A wise man, my pop, always said; if it ain’t broke don’t fix it! Following that advice, I would keep shooting the Speer bullets. Being a Eastern Deer Hunter, my go to powder is IMR 4350 in 6MM and 270 Winchester. I use Hornady lead tipped bullets at ranges of 30 to 150 yards. I place my shots so that my bullets end up passing through the heart lung area or don’t take the shot. Our shooter bucks are generally 140 to 180 pounds dressed weight. Generally such shot deer travel 20 to 50 yards with little meat lose. As always, your content is a learning experience for me. Thanks for sharing what you’ve learned.
I'll take the hot cores all day over interlocks core lokts power points and power shoks I load the 160s in my 7wsm and 150s in my 270wsm have did good for me on deer this year
Ya gotta love Speer bullets! Hot Cor are wayyyy underrated! Ive been getting incredible accuracy from their 140 & 120 Gold dots in my 6.5's (Creed & Grendel) performance on deer has been great & accuracy is topping the Berger bullets. And the plus side is ALL for a fraction of the cost. Win win! Great video sir. Subscribed.
I have always liked the Hot-Cor line from Speer. Their Grand Slam line is still good too despite having been cheapened, I think they are more like the old Mag-Tip line now. All are a good value and worth trying.
My best performing hunting bullets have typically been cheap, house brands. Speer Hot-Cor & Grand Slam, Winchester Power Point & Remington Cor-Lokt. All hold together like the expensive bonded bullets. 🤠
Very interesting. Now save the scapula and leg bones from your next slaughter steer. Put 1/2 inch dry newspaper in front of it and couple feet of wet newspaper behind it. Trace the outline of the bone with a sharpie so you know where to aim. Testing hunting bullets in bone separates the wheat from the chaff. 😊 Thanks! Enjoying catching your older vids.
Thank you, I have been looking for a gel HOTCor test for upcoming hunt season. Thank you sir. I really enjoy your videos. HotCors seem to be the best bang for buck out there. They are even more economical than the hornady interlocks/sst and seem to preform superior.
Thanks for the positive feedback. I have been shooting Hot cor bullets for about 35 years now. they are one of the most underrated bullets out there. Not every hunting outfit needs to be a 1000 yard shooter. I was told the manufacturing process for the hot core is one of the first "bonded " bullets before they called it bonded. I think the hot core bullet in any caliber is an excellent hunting bullet. Without a tip and a boat tail the BC is not as good as some other premium bullets but with in reasonable hunting ranges the bullet will perform great on game. Thanks for watching
Love the 6.5 but mine is a Swede 6.5x55 in a custom FN ‘98 with 24” barrel. I can get 2800 fps with 140 partitions but I usually use 125 partitions for deer. I had Interlocks fragment on me years ago when pushed to 2750-2800 so the Speer looks great. I prefer flat based bullets for hunting and exit holes so the partitions have always been preferred. Perhaps I should try the Speers.
The partitions are great for sure. But the price on the Speer is much better and availability. I think in your swede the Speer 140 would be awesome Thanks for watching
I have heard H1000 is great powder for the 264 but it has been unavailable until just recently. I ran into about 8lbs of RL22 a few years ago and it seems to be working good, I have enough ammo if I use it just for hunting I may not live long enough to use it all ha ha Thanks for watching
I have always liked the Speer bullets. We (myself included) think every rifle has to be a 1000 yard gun. In all reality most hunting situations are under 500. The 264 with a 140 Speer is a great deer and elk setup. I do like the Nosler accubond also but the availability of them has been very unreliable. Were as the Speer bullets are more readily available. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching
.264 Win Mag is a curiosity. Its been said that it just isn't what it was intended to be, and that .270 Win. and 7mm Rem Mag. cover everything it was intended to cover. I will say for sure that .270 Win and 7mm Rem. Mag sure covers a lot and are so popular they put the squeeze on anything in that class.
