Hey Mate, you will use less rounds, if you sight in with a group, instead of trying to do single rounds and adjust it to the bullzeye, shoot 3 rounds and adjust from the centre of the group. you will have more luck and save some precious ammo. trust the clicks on the scope to do thier job. Thats what they are for.
Yeah, everybody has their own method, but I have always been taught to shoot a 3 shot group, adjust, let the barrel cool for about 5 min, and shoot again. I've also always been told to use sandbags, but again, to each his own.
@@MutarFuqueer yeah, you can definitely chase you tail, especially if the ammo / rifle combo wont hold the yardstick 3 in an inch at 100. Wasn't too long ago , 3 in 3 at 100 was considered hunt ready for deer and up.
ABSOLUTELY Way underrated cartridge. It really comes into it's own with the new powders and bullets, in a platform with the appropriate magazine and barrel length.
@@jonnybgoode7742 I guess it depends what it's main purpose will be. Mine was strictly a hunting rifle for deer, gophers on occasion. It was a 24" 1:9" twist that shot everything well from 120gr Ballistic Tips to 154gr SST.
@@stevepuyear2738 hunting rifle. First rifle and I kinda want to cover the bases but still throw a bullet on the heavier side. Twist rate was my biggest question seeing as how the only options I can find are 22 and 20 inch.
I’m a 7mm man for many years. 280, 280 Ackley, 7 mag. The last few years 7mm-08 is fast becoming my “go to” in hunting and shooting. Love it. If you get a Browning, budget a trigger. Theirs are rocks even after adjustment
If your wanting to shoot 1000yrds with a 7mm i recommend jumping up to a 150gr or heavier bullet. I have best results with 160-175gr bullets. Good video
I used a Remington 700 Varmint Special in 7mm-08 for several years in the ‘80s for metallic silhouette matches. The 140gr boat tail would knock over the steel ram targets at 500 meters without problems.
I really like the fusion bullets I have always had great results out of them out of my 300 win mag and 30-06. I always get the 180grain and my rifles preform excellent with them, I get quick 1 shot humane kills when deer hunting and almost always drop the deer in their tracks. My 30-06 produces 5 bullets in the same hole at 100 yards and the 300 win mag produces a quarter size group at 100 yards
I was looking for some rounds to break my 25-06 barrel in when I first got it and I thought about the Fusion ammo. I talked to a guy that has shot bout every type ammo on the market he told me the fusion ammo didn’t get the best groups now. So I waited till I got my 25-06 put together and it’s shot Nosler ballistic tips every since. Never had a factory round shot through it and as long as I am able to reload and can get Nosler ballistic tips it never will. I’m just going by what this guy told me now. He never lied to me about anything.
I’ve had mad mojo with 7mm-08. Bought a used cva hunter and the throat is shorter than an ant. Factory ammo jams the lands. Ended up buying a Remington 700 magpul in 6.5 creedmoor. Loves 140 grain federal fusion.
You have to remember the farther out you go even the slightest amount your off at your sight in range that will be x10 at a 1000. And with the drop of the bullet you could go thru a boat load of ammo and not get close to the target. Does this rifle have a 20MOA rail on it? Most hunting rifles don't come with this feature you may run out of adjustment at 1000 yards with this scope. For long range.shooting I'd suggest having a individual that is familiar with mounting long range scopes on rifles set it up for you or at least guide you so it's spot on. Good luck long range shooting is fun and challenging at the same time.
Just started hunting with a Thompson center venture 7mm-08 this year. I think its my new favorite hunting caliber. I reload my own ammo using hornady sst bullets. They performed amazingly well on the 3 does ive shot so far! I've always had okay luck with federal fusion in all of my guns but they've never been a tack driving bullet. If you're shooting long range id highly recommend getting in to reloading. If not, I'd go with a more premium match grade round. Those groups will be a quarter the size when you find what that gun likes :) my American 223 shoots 1/3" groups at 100 yards all day! It amazes me every time I shoot it.
Great caliber. Underrated IMO. I have often considered it. I either went 7mm RemMag or 308. I would get a 7mm08 over a 6.5 Creed. Enjoy. If you are able to get them, Hornady Precision Hunter is a 150gr. ELD-X or Nosler Trophy Grade is a 140gr. Accubond. Great B.C. & not bad for hunting for sure.
