What a treat! My two favorite youtube channels both together! A newbie to gun ownership, my main goal is to preserve our rights to own firearms and to hunt, and to improve the image of responsible gun owners and hunters. Thank you both for sharing a wealth of information and insight!

Look at Jim! Meeting with Gavin, meeting with Ron…I love these types of episodes.

Two of my favorite KZread "gun" channel personalities in one episode! Love it. Thanks guys.

Ron saying "I watched your channel and said 'wow, this guy knows what he's doing'" is quite an honor. I love both these guys and it was nice to see that them get along so well and genuinely like and respect each other.

Ron, I need you and Jim to ABSOLUTELY do more podcast!. I imagined a campfire conversation from watching you guys! You two complement each other!! I watch both of your channels, but when you two get together there something magical about the podcast. Thanks for the wisdom and words!!!

Big fan of both you guys!

Hopefully Jim realizes who he is talking with during this podcast. Ron is a legend. A well respected outdoor writer, hunter, shooter, and a great story teller with an unlimited amount of knowledge, experience, and character. I watch Backfire often but I’m all ears with Ron. Thankful for Ron reaching out to the younger generation with Jim and Who Tee Who.

Who tee who is NEVER going to be a legend, I can't stand his IGNORANCE. you REALLY need to find others to learn from. Much like Hickock 45 "reviews" you learn ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from him. His pitch, "this is a great gun, go buy some ammo from federal and buds gun shop". -- oh, and let's smoke pot.... 100% USELESS. Guys doing presentations, calling it a review, even Ron does that a bit much. (He has to sell NEW crap to keep up with what people want).

2 of my favorite gun/hunting channel guys, talking about hunting and shooting, thanks Ron and Jim, great video.

Talking about Copper Bullets... I got into solid coppers because of 300blk. Shooting subs or supers solid copper expanders have been great. I took 3 deer this year with 125gr Makers Bullets. I have picture of a piece of meat that the bullet passed through. You could see where the 3 prongs cut through it and its around .75 of inch diameter and we lost very little of the meat. I had another deer that I broke the upper leg, took out both lungs, and caught the bottom of the heart, while also taking out the far side leg. This doe went 80+ yards on her chest before she piled up against a tree in heavy brush.

Love both of you. Great mix of opinions and styles both channels are great. Thanks to you both for the time and effort.

Thanks Ben.

I'm not sure why some people dislike Ron's guest so much, maybe he gored someone's sacred ox, but to each his own. Jim seems to give his honest opinion about the things he reviews; I don't get the sense that he's a shill, and he doesn't hold himself out to be an expert. The same goes for Ron, who has tons of real-world hunting experience, but is honest enough to publicly admit when he is wrong or doesn't know something. Thanks Ron, this was a good interview.

Wow you both went above and beyond expectations. You guys work great together. It's pleasant to see the young and the old agree on so many things. I'm in the old category as well Ron so please don't be offended. Thanks guys!

Awesome to have two of my favorite gun guys talking. I love these collaborations.

I watch both of you regularly,and subscribed to both of you. Keep up the great work.

Cool Ron, I enjoy Jim's channel and seeing you all discuss guns and ammo was a pleasure.

Ron and Jim. Great job!!!!

I wasn't sure if I was going to watch this one. Boy, am I glad I did. This is one of the best guncast shows That I have seen. Great 2023 perspectives and I agree with just about all of it. Definite thumbs up.

I enjoy both of your channels and this was a fantastic episode.. on the over pressure signs I have a 30-06 and had flattened primers on a 165 sst Hornaday superformence so definitely check your loads even factory. Keep up the good work!

Love the conversation on copper bullets. I just might have to give them a try.

Im very thankful people take the time to give us vital information, experience, and wisdom. For people like me who've never hunted and know no hunters, i can't express my gratitude enough. I hope I can find an experienced hunter to go hunt and learn from and make a lifetime friend.

Man I’d kill for a 10 minute cup of coffee chat with Ron Spomer !

Let’s gooo!! My two favorite gun tubers !!!

Old Guy here. I have been using a Wilson case/ headspace gauge.( for ever) Before and after case resizing and alteration. It speaks volumes, imo It replicates chamber dimensions. It is a reliable way of sorting cases.

Awesome discussion, I really enjoyed the information, and your stories. It shows what kind of men you both are, when you can talk about your successes, but more importantly, your failures. Because we’ve all been there.

2 of my favorite channels doing a podcast together. This is great

Love it!!!!!,,,,now this was awesome

Great Podcast Ron. Jim make good and interesting videos. Thank you Sir!