I am a huge fan of the 264 min mag. Here are the quirks of the 264. It take a 26 barrel to reach full performance. In the 1950's it was know as a "barrel burner" with todays barrel steel that is a myth. Most 264's have a 1 in 9 twist and will not stabilize the ultra long long range bullets. With a premium 140gr hunting bullets going 3000 fps it preforms outstanding in the field. It has less recoil than the 7mm and is flatter shooting than the standard 270. Thanks for watching You might like my other channel 10 cow ranch Horses, cows and such. Thank you in advance
Longer barrels up to 26" can really help .30-06 class too. I really don't get overly excited about speeds beyond 3100 FPS muzzle velocity. That's within the capabilities of 24" .270 Win. shooting 130 grain bullets. Real magnum hot rods are mostly an academic curiosity to me. I also am impressed by the current high performance bullets, but not with the price tags they apply to them these days. I think a lot of people have become so enamored of super premium bullets that they are forgetting that only 30 years ago we were killing deer class game consistently with Speer Hot Cor and comparable bullets as far away as we ethically dared to shoot. That Hot Cor you tested would do the job on deer class game till the cows came home and never disappoint you.
I also shoot a .264 WM and I've purchased Speer Gold Dot 140 gr custom loaded ammunition but because of extreme expansion I've opted for the Speer Impact 140 gr for long range use. Haven't loaded any yet but looking forward to test out thier performance. I've also purchased Norma Oryx 156 grain for 300 yards and in and I'm extremely satisfied with their performance. Looking forward to see real world performance on game.
It’s always good to hear from fellow 264 WinMag shooters i’ve heard the Normas are really good not really available in my area. The spears seem to meet always available. I think that’s gonna be my old reliable standby from now on. Thanks for your great comment. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video! You should combine the best of the two and shoot the gold dots or for a few bucks more, the impact! The impact is also bonded with a polymer tip and a boat tail, but at Speer pricing. I haven’t shot the 140 grain .264s but I do have experience with the 190 gr in .308 and I highly recommend!
Great video. I wonder what the results would be if you shoot both of these bullets through cow hide and a cow femur. The 264 Win Mag was my Dad’s favorite mulie and antelope cartridge. He shot 140 Partitions right at 3000 fps from his pre-64 Model 70 Westerner. It simply worked. My brother has the rifle and uses it every fall on the same species of game. You’ve earned a new subscriber since I really like down to earth videos.
Thanks for the video. I've also used the Spear bullets and the accubond to me they are both bonded, cost wise I use the spear the nosler accubond is getting out of hand on the price, Thanks for your time and efforts. God bless TRUMP 2024 AMEN.
Bro. nice video, I might suggest you try Barnes Tipped Triple Shock bullets also. They have a little bit better Ballistice Coeffecients than the Speers and do well in gel tests. Remington CorLokt bullets are good shot into gel blocks so you might look at those. Greetings from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada: Where the men are men and the women are double breasted !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is one of the best comments I have ever had it made my day I am still laughing !!!! The Barnes bullets are awesome. They are. manufactured just about 60 miles from where I live. In the last few years they have been a unreliable for availability just like everything is. seems like. The corlokt's do have good reputation for performance on game. Thanks for watching Please keep the good comments coming !!!
If they made a BTSP in the 264 140 gr I would be all over it. I think the premium bullet in the 264 is the gold dot. Thanks for the comment and Thanks for watching
If your not shooting past 400 yards the Hot cores are the better choice than the BTSP Speers they seem to not hold together as good as the hotcores for me in my 7wsm shooting into water jugs
I do have some hornady interlock 129 gr loaded up in the 264 win That may be future video Thanks for the input You might like my other channel 10 cow ranch Cows horses and such
Interlock is much softer than Accubond. Hornady Interbond, on the other hand, is a little harder than Accubond. I prefer Interbond to Accubond. Interbond gives finer, larger mushrooms, higher residual weight and is cheaper. I have picked many bullets from wild boar and moose from both Interbond and Accubond. Interbond is the best without a doubt. The ones I have seen there are from 308 win and are 165 grain bullets. The only thing I've heard bad about interbond is that it's difficult to get precision with them. If you charge by hand, there are no problems at all. If you shoot magnum caliber and don't shoot at everything, get long distances well over 300-400 meters on animals, the Swift Scirocco 2 is a very good bullet. I use it myself in both 7 mm Rem Mag in 150 Grain and 180 grain in 300 win mag. I have Interbond from Hornady in 180 grain in my 30-06. My friend switched to Interbond from Accubond in 165 grain in his 308 win when I said interbond is better, holds together better, I had seen that when we butchered after larger drive hunts when many wild boars were shot. I use 270 grain speer Hotcore in my 9.3x62 that I have when I search for wild boar and moose and when I go with my dogs on drive hunts for moose and wild boar. It is rare to find the bullet that goes right through the animals with the 9.3x62 caliber. But I like that bullet in that caliber. Not too soft and not too hard either. It looks very good in the wound channels of all the animals I field with it from deer, fallow deer, wild boar and moose, I have fielded several with that bullet and caliber. It's cheap, I get it to shoot a Moa at 100 meters, it's good for hunting at moderate distances.