My method for sighting in is very basic. Put one round after bore sighting. Adjust cross hairs to exactly where the bullet hit. Next round is usually dead center.
The second shot was picture perfect man! What a bummer about the scope. Would've loved to see you finish the sighting in one shot deal but I understand. Time and ammo haha
That black rifle black stick hanging on the wall is a knight mk93 in 50 caliber..I bought two and hunted with 2 at the same time every hunt..you will go with one muzzle loader..and it takes you about a minute or more to reload and shoot..it takes me about 3 or 4 seconds to get a second shot...where's the video using that muzzle loader? It's probably 25 years old
That's a BB Gun compared to the 300 WSM, but a lot more enjoyable to shoot. I'd rather have a 7mm-08 than a 6.5 Creedmoor Better range of bullet weights for different sized game animals, and a flat shooter...
Well my son took 2 deer this season with the Federal Fusion. One heart placement went 15 yards. The other double lung went about 70 yards leaving a path all the way. Both were inside 60 yards so not a long shot but he freehanded both so I would say the product works pretty good. It was a 6.5 Creedmoor though. I’m looking mighty hard at 7mm-08 for my next rifle but with 2 6.5’s and a 30-30 I don’t “need” another one esp given we mostly have 130 yard or less shots. I really like the ballistics on the 7mm-08 and almost wish I had talked him into buying one. Good stuff.
I have never used fusion but have had to help track several deer where fusion expansion wasn't great and made for a long track. I'm a hornady interlock guy myself. I also hunt with a Weatherby 7mm-08 and love the caliber.
I have a T/C Venture All-Weather and love it. I also shoot & hunt w/ Federal Fusion 120’s. I get sub MOA at 100 yards with them and they’ve performed well for me hunting.
love that ammo my self. work on holding your rifle more secure and you need more shots before adjusting to get a real accurate center of the group then adjust the scope to the enter
WTW everyone has their own way of setting a rifle scope it seems. After making adjustment for the first few times I always bang the new scope a tad with my hand. Somethings just need to break in a little to work proper. I've did this for 20 + years with cheap and expensive scopes. If ever you doubt a scope put the gun or scope in a vise. Put the crosshairs on a mark on the wall or wherever. Now take a rubber mallet and give it a love tap. Not exceedingly hard but solid. Check placement of your crosshairs. If it jumps off target your scope is malfunctioning or in hillbilly slang junk.🤣😂 Seriously it does work. I have found 4 scopes I can remember in my own weapons and working part time at an outdoors (gun store) store years ago. 90% of the time it's in the mounting hardware or something most won't admit. Their shooting technic. Also try a level mounted to your scope. Keeps you level at distance. I also read somewhere the trajectory is on par with, if I remember correctly 300 W.M.?
I am going to try one of those Zero Tech scopes. I have a 7mm Mag that needs a little better scope than whats on it, and I think it would be the perfect candidate for one. You were talking about the scope being cantalated over, and not exactly straight. Had that happen to me before, as well. easy to do. Bought a 243 one time, and it had a scope on it, and looked through it, and the scope was turned where it looked like a tic tac toe X rather than straight. I asked the dealer about it, and he said it had belonged to a guy in his neighborhood that everyone called Uncle Shakey. And he had consigned it for his widow. He said Uncle Shakey never could hit with a scope turned the right way, so he always put on his scopes where X marked the spot, then he could always hit with it. I really don't know whether the guy was telling the truth, but I thought it was such a good story, than I went home with Uncle Shakeys gun. :-)
Always had good luck with federal. I've found the regular blue box to shoot dead on with just about any gun. Give it a try. We've all had the scope to the right or left. Awesome video as usual.
Do you reload/load? If not, you should. If you really want to tighten up your group, custom loaded ammo is the way to go. You ought to give it a try... maybe Hornady would sponsor you if you were to start loading???
120 may be a light bullet for long range targets , but it works for deer . If you set the depth of bullet seating it usually helps , but have to load your own .
