30-06 with 165 grain Barnes TS. H414 powder. From deer to elk it just works! To many folks swap around with guns and change calibers and never really get settled in and learn there tool. Get behind one and get good with it is what I tell all the young hunters I’m around. Enjoying the shows as always.
@ I understand. You’re a great hunter and killed many an animal. The only thing I see with lots of folks is that the urge to “Change it Up” comes at the expense of lots of crippled game and that makes it hard on all of us, especially the critter on the other end of the mistake. Keep up the great content, it makes everyone learn.
270 130 gr. American whitetail 25-06 117 gr American whitetail 30-06 150 gr American whitetail 243 100 gr American whitetail I love hornady America whitetail. Never had an issue and deer never go more than 30-40 yards, most drop in their tracks
Howdy Jeremy! Some years ago I shot a buck a few weeks after my buddy shot him but didn't find him. He definitely had a spot high on his back, spine area that wasn't to old and he was shot within 100yds from the first time he was shot. So the following year on the same property I shot a real nice buck that drop and flopped and then got up and ran and I shot at him 2-3 more times. Couple hours go by and we start tracking him. I think we tracked him a half mile finding multiple spots of blood the size of cars hoods. Well we never found him dead or alive. The next year I shot another good 130s buck. Well once we were checking him out we found a bald patch high on his back that was scared up and we both felt like that was the buck I shot the year before. I enjoy watching you and hearing stories and learning from you. Take care now!
My wife and I love watching I have been following for a few years I cannot wait for your next video after each one I watch thanks guys…. I feel like no matter what we shoot as far as bullets there is always pros and cons, use what you are comfortable with and what works
Awesome bullets! I reload them in my 6.5 300 Weatherby my 257 Weatherby and a 243 I use sometimes. Im a believer in fast and flat. I will never use anything else. Only problem is no blood trail.....cause they dont run. Thanks for all the videos yall put out. You and Daniel are killers. Keep up the great content.
Ruger 300. Barnes 165grain. Over kill at times, but I don't like tracking. You touch em with it he's going down in sight. Anything barnes makes is excellent. Best most consistent bullet maker going. Love y'alls videos! Keep it up
I have been hunting with a TC Venture 308 for the last 10 years. Dropped an 8 point in his scrape this year shooting Hornady SST 150 Grain. I hunt in Steep southern WV mountains and rarely shoot over 200 yards. Killed quite a few bucks, several bears , and couple coyotes. Different strokes for different folks i guess. Love your Videos. Merry Christmas
Came across your channel about a week ago watching some hunting videos I subscribed and have been watching several videos a day while I'm off work for christmas and new years I really enjoy your calls videos keep up the good work
.280 rem, 140 grain with imr4831 around the house .300 rum, 180 grain with retumbo for long distances .243 win, 65 grain with imr4350 for the kids Keep up the great show guys, Merry Christmas from Louisiana
In the North Carolina public woods ive had great luck with my CVA single shot 450 bushmaster light weight short barrel works great for slipping threw the woods
Hi Jeremy now take this info for what it’s worth my dad and I have hand loaded for every single gun we own and in the 308 the best thing we have used is a 125 nosler ballistic tip now it may not be the best in the brush but when you are hunting fields or open woods there isn’t anything better in my opinion. My brother and brother in law have killed many deer with it and I’ve yet to see one make it more than 50 yards. If your interested in the load I can look up in the notes the powder and see what it is cause I can’t remeber off hand
Thanks for the video man those 130 gr ttsx are some great deer bullets. I love my 308s besides that it would be my 300 wm but I like my 308 for whitetail. I load Barnes,hornady amax and hammer bullets in mine. Keep up the good work man God bless
Merry Christmas, Mr. Jimmy and Miss Sandy! Love the videos! Been slinging lead from the 270 wsm since I was 9. She loves the Barnes 140gr and the nosler partition 150 gr! I’m 36 now but 2 years ago I was able to build my 6.8 western and let me tell you that 165 gr accubond is a tack driver!