@@chrisevansgunshorsesranchi699 I am from Sweden. We hunt a little differently here on a lot of hunts. We release dogs that drive the animals or with standing so-called lead dogs. I am very interested in searching with dogs for injured animals. When I am called to search for injured animals, I always ask bullet, caliber, was the animal still? How did it feel when the shot went off? As well as a few more follow-up questions before I examine the shooting scene. Which bullet and caliber can be a big help. I often stay behind during larger so-called drive hunts when the animals are taken care of etc. There is often a bullet in the animals. There you see the mushrooms and can determine which bullet is good in which caliber and speed. That's what you learn from. Bullets found in animals better than that you don't get it. I was on several hunts with the same people in different hunting teams. Several of them use 308 win and several used Hornady Interbond 165 grain in that caliber. There I saw a difference to those who shot with Nosler Accubond. I recommended it to a friend who does a lot of boar hunting. He had Nosler Accubond in his 308 Remington Police Rifle. He changed the bullet because I said it is better. The bullets he has found have a higher residual weight of Interbond than of Accubond. Interbond is cheaper too and better. Both he and I handload ourselves as well. I myself used interbond in my 338 Win Mag on some wild hogs. But jeez what an effect it was, I didn't have to look for the animals. I had the Nosler Partion in the beginning with that caliber but was disappointed. I'm going to try the Hornady Interbond 154 grain in my 7mm rem mag. I have to run out of my Swift Scirroco 2 bullets first. The bullet Scirocco works very well in 7 mm rem. It delivers over 3000 Joules at a distance of 300 metres. 3000 Joules at 300 meters is a lot. I have shot several wild boars as well as moose and fallow deer with that bullet and caliber and I am very satisfied. Expensive bullet but worth the price for how it works in 7mm rem. I only shoot these you tested in 270 grain in my 9.3x62 I have as a search and dog handler rifle. That bullet works very well in that caliber. I bought a small stock there of just over 400 bullets, so I was satisfied with that bullet. It is bonded with heat, not with welding like many other bullets. I prefer to avoid bullets that are not bonded. I shot a couple of boars with the 30-06 with the Hornady SST bullet in 180 grains. It didn't look pretty at all. Exit hole like a fist almost.
Good video. My son and I shot 2 buck 2 doe missouri whitetails and yote last season with 6.5 creed with speer 140 hot cor . Large doe my son shot 175 yds bullet fragmented bad after going through both shoulders stopped in hide. Got some 140 grand slams coming and have 140 hot cors Going to load both H 4350 . Have you tried grand slams ? Im leaning to 140 hot cors for deer
I have not ever tried the Grand Slams. I have heard good things about them. If the hot cor went through both shoulders I feel better about them after hearing your experience. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching
Sure would have been a great video if gel had been clear enough to show wound cavity disruption. I’m looking to see what projectiles make the biggest exit hole on whitetail deer. And Nosler Accubond in my 300 WSM just didn’t give me the exits I wanted.