Just wondering..... Is it better to move the cross hairs to the bullet hole? Or move the hairs the opposite way of the hole? I have better consistency when I move them to where the bullet went? Ive seen both ways
I’m a big fan of the Ruger American rifle. It’s been a work in progress for a while, but my RA 22-250 drives tacks and smacks hard. These “cheap” rifles (although not cheap here any more) can be made to shoot well with a bit of effort. Great video again. Cheers. Nick from Australia.
Hi, WHO_TEE_WHO, I love your videos and you attitude. Thanks! Could you please check out a rifle in .277 FURY as soon as and IF you can get access to it for a review, it looks like one of the closest competitors to this one and a first major advancement in ammo technology in decades.
Wonder if theres a kit to make this rifle aics magazine compatability. 7mm08 is a great caliber here in wv mountains. But would love to have aics mags for it
Out of all of my rifles only Zastava M70 in 7mm rem mag likes federal ammo..... if you're looking for something different WTW maybe get Zastava in 375 H&H its a pretty good gun for the price and its control feed 👍
Fusion ammo in my experience is just ok not what id use fer precision shooting i use the cheapest stuff i can get to tune my barrels and get on paper close to where i want it then find the ammo i need/want to do the job i need/want.
Personally, i have had better luck shooting groups as someone else mention. It may sound contradictory but for me, shooting more shots in a group led to shoots less overall. I also noticed that it helped the crosshairs to "settle in", regardless of the price point of my scopes, rather than constantly adjusting. All my scopes other than my rimfire are zeroed in 2" high at 100 yds.
Nice rifle. Never used Federal Fusion before, but by the look of some of the comments it has varying feedback about its quality. Hard to shoot nice groups when the rounds are erratic. Catch you tomorrow.
Brother and a friend shot deer with them both had less than desirable results minimum damage and no blood . The also do not group well in their guns 1.5 to 2 inch plenty for wisconsin deer but not food enough for me. Hornady is my choice except my 308 it loves 150 federal power shock ammo.
I have. A 7mm-08 they tend to like. Heavier bullets really. Evwn if they say the lighter bullet works better they tend to like around 100+grain bullets
Well i tried the 100 grain in my 7mm 08 and they shot terrible. Now for the 55 grain, that's another story. those things are tack drivers. I'm so confident in them I'm taking them on my hopefully 2nd consecutive successful elephant hunt here in N. Ga. I will update on hunt.
Update: Didn't have any luck this year. Circus didn't make it to town this year year, canceled over covid concerns. Put in for tags next year, tags are peanuts. Might as well. Hunter pro tip: you can use them for bait too.
Federal Fusion is taboo on our deer lease. Bad accuracy and bad performance. None of the guys that have used it, including myself have had good results. I love the 7mm-08 and have had 2 of them but had to let them go because of the lack of quality ammo availability here in southwest Arkansas. I prefer Hornady SST.
Shot a deer with a fusion 3 days ago. Bullet didn’t pass through at 80 yards on a 120 pound doe. I found the bullet under the skin on the opposite side and it mushroomed well, but it seemed to expand to fast. I would like to know your experiences, thank you.
The last shot was the highest one. I’m not sure why, but just about every scope I’ve adjusted seems to not move as much as I intended a couple of times, then make a big jump on a small adjustment. Go figure.
Awesome video like always ... Sometimes the duck swims on water other times the duck cannot even drink water ... we all have them days that all we do adds up to very little .. anyway like always enjoy your videos .. Happy thanksgiving sir

Hello who tee who hope you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving!
I run Fusion but in 140 grain out of a Savage Hunter out to 1200 yds at a friends range
Lap your rings always! it will cut your group sizes in half, I promise. Align them the best you can with a couple pieces of bar stock, then lap them.
For 1,000 yards a 140 Gr BTHP, from a 24 inch barrel would make easy work of 1000 yards.
Looking forward to your long range videos on the 7MM 08
Me too! 🤪
120 may be a light bullet for long range targets , but it works for deer . If you set the depth of bullet seating it usually helps , but have to load your own .
Yup
Also check your mounts and scope rings for Tightness sometimes when a gun is being fired the scope moves
Check the click values B4 twisting, it is a major necessity!!!
