Way back in 1974, I had a boss that enjoyed hunting pronghorn with a 38 special. I once witnessed him shoot a buck from quite a distance, 100+ yards. He fired, the buck dropped. I was astonished that he was doing it and even more astonished when the buck dropped. He ordered me to go get the buck. I was fresh out of high school and this was my first job. I didn’t want to get fired. I couldn’t find the buck anywhere once I got there. I found blood and a busted horn, the outer black part.

Not coyotes but hogs. I read a report once from one of the Western states, like Colorado I think, that found with wild hogs that introducing hunters just spread them out. They’d spread far and wide, to new areas with more food etc. They argued that to reduce the population it needed to be done by the state and concentrated to a few areas. I don’t know if it was “real” or just anti-hunting propaganda though.

The only SIGNIFICANT difference between a .223 chamber and a 5.56 chamber is the leade, or freebore. If a 5.56 cartridge chambers in your rifle without ramming the ogive of the bullet against the rifling, it's safe to shoot. I've looked hard and I've never found a case of a .223 rifle being damaged by firing a 5.56 cartridge. The worst I've been able to find was one that was hard to chamber. The shooter decided to eject the round and take a look. The 80 grain bullet was jammed into the rifling and stayed there as the rest of the case was extracted. If it chambers without undue force, a 5.56 is safe to shoot in a .223 rifle. You won't have any problems with bullets 62 grains and under.

The minimum length for shotgun is 18 inches before you get into short barrel shotgun 16 inch barrel length is minimum length for riffle before you get into short barrel riffle. 1000th of a inch under either of those, and the minimum punishment is 10 years in prison, and $100,000 fine per regulated item that you have unless you have a tax stamp.

I have one neighbor and he is hunter his all life, he is about 70 years old and he shoots I would say at least 20 years out of his Zastava m85 Mini Mauser 5.56 NATO ammo. His rifle is chambered in 223 Rem but I think that he don't know the difference even today between the two "calibers". So I don't know, but I would say that old Mauser all steel action is just enough strong and it just can hold all that pressure without any issues. I am not so smart but I tried that rifle few times and it worked very nice... Nice video Ron as allways 👍

Ron, what about the 45-90 and up. I've heard that there is to much room in the case when using smokeless powder, and that when the cartridge is horizontal, the powder isn't right up against the primer and that could cause problems. So some people say to use filler to take up the space, while others say this isn't necessary. What do you know about this and, if you agree that filler is needed, what do you recommend to use? Thanks Ron.

It's amazing that the information hasn't disseminated.

Fortunately the bear was not able to get a grip on anything substantial, had he done so the helicopter would have crashed. Not something to be repeated.

I have never interacted with a bear in the wild but a thought has occurred to me on how to surprise a bear on the attack. What would the bear’s response be to a human wearing a life preserver that could be activated to make you look bigger followed by a simultaneous activation of a colored smoke rescue flare. Both events would be entirely new to the bear. Would the surprise cause the bear to down or divert its attack?

Good advice on the neck shot, Ron. There is a new straight-walled cartridge coming out as we speak.

It surpasses every other 1.8” straight wall cartridges in velocity and energy out to 400 yards. Very good performance on deer 🦌 and bear so far..

I was charged by a mid sized brown bear with a .45 while working salmon on Baranoff. We were on a fish trap that had to be accessed by this bridge. 2 bears approached and we yelled etc. ( which as he said basically always worked), but one of the bears just started jogging towards us and had us pinned on this bridge. What freaked me out was he went from a walk to a jog as soon as he yelled at us My adrenaline was going sky high fast because i had been charged/ approached about 6 times by then and this is the first one that didn’t break off after making noise. Even more unsettling was the fact i had just a .45 (long story how that happened but it involved covid ammo availability and being on a federal site). I seriously did not want to test the ballistics of a .45 on a bear skull. Fortunately we were under a metal awning (for rain) and when i popped off a warning shot it was so loud echoing off this roof it sounded like full artillery and the bear literally fell down putting the breaks on and ran back the other way. While this dude was telling his story about confronting a full grown bear with a 9mm!!! i almost peed myself!