A nice eight I got last year I shot with the bow, knew the shot was high. Couldn’t find much for blood and found the arrow a few hundred yards with meat on it. A few weeks later rifle season came in and I ended up getting him with the rifle.
I’ve been using the Barnes tipped tsx 150 grains in 7mm rem mag for a few years. They are a real tough bullet and your better off getting a shoulder shot if you can. I got these because that was all you could find during Covid. I have 85 hand loads left so I will use them up and make a decision later if I need to change.
Very glad you got a 2nd chance at that deer. Answers alot of questions and you don't have to wonder from here on out. I say, u are lucky to be able to have it end this way. Sleep will be better at night now. Congratulations. Most hunters never get a 2nd chance at the same buck. They are left always wondering what really happened.
U should try useing a 450 bushmaster if your shots are usually within that 250yd mark. I like a jacketed hollow point 250 grain. Prints about 3 inch groups at 200yds . The black butterfly 250 coppers are really devastating, but they dont group as well out of my gun, but if you're within a 150 yds, u won't be tracking.
Most of my deer were taken 30-06 with a 180 grain psp core-Lokt . Last 10 yrs I have hunted with Tika synthetic stock stainless in 270 Winchester 130 grain psp core-Lokt
30-06, 150gr. Sierra Game GameKing Soft point , harvested whitetails in Louisiana river bottoms from 10yds to 300yds. Merry Christmas to you and your family .
l reload for my guns my 308 is a deer killer. I'll give you a freaking deer stopper, try 125 gr Nosler Accubonds with VARGET. start at 45 gr work up to max.. I'm close to a full charge pushing close to 2880 fps. my gun has a 18" barrel so I'm loosing some speed, if your barrel is 20-22 inches you will hit close to 3000 + fps. the regular NBT are deer droppers to but the Accubonds will leave 2 holes. 300 yards and in the don't move far. your search is over your welcome lol...
I have the 16” Christensen in 308, shooting a 155 ELDM at 2700 fps. At the lower velocities, the eldm performs well as a hunting bullet. Many DRTs, but when they run it isn’t far. I wouldn’t use this bullet at that muzzle velocity past 350 yards. In MS, I don’t have many sets that offer over 200 yd shots. I too high shoulder the bucks. The only time I ever used barnes was a lease that had immature pine thickets. Barnes delivers the best blood trails, but rarely drops the deer where they stand.
I have reloaded for many years and I’ve found Barnes TTSX and Nosler Accubonds have had the best terminal performance for me. I love lighter faster Barnes bullets in most of my rifles because of the hydrostatic shock it produces is unreal. However in my .308 I have found the 150 Accubond works better for me. I have had better terminal performance with this combination. I use Varget and IMR 4064 both at max loads with great success. Good luck sir.
I use a 300 WM, and I love it. Recoil is hard, but less blood trails. I really like yalls videos and enjoy the content. Merry Christmas from NW Florida.
Merry Christmas congratulations on the deer awesome you got a 2nd chance on him and man that is they way to go with a copper bullet velocity is your friend with all copper I've done lot testing I've got the new Ruger sfar ar 10 with 16 inch barrel the 130 Barnes same ones you used give me more velocity and they expand better with the higher velocity even light in my cva cascade 7mag the light Barnes does way better quicker killed the heavy I've had trouble with expansion and longer distances. But love the channel keep grinding and pumping out the videos
I love my 450 Bushmaster, gotta a few people that love the 350 legend, i personally think its shot placement more than anything. Merry Christmas to you all!
Been reloading for 308 for 30 years, 150gr Hornaday interlock, never had to take a second shot, only had to track one deer about 80 yards, all the others DRT.
6.5x55 Swede 140 grain. Recoils like a .223, used all over Europe for game all the way up to red stag. Invented in the late 1800s, this was the OG 6.5 creedmoor lol. I have a modern rifle chambered in it but was made for the Swedish military to be shot out of their 6.5 Mauser rifles. Ammo Is cheap. I use the S&B brand. Very cheap and very accurate. Less than 1 inch groups
I shoot the hornady superformane eld-x in 139 grain, thinking of switching to Barnes 120 grain. How do you like the performance of the Barnes. I like the hornady but lately hornady has had too many inconsistencies.
