The 50BMG necked down to.22 calibre was called the Eargesplitten Loudenbommer!😂

You have a unique way of presenting good information, not too hype filled, but using verifiable data. I also enjoy listening to your Hunting Stories. I remember reading Ed Zern's Exit Laughing column columns at the back of the magazines. They reminded me that you have to have a bright spot once in a while to lighten the mood which can overwhelm a lot of people. Another "mood lifter" was Patrick McManus. His camping, hunting, fishing and general life guide "docudramas" were a source of much enjoyment on dark winter nights in the Okanogan Country of Washington. His guide for a successful "Hunker" is priceless. We need more hunkering and less bombastic shouting in our society, and you present a good blend of the two.

Man i loved the Super Short Mag cases. I still shoot the 300WSSM and 243WSSM often. Its a shame winchester didn't do better marketing.

Great as always Ron. I got to meet Rick Jamison at a SHOT show years ago when I worked for API treestands. I also got to meet Col.Craig Boddington. I met Melvin Forbes of Ultra Light Arms and many other gun writers. I even got an autograph from Tink.🤣. The torch it seems has been passed to you. You represent the shooting sports well.👍

16 days and a wake up till we leave for South Africa. We are so excited!!!!

The Monarch Hollow Point is an awesome round for the 7.62x39. I get sub MOA out of it.

Great video Ron. Looking forward to seeing some video from your hunt in Namibia. Best wishes for a great weekend ahead.

The question about the necked down .50BMG case reminds me of the 8mm German anti tank round 7.92x94mm

I've been loving your podcast since I came across it shortly after applying for my first tag. That meat buck video you mentioned was very enjoyable to watch, and I'd love to see more hunting story videos like it from you.

Ruger ranch 7.62x39 is a great rifle. You can get lots of trigger time with cheap ammo then move to factory hunting ammo or handloads with very little poa change and tight groups. I found average 1.3 groups with factory hunting loads and .8 or tighter with handloads .

Herters 7.62×39mm soft points from Bass Pro and Cabalas is relatively affordable and shoots good from my little Ruger. I think they are loaded by Winchester by the headstamp and styrofoam in the box. I would avoid anything with a steel jacket soft or hollow point for deer.

Ron, I love watching your videos and learning from you. You have a wealth of knowledge, and present things in a great way. If there was one famous person I would like to hunt with, you would be the one.

Being retired I am down with the 2 podcasts a week. One of my few complaints with RSO has always been that you release 1 KZread video and 1 podcast a week and they are on consecutive days leaving a huge 5 day gap in my ability to enjoy your material. A second podcast will fill this niche nicely. Thanks

Love the podcasts Ron. I have been reading your articles since I was a child and continue to enjoy your podcasts.

Hi Ron,

For the ruger American 7.62x39 question prvi partisan makes that brass case soft point bullets that’s really good ammo I had a single shot in that caliber and prvi shot the best and I took several deer with it

Hi Ron ! Can you do a podcast/ video on the effects of shooting in the rain ! Accuracy and down range velocity ! I’ve never seen that covered . Thanks for the great content

The issue is that Winchester essentially stole Jamison's cartridge designs and did not change them enough to avoid the lawsuit. Remington had independently developed their SAUM cartridges, so they were not involved. Jamison had worked with Winchester and Ruger for the "JRW" (Jamison, Ruger, Winchester) cartridges but had done most of the development himself and thought he had an agreement with them. Apparently Ruger was fine with the original agreement but Winchester decided that they wouldn't sign or pay Jamison. You can see the details with the "Jamison vs Olin Corporation-Winchester Division" details online.
