Great discussion, very thoughtful and logically articulated! Thanks for posting!

For elk: 160 to 180 Partitions or Accubonds. For mulies: 130 to 160 Partitions, Accubonds or Interlocks; the latter in non magnums. For pronghorns: 115 to 140 Partitions, Accubonds, Interlocks, or Speer boat tails. My 25-06 loves 120 Speer boat tails, a cup and core bullet, which is fine for these easy to kill critters. As always, great video and keep ‘em coming.

Out of curiosity what do you run for 225 loads? Handloads or factory? Been working on a few 35 whelens with 225’s and 250’s and like to compare what others are running for bigger game hunting.

The nosler partition is exactly what the doctor ordered for north American game over 400 pounds. For anything smaller I prefer the Sierra pro Hunter bullets.

European hunter here. I use monolithics for everything. I hunt red fox, roe deer, wild boar and red deer. Mostly because I don't like the idea of feeding my kids lead particals.

Thanks for sharing this information. Looking forward to more videos. I use Nosler 30 cal 200 grain accubonds and partitions for elk.

Can you do a full length episode about timber hunting at close for whitetail. what bullet and rifles ECT .

I’m huge fan of your podcast and now KZread channel. As a new hunter, I am thankful to gain knowledge from your experiences. Did I make a mistake picking 180grain CX for my 30-06 for Mule Deer/Elk? They shoot very accurately in my Tikka and were on sale. Will these expand reliably up to 300 yards where I will be very close to 2000fps?Thanks from British Columbia

I am glad you mentioned the Scirroco II. Swift doesn't seem to have any marketing budget and poor distribution. How does it compare to the AccuBond? I found a box of 150g bullets for my 280AI.

Both are great bullets, but the Scirocco 2 has a thicker jacket, making it slightly tougher. It should be great in your 280!

Between the intro comments and the meat of the presentation: "Let's define the problem." ==> Thank you! So many - dare I say, "almost all" - videos, podcasts & articles purporting to ID "best" or "better" do so without giving any criteria (i..e, best at what?), in many cases not even providing enough detail for an inference. Simple example: The 5 Best Cars on the Market Today. Best for a 2-week family road trip? Best for an urban commute? Best for illicit Saturday night drag racing? Those would be completely different lists. I saw a video recently wherein the youtuber claimed that 6.5 Creedmoor is superior to the 270 Win, "no contest." Despite a lot of highly selective data to backup the claim, the person didn't in any way state what the 6.5 is better at (deep woods hunting, long range pronghorn hunting, some sort of target competition, ...). I commented on the video with some examples with commonly available ammo and conditions that might warrant picking the 270 Win over the 6.5 CM and asked the youtuber to clarify the criteria he used for establishing his preference, i.e., for what purpose(s) and under what condition(s) is the 6.5 CM "best" ... His reply was that it's his opinion that 6.5 CM is best, so he doesn't need to state why or in what situations. It's just "best." All that to say "thanks" for not being like that guy. An opinion is often fairly useless without any context. As always, you gave the context - the what & why - very clearly so even I can understand. ✓ᐩ

Love that these are getting put up on youtube, but the different in audio quality between the video and the podcast is pretty jarring. Sounds like the youtube uploads might be using the camera audio?

Talking about double lunging, the bull elk I shot in 2023 had an arrow shaft in one lung. The broadhead had dissolved and the Carbon fiber shaft broke off. It had been a head on shot. This elk was getting along fine and the wound was most likely from the previous season as in 14 months earlier.

Dissolved? Was part of the broadhead still there? Or we talkin like possibly the shaft broke into pieces and the broadhead and end of shaft exited the bull?

This bull had been hit in one lung head on. The arrow penetrated 12” or so into just this lung. When I removed the lungs I noticed the arrow shaft. I looked for the broadhead and found very little. The lung looked like it was functioning. Outward appearance was just like the other lung. The arrow shaft had broken off at the hide and healed over. Nothing was protruding through the hide.

Back in the 1980s Guns and Ammo editor Ross Seyfried claimed the 340 Weatherby would shoot through any animal on earth end to end with the exception of a large Africa elephant shot corner to corner. This was from experience not speculation? He claimed he always carried a few solids just for these circumstances? He used all types of cartridges for different game types but if he had to choose one for everything the 340 would be the one? He was also one of the first users of the Barns copper expanding bullets prototypes before they were sold to the public.

I owned an 8 mm Rem magnum that was just like the 340 Wby mag. That 8 mm Rem mag shooting Barns 165 gr or 185 grain TSX killed everything fast and always a pass through. I sold it to an employee of Leupold that just had to have the 8 mm Rem mag because 3 family members had 8 mm Rem mags

I lived in Alaska from 1989 to fall of 2019 with my only income came from guiding Hunters and fishermen. That is just your own East coast deer hunter's nonsense that the 30-06 is the most used in Alaska. The only ignorant fools to use a 30-06 in Alaska are new commers from the East coast and the knuckle head military people new arrivals who quickly trade in those deer guns for common magnums used in Alaska. Up against a brown bear would get someone killed using a deer gun and even in the well sold book in Alaska about the pioneer days then men who used the 30-06 all said it took a load of bullets to put down bears which is never what you want.

@@WillyK51 But you don't live in Alaska, and you talk allot of East coast white tail deer hunters' nonsense! You talk all this nonsense without every hunting Brown bears or interior Grizzlys or never hunted Yukon Moose the largest in the world. My allowing my hunting clients to bring the wrong rifles mainly deer gun 30-06 was the cause of my near death from a 1500-pound Yukon bull moose a client shot with a weak deer gun 30-06! I was attacked and hit in the face by the horn as I jammed the 9.3x62 Mauser barrel into the moose brisket and fired killing the moose that fell on top of me. Then guiding for another guide who let the client bring his deer gun 30-06 for Brown bear that also became a life and death problem when the client unloaded 18 30-06 bullets into the bear and it got out of site then I had to go find the bear that was laying in 5 foot tall Willow then charged me where I killed the bear at 10 feet from me using the 375 Weatherby magnum. This isn't some game here in Alaska where people lose their life to animals and the weather on a regular basis. Alaska isn't some East coast bean field with harmless deer! Anyone who talks of using a deer gun 30-06 in Alaska is a lunatic moron to stay away from.