Very nice buck
I am going to give them a go thanks mate.
Thanks for watching Richie
Do you "Break In" a barrel before you start shooting a rifle?

Boom boom bang
I believe that rifle does not like fusion Bullets brother. I’ve never tried it great video brother be safe and GOD BLESS
I like Hornsby Match ammo for hunting. Always seems to be on target, if it’s not, it’s me. Just my 2 cents worth.
Nice rifle. Never used Federal Fusion before, but by the look of some of the comments it has varying feedback about its quality. Hard to shoot nice groups when the rounds are erratic. Catch you tomorrow.
My 2506 loves federal fusion
Brother and a friend shot deer with them both had less than desirable results minimum damage and no blood . The also do not group well in their guns 1.5 to 2 inch plenty for wisconsin deer but not food enough for me. Hornady is my choice except my 308 it loves 150 federal power shock ammo.
Great video
Thanks for watching Michael
If you have that much eye relief, i'd scoot the scope further down some
I'm going to say that a good 2 or three shots between scope adjustments is a more sure way to be sure that the shots arent just stringing everywhere.
Yeah. Costs money
@@WHOTEEWHO in all honesty my guy.... Im a bit curious why you don't reload. I know you use alot of ammo and its rarely the same brand twice
No time. I alreafy hardly sleep 🤷♂️
@@WHOTEEWHO well. Shit. Spunds like you need an assistant with a press lmao
Who Tee, would you consider a video that shows groupings of holes with the identical setup but with varying bullet grains?
Already planning to 👍👍
How about the penny challenge with 22 pistols??? Love to see you and Paul try that one.
You need to use the Plumb bob when mounting a scope that way it’s straight up and down plus get a small level to make it scope and rifle are level
I use levels. I just did this one in a hurry
@@WHOTEEWHO ok
You can chase your zero all day shooting 1 shot groups you need to shoot three shot groups
3 shot groups are for rich people
I have. A 7mm-08 they tend to like. Heavier bullets really. Evwn if they say the lighter bullet works better they tend to like around 100+grain bullets
Well i tried the 100 grain in my 7mm 08 and they shot terrible. Now for the 55 grain, that's another story. those things are tack drivers. I'm so confident in them I'm taking them on my hopefully 2nd consecutive successful elephant hunt here in N. Ga. I will update on hunt.
Update: Didn't have any luck this year. Circus didn't make it to town this year year, canceled over covid concerns. Put in for tags next year, tags are peanuts. Might as well. Hunter pro tip: you can use them for bait too.
Federal Fusion is taboo on our deer lease. Bad accuracy and bad performance. None of the guys that have used it, including myself have had good results. I love the 7mm-08 and have had 2 of them but had to let them go because of the lack of quality ammo availability here in southwest Arkansas. I prefer Hornady SST.
Shot a deer with a fusion 3 days ago. Bullet didn’t pass through at 80 yards on a 120 pound doe. I found the bullet under the skin on the opposite side and it mushroomed well, but it seemed to expand to fast. I would like to know your experiences, thank you.
Question is this scope clear in every setting and how’s the tracking would it hold up too your magnum rifle
Haven't shot the federal fusion but have no problems with the Winchester super x ammo
Awesome
I shoot hand loads 139 grain. Out of both my 7mm-08's. Actually one likes 140 a little better but not much difference.
Which got the most power 6.8 western or 7mm mag what is you experience
The last shot was the highest one. I’m not sure why, but just about every scope I’ve adjusted seems to not move as much as I intended a couple of times, then make a big jump on a small adjustment. Go figure.
Happy Thanksgiving! What do you think about 280 Rem.... I love this underappreciated round....
Never tried 280
@@WHOTEEWHO try it....if you have the chance....it will surprise you, sir
Where can you get these zero tec scopes from? I googled them, but it says you have to find a dealer?
Awesome video like always ...
Sometimes the duck swims on water other times the duck cannot even drink water ... we all have them days that all we do adds up to very little .. anyway like always enjoy your videos ..
Happy thanksgiving sir
Thanks for watching apache!
I know the pain of not having the scope centered. It happened to me sighting in and I went through so much ammo.