It is not about environment friendly nothing, it's about the establishment dying to be able to outlaw lead bullets by convincing people about benefits of copper (and somehow we survived lead bullets for centuries). If you go copper bullets it won't be long till mandated, and when they do that you can no longer DIY reload. It isn't about the environment it's about denying gun owners self sufficiency. You go down that route of believing that, you will also go along with banning lead bullets. You can't make copper bullets at home.

When the Ruger mini 14s first came out they were stamped .223. I bought 2 w running serial #s. 1 shot 1 moa, the other all over the place. Sent the lousy one back & 2 weeks later it was returned modified w a stainless bull bbl & it put 5 in the same hole. One of the best rifles i ever had. We had 1000s of Water Moccassins in the creek & id spent my days walking that creek killing them & had access to all the farmlands around due to the Rattler & Moccassin problems. Be up all night reloading w a simple lil LEE , one at a time reloading kit. Few years ago read that ALL the Mini 14s from day 1 were chambered 5.56 no matter what was stamped on them. Called Ruger & they verified this. DAMN! I could have bought cases of mil ball rounds dirt cheap back then & saved 1000s of hours of wasted reloading time. Having doubts? Call Ruger & ask them like i did. Have a differnt Mini 14 now, old series 195 w the pencil bbl. Prints .5 @ 100. Good enough for yotes & wolves. Shooting standard mil ball 55 gr FMJ 5.56.

Ron, do you realize how much lead based paint you would have to "eat" to get lead poisoning? Of course not, the amount would make the argument a moot point. Very few things involving change where the environment is concerned are truly for the good of the planet, they are for the good of politically motivated economics. Somebody makes a boatload of money, every time. Ask yourself why the domestic lead mines have been shut down, yet we still import lead from other countries, it just cost more.......same as oil. Sustainable green energy....isn't. EV's are less efficient in a "miles per gallon vs. miles per kilowatt" breakdown. You'll not see that on any MSM outlet. Surprisingly, you can see those analyses on YT. Copper bullets are fine, sometimes better performers, again, follow the money to understand what's real and what's projected as real.

Well I very strongly disagree agree with you about copper projectiles. I am a coyote hunter and I tried copper projectiles both production ammo and reloading my own in 223 for two years. I have not been able to find or reload copper projectile ammo that is consistent. Groups at 100 yards were never moa. There was always one or two flyers out of 5 consistently. When I did use the best groupers the projectiles would go through the coyotes just like a FMJ. The coyote would just run off and slowly die elsewhere. I would try to track them out to 100 yards but never found one that ran off. The only coyotes that I did recover were the ones that I was able to hit two or three times and then they would drop. So after 2 years of trying I went back to lead and the coyotes went back to dropping with one shot of 223 from 30 to 300 yards. Whenever I comment on this subject I always get those keyboard guys that will type that I don’t know what I’m talking about. The way I see it is I will believe what I see and experience over what some unknown person or computer generated response will text me.