Jeremy, I am a big fan of the Barnes bullets, in fact I have been on the Barnes "advisory staff" since the X-bullets first came out. I wrote the small introductory article for the 270 Winchester section in their 3rd edition reloading manual. As much as I love the bullets, be aware that they need speed to function well. Their literature states the bullets will expand down to 1800fps, and they will expand, but only to a very small diameter. For what I consider adequate expansion, set your impact velocity lower limit to 2400fps. Any slower and expansion will suffer. You will get a small mushroom and not have the dramatic quick kills that you get at closer ranges. You stated that you intended this rifle/load for 300yds or closer, I would set 300 as your absolute max, as you will be down to ~2200fps at that range. For your rifle next season, you may want to look at the 110gr, you can get them really fast, they kill like lightning, and have even lower recoil. You still have more penetration than you will ever need. I started my Son with the 110gr in his 308 as his first rifle. To date he as killed about 12 deer with this combo, and we have yet to recover a bullet. You will never recover one of these bullets on a broadside deer, their penetration is amazing. Be aware the lighter bullets start off faster, but they also bleed off velocity faster due to poor BC. It's all a trade-off, but for close to medium range they work great. I suggest you look up your load on JBM Ballistics and you can make some pretty accurate drop charts and see what your velocity is at different ranges. I hunt not too far from you on the Homochitto River. I killed a nice 8 point on the 3rd try years ago. First time he came out onto the sandbar at grey light, had a weak-side shot at about 150 yards and I cut 2 or 3 white hairs but did not hit meat. Second time he ran across the sandbar after a doe, clean miss on a running shot. Third time he trotted out onto the sandbar at about 50 yards, spined him with the first shot and had to put a finisher just like you did in this video. Once he was down, could see the spot on his brisket where the shot on the first encounter had cut some hairs. This was years ago. Today I would have passed those shots, I'm not as "mad" at the deer as I was when I was younger. These Mississippi deer have a hard life. The action on our place should start January 1, wish me luck this year !
I did the opposite. I shoot a carbine 3006 pump remington. I shoot 165gr hornady handloads with 54.5gr Imr 4350 2475fps. I shoot mostly 25 to 100 yes. I was having issues with bullets coming apart and not exiting. With the handloads I have recovered 16 of 17 shot deer and have recovered 2 bullets. All others exited clean. Longest I've shot this round is 200yds and it got same results. I think I have only had 3 or 4 get out of sight to have to track. None have went over 100yds. Faster isn't always better.
I’m a 6.5 125 grain soft point guy I’ve never had a problem with it so far can’t beat a soft point in any caliber oh I’m left handed also lol love your videos
man i shoot a 7mm 08 with 130 barnes tsx and they do well i only use that rifle 300 or less yds long range i shoot a 270 wsm with barnes ttsx and they do very well out to 650 yds using a burris eleminator 4 scope
Totally off subject but was curious if y'all ever thought about hosting a workshop boots on the ground weekend where folks could walk the woods with y'all and see how to scout, find sign etc. I know I'd definitely be down for it. Maybe a public wma or something and camp weekend. Would be fun .
270 130 and 150 grain Nosler Ballistic tip, Partition, and Ballistic silver tip. 308 125 grains through 168 grain Nosler bullets. I load my own also. Roy Weatherby's saying is speed kills.
.308, it just performs. And if it doesnt in your rifle, good thing they make a million different loadings to find something that does. 700 yrds and in and a 30 cal bullet with no recoil. Ill take it. My close, very close second is a .270. For the same reasons.
I shot a doe with a bow one week to the day out of the same tree after my uncle gave her a shave across the top of her back. She blew the whole time until I ventilated her lungs. He big mistake was walking behind a very large water oak! Game over!!! Merry Christmas
I’m big fan of Barnes 130 ttsx in 308. I don’t know what powder you’re using but Ramshot TAC works well in several 308s with 130 ttsx. TAC will also get you the best velocity. I hunt in Chickasaw county which is very close to you
I shot a big 7 pointer with my bow this year hit him low looked for 2 days never found him . Rifle season opened I shot him and got him . Really nice main frame 6 with a kicker
I have had the most success with a .270 130 grain round. Thank you for all your awesome videos!