My great uncle used a 222 for deer and moose. He swore by it. But i use a 30-06 220 grain. Oh, I'm a big time lefty but have always hunted. 😊

This was a podcast for the ages! Both of you guys are amazing at what you guys do and a wealth of knowledge maybe next have desert dog on either pages.

It is interesting listening to you guys in the USA. I have shot over 2000+ deer roe/muntjac/red/chinese water deer/fallow and some sika. The experience this has given me in terminal effect is out of all proportion it seems to my US brethren. I grew up dreaming of being a hunting guide in the US, running horse back hunts into the depths of your great out doors.

Love both of these guys - so glad to see them talking together!!!!

Good one, I watch you both 👍

THANK YOU Ron and Jim for such high quality work. Work that you both just happen to enjoy, and that comes through the camera lens. I have had the opprtunity through the years to read a lot of fine print in several magazines. I have enjoyed this hobby for more than 50 years. and now with the help of the internet, the wealth of knowledge and support has increased many times over. Thank for all that you do Ron and Jim.

Excellent video content gentlemen. It's educational to listen to other hunters who make careful observations, thanks for sharing them. Having wandered up and down the bore diameter, bullet weight, speed and construction myself, more and more I think that monometal bullets with reasonably high rpm are as close to "it" as I've seen in nearly 50 years of chasing big game. Thanks again and all the best to you both.

My two favorite channels... In one spot!

Great interview

Love both channels. You guys both share so much with us! Love it and appreciate it!!!

I've been wondering when you two were going to do an interview together. Great episode, Jim does an awesome job for sure.

Ron, Jim, thank you both.

This has been one the best, most well rounded episodes yet! I follow both of you, of course Ron for a lot longer, but I always look forward to Jim's!

A truly enjoyable episode. Thank you both for what you bring to the understanding of ballistics and ethical hunting. Y'all represent the best of what KZread has to offer. Again, thank you.

WHAT a great podcast! I subscribe to both Ron Spomer Outdoors and Backfire and to listen to the discussions from two of the best was just fantastic. I learned a few things I was unaware of concerning signs of over pressure so, now have some homework. Great job fellas.

What !!! a realistic at the same time educational conversation!!! A gave thank to both of you guy’s. I feel so happy about every time I watch your videos 👍

I really enjoyed this. Two personalities I follow and get great information from and regularly recommend.

Two of the very best.👍👍👍👍👍

thanks to you both, great video, great information, and I sincerely appreciate the well thought out questions and responses.

Awesome I love these guys

Great video. Thank you.

Ron, great interview. Please interview Randy Selby, THE REAL GUNSMITH. I have learned alot from that guy.

Great interview guy's, you are both 2 of my favorites. On the practice on how you hunt topic. I always practice with the rifle on my hand not resting on the sand bag because I won't have a sand bag in the field but I always have my hand!

More please!

Great job guys!!!

J'écoute beaucoup Jim c'est excellent

I rely on both of your channels for useful shooting information. I have made many of my purchasing decisions based on the money and time you both have spent behind the gun. Thank you.

Wow! My two favorite hunting/gun youtubers together, I enjoyed it very much, thanks!

Excellent show. I enjoyed the discussion on the copper bullets. i have been shooting Accubonds for years, and i am starting to load more copper. This is my first year in Alaska and it will be my first year hunting with copper. Thank you both.

Excellent conversation! I love the perspective Journalist hunter vs Lawyer hunter. I'm a subscriber of both of you and highly respect both of you. Thank you 👍

Bow first for me too. Boy I had to think back but grandpappy hand made me first bow. Just two arrows to start with and permission to harvest as many semi wild Guinea fowl. It took my over two weeks tu bag the first critter but there was no going back, I was 7 almost 50 yrs ago.

Awesome points in this video. Good podcast.

What a WONDERFUL interview! Too bad you two werent around while I was growing up! I coulda save a LOT of money. I enjoy experimenting with new stuff.... the money that I sent down range in the last fifty some years....! Thanks again for a great podcast anf interview!

Both Remington Mod 700 and the newer Winchester Mod 70 are good for putting out left handed models. As well as other manufacturers I'm sure you are aware of, Jim. Great interview and video, fellas.

Great show Men. If I was to add anything it would be if you can try to get involve in any of the shooting sports in competition. Be it a Trap shooting league, some PRC Rifle, ect. Or just just plinking trying to wear out a .22LR barrel. Even if only for a year or two you will learn a lot.

Really enjoyed this

Good one. Good conversation, especially on over-pressure signs.

This was a great combination, I had to watch the whole thing.