I was kinda against copper bullets just because I thought it was an anti hunting type thing. I work in the lead industry, so there’s the job aspect of it too . But I bought some copper bullets by mistake. lol long story there. But when I used them deer season.WOW !!!! 😮 was I surprised. They worked great . Not going to abandon lead just yet lol . But there is something to how the hold up, and preform.
The talking dog bit. Laughed for 10 minutes! THANKS!! 😂
Would hate to be reduced to defending myself in a bear attack with a knife.I live in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia..we only have the black bears...Bear attacks are extremely rare.. Glad we don't have that brown bear here.
It is not about environment friendly nothing, it's about the establishment dying to be able to outlaw lead bullets by convincing people about benefits of copper (and somehow we survived lead bullets for centuries). If you go copper bullets it won't be long till mandated, and when they do that you can no longer DIY reload. It isn't about the environment it's about denying gun owners self sufficiency. You go down that route of believing that, you will also go along with banning lead bullets. You can't make copper bullets at home.
Mr Spomer what is you opinion of the wild hog population or do you think that the same as the coyote population ?
When the Ruger mini 14s first came out they were stamped .223. I bought 2 w running serial #s. 1 shot 1 moa, the other all over the place. Sent the lousy one back & 2 weeks later it was returned modified w a stainless bull bbl & it put 5 in the same hole. One of the best rifles i ever had. We had 1000s of Water Moccassins in the creek & id spent my days walking that creek killing them & had access to all the farmlands around due to the Rattler & Moccassin problems. Be up all night reloading w a simple lil LEE , one at a time reloading kit. Few years ago read that ALL the Mini 14s from day 1 were chambered 5.56 no matter what was stamped on them. Called Ruger & they verified this. DAMN! I could have bought cases of mil ball rounds dirt cheap back then & saved 1000s of hours of wasted reloading time. Having doubts? Call Ruger & ask them like i did. Have a differnt Mini 14 now, old series 195 w the pencil bbl. Prints .5 @ 100. Good enough for yotes & wolves. Shooting standard mil ball 55 gr FMJ 5.56.
Ron, do you realize how much lead based paint you would have to "eat" to get lead poisoning? Of course not, the amount would make the argument a moot point. Very few things involving change where the environment is concerned are truly for the good of the planet, they are for the good of politically motivated economics. Somebody makes a boatload of money, every time. Ask yourself why the domestic lead mines have been shut down, yet we still import lead from other countries, it just cost more.......same as oil. Sustainable green energy....isn't. EV's are less efficient in a "miles per gallon vs. miles per kilowatt" breakdown. You'll not see that on any MSM outlet. Surprisingly, you can see those analyses on YT. Copper bullets are fine, sometimes better performers, again, follow the money to understand what's real and what's projected as real.
Also as far as the coyote issue goes, since I have been hunting coyotes on a cattle ranch for over 7 years now, the ranch owner is very happy because they have not had a calf killed since I started hunting there. Their neighbor has also not experienced any calf’s being killed either.
If Lead Bullets Were A Big Issue We Wouldnt Be Here Talking About.. Sorry With as many been fired over the past 500 years Its BS same for sinkers.
I typed the above before your " Morel High Horse " Thanks very much. I have to say I am not the idiot I can often appear to be. I too wish to do no harm to wildlife n habitat from my outdoor outings.1 reason I to have walked instead of driving ,even using atv.. besides nothing ruins access to private property faster than making a mud hole where there wasn't one. I simply Don't n Never Will Buy into lead bullets being that big an issue. While having no doubt under right circumstances its possible a bird might get a hunk of lead from a gut pile or un recovered game.
Well I very strongly disagree agree with you about copper projectiles. I am a coyote hunter and I tried copper projectiles both production ammo and reloading my own in 223 for two years. I have not been able to find or reload copper projectile ammo that is consistent. Groups at 100 yards were never moa. There was always one or two flyers out of 5 consistently. When I did use the best groupers the projectiles would go through the coyotes just like a FMJ. The coyote would just run off and slowly die elsewhere. I would try to track them out to 100 yards but never found one that ran off. The only coyotes that I did recover were the ones that I was able to hit two or three times and then they would drop. So after 2 years of trying I went back to lead and the coyotes went back to dropping with one shot of 223 from 30 to 300 yards. Whenever I comment on this subject I always get those keyboard guys that will type that I don’t know what I’m talking about. The way I see it is I will believe what I see and experience over what some unknown person or computer generated response will text me.
Elk populations are now being seen in the Blue Ridge Mountains here in the East.
Probably from the "planting" of elk in the 90s in Kentucky
Virginia and neighboring states have been working in reintroducing elk for years. Virginia just finally raffled/auctioned off some tags this or last year.
I've seen a lot of comments arguing the magic of the 223 and the 5.56mm. I'm sure many have successfully hunted whitetails with those calibers, but find it very suspicious when the evidence they provide, includes statements such as "I've killed hundreds of deer with it, and never lost a deer... they always drop in their tracks..." 🙄
Would love to hear that guy's fishing stories 😂
It's a decent varmint and deer round just like the 243. Just keep your shots inside of 300 yards for deer Just like a 243.
I'll never understand the fallacious thought process of people who say "if you don't eat it, you shouldn't hunt it..." why is it okay if I eat it, but if i don't eat it, but I use the hide, skull, antlers, horns, it is wrong? That argument against hunting is asinine.