You are right about the gel. Time to order some more. Have you tried a standard lead core bullet? Remington core lock or Hornady interlock I think they are a little softer jackets thanks for watching
@@chrisevansgunshorsesranchi699 Yes, Nosler Partition, Hornady Interlock, Cor Lokt too. My favorite you can never find anymore and that’s the Swift A Frame. I ended up with a copper only bullet since everything but Hornady has gotten hard to get and over priced
@@xforce708 what is been your experience with Hornady interlock? I have not tried much of them on anything with the exception of 170 grain 30,30 round nose, which has worked great on the couple that I’ve taken with it.
Ive had similar results with my 9.3x62, any hot cor speers I recovered mushroomed perfectly and was devastating on game. I tried accubonds but could not get good accuracy out of them so for the price its a no brainer
Get you a pair along surgical tongues. It’s easier to push those in the gel to retrieve bullets, then cut the gel to get the bullet. I love the Nosler bullets, They seem to be more accurate in most of my rifles
I haven't seen accubonds priced at 90$ But then again I haven't seen accubonds at all for about 3 or 4 years. That is why I did some testing on the Speers. They are everywhere for less than 30 bucks a hundred. When the accubonds are gone I will stick with the Speers and never look back. Thanks for watching

Have you tried grand slams ? Im leaning to 140 hot cors for deer
I have not ever tried the Grand Slams. I have heard good things about them. If the hot cor went through both shoulders I feel better about them after hearing your experience. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching
Sure would have been a great video if gel had been clear enough to show wound cavity disruption.
I’m looking to see what projectiles make the biggest exit hole on whitetail deer. And Nosler Accubond in my 300 WSM just didn’t give me the exits I wanted.
You are right about the gel. Time to order some more. Have you tried a standard lead core bullet? Remington core lock or Hornady interlock I think they are a little softer jackets thanks for watching
@@chrisevansgunshorsesranchi699
Yes, Nosler Partition, Hornady Interlock, Cor Lokt too. My favorite you can never find anymore and that’s the Swift A Frame. I ended up with a copper only bullet since everything but Hornady has gotten hard to get and over priced
@@xforce708 what is been your experience with Hornady interlock? I have not tried much of them on anything with the exception of 170 grain 30,30 round nose, which has worked great on the couple that I’ve taken with it.
Hot cors are my fav psp bullet
Ive had similar results with my 9.3x62, any hot cor speers I recovered mushroomed perfectly and was devastating on game. I tried accubonds but could not get good accuracy out of them so for the price its a no brainer
Thanks for the.comment I think the Speers are under rated for sure. Thanks for watching
Get you a pair along surgical tongues. It’s easier to push those in the gel to retrieve bullets, then cut the gel to get the bullet. I love the Nosler bullets, They seem to be more accurate in most of my rifles
I have had great luck nosler too. I just don’t like the price. Haha
@@chrisevansgunshorsesranchi699 I don’t like the price either. And you only get 50 bullets instead of 100.
What Caliber Rifle were you using and how far was you shooting from?
264 win mag About 10 yards 2900 FPS Thanks for watching
@@chrisevansgunshorsesranchi699 WOW, I’m surprised that HotCor stayed together at that close range. I may have to give them a try.
@@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984 I think they are awesome. You will happy with them
"That's not a knife"
That is a knife haha
Gunnies? You must live close to me
Gunnies is the best. I live in Price Ut
@chrisevansgunshorsesranchi699 Nice! I really like the Price range. I'm in Utah county
The north springs range is awesome@@ReloadingWeatherby
I cannot fork over $90+ for 50 accubonds. Sorry Nosler. Even for a 100 bullets that price is ridiculous.
I haven't seen accubonds priced at 90$ But then again I haven't seen accubonds at all for about 3 or 4 years. That is why I did some testing on the Speers. They are everywhere for less than 30 bucks a hundred. When the accubonds are gone I will stick with the Speers and never look back. Thanks for watching
@@chrisevansgunshorsesranchi699 Canadian dollars.
I'm getting 2830 fps out my 7mm-08
2800 seems low. I am going to check it with my other rifle
the bullet that you like will probably work the best for you
Either one of these is good Thanks for watching
What was the gel
Clear ballistics gel is the brand they calling it the FBI block 10%