Kudos gentlemen !! 🇺🇸 👍 💯

Excellent episode

I love both you're guys channels watch almost every episode! As a Nebraskan though I must say I've only shot one deer inside 50 yards, most are 150-300 yard shots in my area but you could often take them from over a mile if you had the ability. Lots of quarters and sections of farm ground that may have a few shelterbelts of trees on the edges but most have gotten tore out so the pivots for irrigating the crops can make full circles. There are of coarse parts of Nebraska with more trees but also parts with no tree's whatsoever just wide open prairie and Sandhills. Keep up the good work gentlemen looking forward to the next videos!

Hey Ron, listened to the entire episode on your podcast while walking, pretty cool. I subscribe to Jim's channel also, very informative!

U guys should do more vids together maybe even a hunt or two

Hi Ron, I watch and enjoy your shows. I am the head engineer for Berger Bullets and ammunition and a member of the R&D team for Vihtavuori 37:07 37:10 , Lapua and SK. So I understand a lot about what you are talking about, you do a very good job of discussing these technical issues in every day common language. In your discussion about lead poisoning of raptors, there is a simple explanation for the observation that there is a lot of issues for birds but not much on mammals. Birds have a gizzard which grinds the lead into very small particles, a mammal does not. Lead poisoning occurs when the lead is in a small enough particles to pass through the small intestines and get into the blood stream. So mammals pass the lead and birds digest the lead.

Fantastik getting the 2 of you together.Back in the 1980's got my 30-06 and bought ( for Whitetail deer)150 grns Fed, Rem, Win to try for accuracy. 3-4 " what I got. Not good. Back to store and got 165 Grns Fed. Rem, Win and the same 3-4 ". Now what? Reload, and eventualy found/developed the perfect combination, 165 Speer Grand Slam, 3 shots under 1". Deer season, Deer out at about 100 Yds, fast pace but not running. Aim Boiler room, shoot, shoot again pick up the pace a bit But no sign of being hit, Lead the buck about a foot ,shoot. hit reaction. follow, and found dead deer 40 yds out in the snow. Did not miss the 2 first shots, both 1" appart behind last rib, through and no expantion. 3rd went through forward chest and nicked the heart. Also through. To tough a bullet. Can hit the eye of a deer at 100 yds. After that aimed Backbone, behind the ear, between the eyes. If not shure how bullet will perform break shoulder and backbone. Specialy if calliber a bit small for tough game or to big and though for smaller game 👍

Great episode, now you gotta try to get the Vortex guys on, or at least Ryan, you two would get along great I imagine.

Strain gauge shows particular pressures in THAT particular rifle.

Guys, this was great! I hand load for everything I shoot and have gone a bit too far at times. Thankful for strong actions!!! This was the best video on this subject I've ever seen.

Great Episode. The two guys I go to for everything bolt action and hunting

Great Content from good guys

Hello Gentelmen! This was absolutly so fantastic to have you both to view and have your knowledge, opinions and experience. I enjoy and absorb your informations with great pleasure. I watch both of you regularly. I am using your experience to make and shape my new dicisions now to ehance my equipment. Today I am positive that copper is the way to go for me and it is time for me to start reloading. Also it is quite clear that I simply have to have a collection that has alot of tools :) one for each specific mission! :) Yay! Again thank you so much for doing this together and best wishes...

This is awesome, two of my favorite You Tubers!

@@omf2007 haha fair enough😂 maybe not the correct word to use for that. haha but yah just a fan of both and had wondered if they might ever do a collab podcast together talking guns. Certainly not the way or context in which the word ‘fantasy’ is normally used nowadays?! haha but also, I am fantasy/sci fi fan in general, you know like LoTR or Star Wars and all that fun, entertaining type stuff. Hmmm wait i think there’s another application of the word fantasy?🙃🤔

And I have been a fan of both channels for some time, now. One of my favorite Ron Spomer memories is when he was elk hunting with the Mossberg Patriot 7 mm Rem Mag. It is not here or at his site, it is now at a site called Wide Open Spaces and it is privatized. Of course, all of Jim's comparison vids. Including his newest ones, the rifles he would not take on a hunt, for various reasons from inaccuracy to prohibitive weight. Then, again, he has taken so much game with the Sig Cross.

Two of my favorite people in the same broadcast is pretty cool. When the subject of one MOA hunting rifle comes up , I am reminded that every gun that claims to be one MOE is typically just under two am I way for real unless you can do your own loads to bring it in.

Those rifles are also shot indoors locked down in a vice with a controlled trigger pull. With no variables, they probably are sub-moa. Doesn't mean they will be sub moa in the hands of a shooter.

Fun video!
