Ep. 1 | How to Buy the Best Long-Range Ammo
Вставка

- When it comes to buying the best Long-Range ammo, there's no "One size fits all" answer. In this episode, Instructor Corey explains why certain types of ammo that work great for others might not work for you, and how you can find the best shooting, most consistent ammo for your rifle. We also discuss why buying in bulk from the same "Lot" of ammunition can save you the headache of dealing with inconsistencies in your ammo, even when it's all the same type from the same manufacturer.

So true on the lot numbers. My buddy's 308 was shooting awesome with American Whitetail 150gr until he changed to a new box and couldn't hold better than 6 MOA. He thought his Vortex scope went bad and was about to remove it, but I handed him 3 of my reloads and he clover-leafed those 3 shots. He got a bad box of ammo because the gun and scope were shooting great.
Ammo sensitivity is real and proven with that exact scenario.
Would love to hear more podcasts with Corey!
Love it! Thank you! Would love more info in bullets in AR15 platform, especially shooting at extended ranges, with .223 and 1/7 and 1/8 twist rates. Hate to add barrel lengths, but maybe limit to 16" and greater? Great info. Excited to hear more on a number of topics.
This might be a topic we address in the future, keep an eye out!
My wife's Winchester in 6.5 PRC came with a Vortex Diamondback installed and boresight zeroed by the seller (manager special). Took it to the range and it was only hitting 1 inch low at 300 yards! Smallest grouping I have ever fired at that distance! Thanks for the videos and and for making amazing optics!
Great stuff for beginners trying to learn! Thank you!
I've been shooting VORTEX for years, great to see these videos. Keep up the good work!
Love all my vortex products and was really appreciative of the budget models when I was in college just a few years ago
Awesome info guys! 😎 Love Vortex optics and customer service, 5 star rating for sure!! 👍😎
I still haven’t sighted in a hunting rifle or rifle or any sort for long range. I have a feeling this is going to help out a good bit. Appreciate y’all.
Vortex has the EDGE! Nothing but Vortex optics on all of my freedom shooters.
Been following Vortex Nation for years, enjoyed the Edge material that I've seen so far, and who doesn't want to win an optic?!? Would love to add the Vortex collection - pick me!
Your videos helps me decide what optics I wanted and I ended up getting one of yours! Thank you!
Hay Corey good to see you again, thanks for sharing your skills, knowledge & love of the sport with us, keep up the good work.
Hey Randy, we will keep this rig rolling!
Thank you for listening Randy! I hope to see you down here again sometime soon.
James and were at the range today using skills that you taught us last fall, you guys expanded our minds on how to purchase ammo, glass, guns, test equipment and then put them all together for enjoyable range times . Thanks
Love all the info on UA-cam and really like the Podcast . Please keep up the awesome work and keep your amazing products coming! You guys and gals are the best at what you do ! Gotta love American made! 🇺🇸
I’ve typically only shot my rifle at 100-200 yards for hunting. I am now looking to head west for mule deer so learning about longer distance shooting. (Yes, practice is definitely in order)
What are you guys considering “long range” shooting?
Would love to hear more about hunting marksmanship.
We do have a Hunter Marksmanship course that we shoot out to 500 yards and our long range pipeline we shoot out to 1000 yards. Definitely more on these topics to come!
Never bought match grade because I haven't done long range shooting, but I've always liked the art of it. I get the concept though because it's similar to defense ammo. Built for a purpose, so shop for a purpose.
Glad to know the Vortex Edge podcast is up and running! Keep up the great content!
Very informative! I am excited to build my first long-range rifle and use the information here to buy the best ammo.
Vortex is hands down the best. Love the products. Keep these videos coming!
Right great new channel. Long time vortex fan and product user trying to win some new merchandise for once. Let's go!!
Good Stuff
What lower drawer cabinets are those? Thanks
Sonic!
Excited to see more from this side of HQ
Excited to see more from this series,. I’ve gotten through a few dozen of the other Vortex podcasts. Great content!
Like these videos Vortex!! Keep them coming and getting people into the shooting sports and getting them educated on the different aspects of it!
Great video! I definitely learned from this discussion. I'll be checking the twist rate on my barrels versus the weight of the ammo I'm shooting. Really hadn't put any thought into it.
Thanks for all the free info Vortex!
Love this longform type content
Only optics that touch my rifles anymore!!! Have not used the pistol optics yet though
Nice information and introduction to the VTX peeps!
We love Vortex! Thank you for the chance!

Following along on the podcast, but I wanted to stop by and show some love.
Can’t wait to see what you guys have in store!

Great info. Thanks for the content and fantastic products
Great video with good information
I don’t comment on videos as well, but I sure would love a new optic!
Haven't really go into long range shooting yet. My range maxes out at 300 yards but I do have an 18" 5.56 SPR with match barrel and a 2.5-10x scope. Looking to rebarrel it to 6mm ARC and start dabbling in long range shooting. I do want to get a 6.5 Creedmoor bolt gun down the road.
Thanks for the video!
Informative. Great video.
Lots of knowledge being dropped. Keep up the good work guys
Awesome job Jimmy

Long Range shooting is a fun challenge.

I don’t normally leave comments on video’s, but when I do its because someone’s dangling a carrot on a stick.
I Love Vortex and I’m a loyal customer for life. The Venom is my favorite optic out and I would love to test out the new defender, hook me up!!! :)

Those are some serious headsets for a podcast my dudes.

The only thing I like more than Vortex products is Vortex gear! Why not have your shirt and optic match!