270 cal, 150 grain has performed well for me for many years. Thanks for sharing the hunt.

I love hornady America whitetail. Never had an issue and deer never go more than 30-40 yards, most drop in their tracks
It is all in the shot placement.
Regardless of the caliber.
A bad shot is a bad shot.

I did the opposite. I shoot a carbine 3006 pump remington. I shoot 165gr hornady handloads with 54.5gr Imr 4350 2475fps. I shoot mostly 25 to 100 yes. I was having issues with bullets coming apart and not exiting. With the handloads I have recovered 16 of 17 shot deer and have recovered 2 bullets. All others exited clean. Longest I've shot this round is 200yds and it got same results. I think I have only had 3 or 4 get out of sight to have to track. None have went over 100yds. Faster isn't always better.
I’m a 6.5 125 grain soft point guy I’ve never had a problem with it so far can’t beat a soft point in any caliber oh I’m left handed also lol love your videos
man i shoot a 7mm 08 with 130 barnes tsx and they do well i only use that rifle 300 or less yds long range i shoot a 270 wsm with barnes ttsx and they do very well out to 650 yds using a burris eleminator 4 scope
Totally off subject but was curious if y'all ever thought about hosting a workshop boots on the ground weekend where folks could walk the woods with y'all and see how to scout, find sign etc. I know I'd definitely be down for it. Maybe a public wma or something and camp weekend. Would be fun .
270 130 and 150 grain Nosler Ballistic tip, Partition, and Ballistic silver tip. 308 125 grains through 168 grain Nosler bullets. I load my own also. Roy Weatherby's saying is speed kills.
Load 125's in my 06. Browning bar good to 400ish.
Congrats, glad you got another chance at him
I watched a nature doe drop with a dbl lung hit from a 22-250, I use three calibers depending on the hunt .308,45-70,7mm-mag
308 easy to find ammo and sometimes 450 bushmaster in the woods 100 yards in end
Iowa requires 35 caliber or larger. 9.3 x 62 mm , 185 grain Lapua
You mean to tell me no 30 cal? No 30-30, no 308, no 30-06?
.308, it just performs. And if it doesnt in your rifle, good thing they make a million different loadings to find something that does. 700 yrds and in and a 30 cal bullet with no recoil. Ill take it. My close, very close second is a .270. For the same reasons.
I switched to the barnes 130s in 308 and I won't go back. Longest shot was only 200yrds so far, but I'm a big fan.
7mm-08
270 win 130 gr ballistic tip I've never had to track a deer with it . shots from 30 out to 300 yards
7mm rem mag. Covers you from deer all the way up to Moose.
I shot a doe with a bow one week to the day out of the same tree after my uncle gave her a shave across the top of her back. She blew the whole time until I ventilated her lungs. He big mistake was walking behind a very large water oak! Game over!!!
Merry Christmas
Congratulations brother
Never shot one that got away and then got him later. Shot plenty that got away. Lol but never that i got later. Cool story! Congratulations!
7mm Mauser (7 x 57) 140 grain soft point.
Shot a buck a few years back with a slug. Tracked blood and never found him. Week later he was on camera with a wound that was high. Deer are tough!!
I’m big fan of Barnes 130 ttsx in 308. I don’t know what powder you’re using but Ramshot TAC works well in several 308s with 130 ttsx. TAC will also get you the best velocity. I hunt in Chickasaw county which is very close to you
Used my 308 this yr but I also enjoy my 243 ,270 and 300win hard to decide which I like the best
Congratulations y’all
I love my 270 I hid good luck with it I also hunt with a 7mm like them to but the 270 doesn’t kick like a 7mm lol
Shock doesnt kill, destruction of vital organs does.
Shock bust blood vessels and blood loss causes trauma.

Merry Christmas and God bless!
1997 Remington model seven 7MM 08
