Thousand upon thousands of Elk, deer and bears have died from a .308 years before either of the squirts were ever born. They’re a little late on the scene to have much credibility

So, what you are saying is that your 308 miles elk but a poorly placed second shot didn't blow out the Elk's shoulder...so you want to use a round that does destroy the shoulder? Okay...makes perfect sense...NOT!

11 wasted minutes.

He switched from .308 to 155mm howitzer.

Your numbers for recoil and energy are all over the place.

Not going to watch anymore. The .308 is a great round. Maybe you need to get some more experience.

Sorry you guys suck ass at shooting. 308 drops anything that my barrel has pointed at

I hunt with a 30-06 and recoil has never been a factor especially when I mind and eyes are on the animal. I'm so focused on my environment and my target that I can't remember one time I was l like man that recoil but I remember the hit. Its the same with my 12g duck gun that I shoot 3inchers out of it don't remember or notice the recoil while I'm bonking ducks and geese I stopped trying to look for the golden goose caliber and rifle and just shoot what has worked for 100 years. Only thing I've ever cared about is good optics and glass, Thats something that I always notice... Crappy glass. Also I'm not some ultra tough guy I just use what produces results. I do also hike quite a bit on my hunts and I am mindful of weight what I notice more then weight is equipment shifting and not staying where it needs to be on my pack. But my packs never go above 40lbs, unless its crazy hot and I bring 3 gallons of water cause running out of water scares me more then a heavy pack.

Also….Ya might not to aim at the shoulder on that size of animal !!😂

308 is the best eastern U.S. cartridge imo. We take shots under 250 and most under 100. Plus imo, avoid tipped bullets especially eldx. Excluding Barnes. We like pass thoughts and blood trails. That being said after visiting out west I’d probably hunt with a 280ai 6.8 western or a 7mag. Maybe the 7prc. Terrain, distance and the animal makes the difference are the considerations for caliber choice.

Boy , these new fangled animals are tougher by the year ! Might have to get a bazzuca to bag one anymore! 😆😆😆

lots of words......nothing said. something not adding up at all.

I been hunting with a .308 since 1972. You guys are quitters. Hunting is getting as close as possible. Dont tell me you cant get within 200 yards for a perfect shot on elk or moose when I know kids that use painted sheets on stick frames and get within 20 yards of pronghorns on open prairie. You younger hunters all want bigger, bigger, bigger to make up for lack of skill and patience. Remember....Lewis & Clark killed those same elk with a .50 Hawken muzzleloader. You should be ashamed.

I think the take away was, .308 is not the best option for elk size game. Not shot placement, bullet selection or effectiveness on deer size game.

You can't put a big bullet on a 308

Yep. 308 are for girls

Use a better bullet instead of complaining about the cartridge.

If you can’t bench press 120 pounds you probably shouldn’t have a.308

Never had a problem with the 308 but the deer did check the freezer. 🤔

When skinny said his family went through 2 elk and deer,I know bullshit.

U crazy if u shoot a deer with a 300win mag

what are you doing hunting elk with a 308 anyway?

Cuz you drunk your first Bud Light? Right? XD

I wonder if these chaps realise how false and contradicting their story is? At 12min the guy on the left says he shot an elk at +- 300 / 330 yards and the bullet went through the lungs, and the elk ran away, then shot it again at +-400 yards and the bullet stopped once through the shoulder, but failed to enter the rib cage. So the first bullet did exactly what it was meant to do, but the 2nd one not?????? In my book, the elk was dead after the 1st shot. Some other factor contributed to the 2nd bullet not performing as desired.

I get it in Montana, but it’s a great caliber for most.

No need to to buy a PRC if you already have a 300 win mag or a 7mm Rem Mag.

I wouldn't have believed your bullet stopping against the shoulder story if you didn't have a picture. I'm currently rebarelling a rifle to 338 wby rpm and was really second guessing whether I really need this or not, but this video has made up my mind.

I'm embarrassed for you friend.. you need to hand in your man card...

They used to hunt elephants with 308 successfully ,maybe check you put enough powder in your loads.I doubt you will be able to handle recoil of a win mag

dude's got some milkers

You need to change ammo, not caliber 👍

Bro on the right sounds like the old dog from fox and the hound.

K……

Never considered the .308 to be a good elk round for whitetail under 250 yards its great in my opinion

This guy is using faulty ammunition. What he is saying is not possible, unless there is a production error or storage error. A friend of mine used faulty sako ammunition where everything seemed fine but twice the bullet would just bounce off a boar. Then he realized the ammo is not ok. 2 weeks later sako announced a faulty production. The story you are telling makes no sense. Either the ammunition is faulty or you are not telling the truth. It is physically just not possible.

cuz your gay?

I would probably go with the 300rum lol

I think it all about shot placement

B#*L S**T

So what you're saying is that you were hunting lage game with an intermediate cartridge? There is a reason it's called an intermediate cartridge.

Actually, I have 220 gr ELD-X ammo for 308. Bullet weight ranges from 110-220 grain, one of the few calibers that have a bullet weight limit that is twice its minimum. Also, a 308 doesn't burnout barrels like hyper-velocity cartridges will.

I get really good penetration with black tips

If it was me in this video, I would take it down. lol

Ok it’s not the caliber!! You hit a elk! At 400 yards in the shoulder!! WTH!! I can tell you have only been hunting for 10 years. Past 300yards don’t try it. This is on you!!! I have seen many many elk, moose, deer drop with a effective shot with 300. And dead deal!!! Learn your caliber and your limitations!!

Probably cause you don't know how to shoot or what bullets to use

You are so full of bull crap I hunt in Canada with a 308 and have dropped elk and moose in their tracks at 400 yds you need to go back to the range and learn how to shoot you are full of bull crap my 308 drops them where they stand and that was my grandfather's gun get a bigger shovel guys or better yet get a front end loader

😂😂😂😂😂😂

My speculation of what really happened: Some young guys overreached and tried to hunt elk at 300-400 yard distances. In many cases they missed and hit the soil or trees around. The slowed down ricochet bullets hit the animals. Fix? Limit to 200 yards first, until hit always where you want.

The little antlers in the back is what happens when you don't use a 308 🤣

Your can do way more with a 300 win mag over 308 . You can go as low as a 110gr to 240gr if you wish I have 3 300 win mags I shoot 168gr 3340FPS in one 190gr 3168 in the other and 208gr 2920 in my 3rd . I can say this they are all fanomanal . Way less drop than 308 way more velocity . I reload but even in factory ammo 300 win mag is hard to beat . I chose a 30-06 over a 308 and I have . If you want a short action get a 300 WSM same performance as 300 win mag in a non belted short fat cartridge. Now you. An get 30-06 , 300win , 300WSM in a AR-10 platform . Way better combat rifles that's just my opinion. Good luck and good hunting. God bless you and your family God-bless America 🇺🇸
