sticks😂 awesome video guys

The only way 2% of the population has shot (and hit) targets at 1000 yards is if you define population meaning those people who own a bolt action rifle in a caliber other than 243 or 30-06 and have a scope costing more than $500.
I bet there are less than 10,000 people in the US who have shot at 1000 yards.
We gun owners often way over estimate gun knowledge and ownership among the general public.

300 wsm is my fav for long range. Extremely accurate, easy to load for, can see your misses, good barrel life etc.

Weatherby 300 mag all day long!!!

I’m 100% with the big guy. Amongst calibers you talked about, only 7 mag shines. But any of you ever heard about 270 win? Man, it’s phenomenal. Light and lethal.

Wow I'm so tired of hearing about this rich guy those even know about can't get breath have no idea what they are you know that's all you do is talk about all you talk about is calibers and rifles that nobody can afford so I think I'm just going to unsubscribe from new channel thank you for your time

When comes the 7 prc W as a commercial round??? Basically the 284 win done "on time" and not 40 years too early. .. haha

Who tee who!!

Can you go a week without doing a cartridge comparison to get views? Talk more about shot placement

Great video! Nice to see my favorite folks altogether! My choice 6 creed because readily available. For mags, 7mm Remington! Thanks for all the good food for thought!

I have 3 favorites. 1. Encore 15" bull barrel pistol in 7mm-08. 2. 6.8 Western. 3. .300 WinMag.

Excellent to hear 100s of years of experience and perspective plus all the mutual respect of opinions.
A case can be for 22lr as its use as a long range tool to practice or introducing this discipline is invaluable. The nos of high end bolts rigs in the same dollar category of even elite centerfire rigs shows alone it has merrit for a favorite in LR shooting.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I got out so long ago I didn’t even know about the 7prcw. But I have a 6.5 prc now and kinda figured that 7 prc mite really make some progress but facts don’t lie that 30-32” don’t like much more than about the 2900’s. No matter the how you push that 180-190. Sometimes that fast short node doesn’t mean it’ll walk away from that wider second/slower 97-98% node. That 7prcw does seem like a “smooth square consistent” good idea.

Up until eight years ago I was in a 1000 yard club, and the most popular cartridge was the .284 win, it has enough power to easily go the distance and is not a bad barrel burner. I used that in light gun competitions and the weatherby 300 for my heavy gun. In spite of the weatherby having a lot more powder, it did not go through barrels much quicker than the .284 win. I found the 7mm magnums very severe on barrels. I love the high BC projectiles with the 7mms, I have used the 7mm rem mag, but living in a warm climate, during summer, the barrel gets too hot. If I start shooting again I might try a 280 Ackley with the light gun and return to the 300 weatherby as the heavy or the 300 Norma which I have used. The beauty of a .30 mag is that it will handle the high BC bergers of the 215 grain variety. I was getting a similar barrel life with the 30 cal mags as I was getting out of the 7mm win and the 30 cal mags were far more durable than any 7mm mag that I have shot.

Although for a magnum round I love the 300 win mag. That was my dads big game round growing up and I have never lost a deer with one. As I got older in my twenty’s I started reloading so I could shoot my 300 and after going into the reloading rabbit hole I’m not surprised that a 7mm bullet was the top choice. There are many rounds chamber for 7mm and it’s a Reloaders best friend when it comes to bullet selection for gn weight. In the 308 it goes 150,168,170,175,180,190,220 there might be some more but in 7mm they go from the low 100’s all the way up to 220 in 5 gn increments

Can you explain moa with shooting??

338 Lapua miles better for long range hunting and shooting

Interesting my 1958 wby mkv in 270wby mag still shoots sub moa at 500/W pencil barrel 🤷‍♂️ 140accubonds I'd shoot out to 700 on sticks

Smaller targets for shorter range ????

I dont see mark from markandsamafterwork in here. Hmmm

You should do the same topic with hunters, for big game. My first pick is 28 Nosler. Next, perhaps the Weatherby 6.5-300, or 26 Nosler. As a hunter, I do not care at all about barrel burners😅

7x57 mm Ackley Improved

300 winmag.......not really into 'man bun' cartridges

308 all day!

6 guy's 1 gun🤨

223, 7mag and 308 are more accessible when it comes to purchasing the components to reload. Personally that needs to be factored in when picking a long range shooter. I think 500 yards in 308. 7 Mag for 100 to 1000. And I am talking about hunting big game. For plinking 223 is my go to.

Can you lads spread out a bit. Looks like a sausage fest.

The last guy has to be a vet lol

I know someone is full of something to hace a 6.5 Creedmore instead of a 28 Nosler. The Nosler outperforms every thing on this list

Butt hey, whotee went for the 7mm you can actually get ammo for.

You showed the stock but no information as to if it is available for purchase and where.

I like the cartridges you can buy at Walmart and academys

Ohh shit it’s whoteewho

7 mag for the win!!!!!

I'm loving these meet up videos!
