I said it before Hootie-man, gitchu one of those outdoor canopies then your ammo, your rifle, and you will all be in the shade. That is a special rifle, all different ammo and the point of impact hardly moved. Hang on to that one!
Based solely on first-round placement. I would feel comfortable with any of the rounds. You get one shot and it's going to be a cold bore. Seeing that all the rounds performed very well on the first shot, all of them would be a fine choice. Your deer won't know the difference. Great Video WTW!!!
May I suggest that you get a portable sun shade, the kind that is square and pops up. Get them for under $100 @ W.M. That way you, the rifle, the ammo, and the whole shebang could be in the shade and comfortable.
I am impressed with the consistency with all of those different ammos. Looks like Remington has upped their game in the ammo department. I'm really liking that rifle, too.
Love me a .308 cal. Early ‘70s dad graduated me from an 03A3 30-06 cal. to a brand new Parker-Hale .308 cal. Winchester It shot tight groups with 180 gr. reloads. I enjoy your videos! Thank you! 👍👊🏻
Backfire repeated Ron's results too. I am a huge fan of Barnes bullets. J shoot their 175LRX in my Savage .308. I have now harvested mule deer, 5x5 elk, cougar and black bear with 127LRX in 6.5cm. The elk and bear dropped in their tracks. The others went less than 30 yards.
I bought a battery-powered air mattress inflator, trimmed the barrel & found a straw that fits the barrel of .22-250's. It works great out in the field, drastically cutting barrel cooling times. When I don't have my pump, simply propping my rifle up (in the shade) for a drawing effect really helps as well. I'm just say"n. Cooling time, in the summer heat...heck, even in winter's cold, gets old fast. Yet another great video - thank you!👍
9:22 Bro I'm going to keep saying this... you mess up your groups (Last shot) by breaking shooting position, especially when you get excited when there goes two into one hole. Believe me, it really makes a difference trying to keep the exact shooting position. Love your content either way!
totally agree, but also very understandable, on the range on your own you would not move a muscle as you have said, but, knowing thousands of people who share the same enthusiasm are watching and to be entertained.
I have a Howa 1500 in 308. My pet load uses a 165gr Hdy BTSP, Varget powder, for a .5" average at 100yds. That turned out to be the best, testing all sorts of 150 and 165gr bullets. That particular gun likes that bullet / powder combo. I'd have to go look up the load data sheet, but it was not a fast mover, more middle of the velocity rage if I recall. That said, that gun/ammo combo is my visitor gun at the ranch. That rifle of yours will shoot.
Thank for the video man. I may have to pick one of those rifles up and that ones in my favorite cartridge. As far as what bullets I would use hunting. I would pick the copper load. I switched to all copper bullets for all my primary hunting ammo that I load a couple years ago and to me the copper bullets I use (hammers and Barnes) seem to put animals down faster and not waisted meat. Thanks again man keep up the good work God bless you
I wanted to give you my take on 165gr. I have a Remington Model 30 Express in 30-06. Now, this is an old army rifle that my grandfather gave me when I turned 16. It is a 1917 Enfield action with the ears milled off. A 1906 Springfield barrel. An old army stock cut down into a sporter. Weighs in at 9.6 lbs. I shoot Sierra 165gr. BTSP in front of 47.0gr of IMR 4064, either Remington 9 1/2 or Win LR primers. In the old military brass. Which now have roughly 10 or 11 loadings. Brass is cleaned in media tumbler, and Necks pushed back .0025 then seated to 3.700 I average .500 to .625 groups, depending on temperature and humidity. Try working up a hand load with 165gr. You'll like them. Jeffrey D
Thats a winner 🏆 budget friendly and shoots good with different ammo weights. As far as Im concerned the cheaper box of ammo you shot is good for deer hunting in the hills of Ky.
Great test. Got me thinking about another thrower. I’d like to see a Gel test on the copper and the 180 and how much the bullets react to wood(tree branch). Deflection and penetration(?). But those I’m thinking are experimental in the woods or time in the field.
I've been extremely impressed with the copper bullets hunting the last few years. I'd go with that, but prep the barrel a bit(clean well and run a couple boxes)
Another great testing video. Sometimes it’s good to do some ammo testing to see what other ammo that gun might like or if it’s picky. Because you might not be able to find or get a certain ammo at the time you need or want it but you have backup options. I may have taken a mulligan on the 165s, just in case and put a 4th one on paper. All of those will definitely hunt, but for where you’re at in some thicker areas those 180s would be the choice. You have probably sold more Savages especially as of late and Ruger Americans 🇺🇸 than anyone else in the country lol 😆. I would love this gun in a left hand in either the 350 L, 400 L or 450 BM since I now live in Ohio. 😃🦌
Whoot, you do such a great job of accuracy testing everyday guns. Have you considered the new savage straight pull bolt? I can’t remember what they call it?
WTW, I got to go on a rant. When I was young (70's & 80's) you had your choice of Rem 700, Ruger 77, Win 70 & Weatherby if you had the cabbage. Those rifles were offered in like a dozen calibers short, long, magnum. These a-holes now want to offer .308, 6.5 CM & maybe 223 and that's it. WTF? Got a 223 and don't want the other two. We're screwed on unique calibers.
Browning, Colt/Sauer, Mannlicher, Mauser, Savage, & I think even Marlin had a bolt rifle in the 1970s. Rem had the 788 and the 600 series as well during those years and Winchester had the 670. One can still get a fairly broad range of cartridges, if one has the cabbage.😉
If you could superimpose all those groups somehow, that would be a pretty impressive 18-shot group. Pretty crazy considering the varied bullets and weights!
Hey, it may be more of a pain than it's worth, but it would be cool if you could setup a chronograph for these ammo tests. Even if you just took the average of the 3 shots. I know I personally don't have one and try to find the same bullet being shot out of the same model rifle for a velocity for my ballistic data.
Mine loves the 168 match as well love what u do brother like I have told u before I watch your videos every morning that's how I start my day with some who tee who
Dang Adam, you Almost got a trifecta!!! #1 Must clean bore before or after copper comment #2 Must keep Ammo in the shade and looked but couldn't find #3 Did you chronograph the loads?? LMAO!!!!!! I would use the copper 150's. Xlnt vid as always
I would like to see the 165 grain given another chance. I had a savage 110 .308 that loved the 165. Not to be a keyboard warrior but just to make sure that 2 flier wasn't a fluke or not as consistent trigger pull.
Go buy a battery power air pump like for air beds, off the discharge side us a rubber gas line about a foot long, open bolt, put the rubber line just in the chamber and turn the pump on... 1 min later the barrel is ambient temp ready to go another group, cuts the cool down time drastically down
150 grain and up for elk, moose and small bear. 180 grain for bison and medium bear. 150 or less for deer and pronghorns. .45-70 and bigger with 250 grain or heavier for the big bears. This is all assuming correct shot placement. And yes, I've heard the stories about the 95 pound woman with the .22 cal revolver and the Alaskan Brown bear. Grizzly Adams used to be one of my favorite sit-coms. You I trust.
I'd like to see if this rifle likes any of the grain weights that Fort Scott Munitions has to offer in their solid copper. They offer .308 in 150gr, 165gr, 168gr, and 175gr. I am a big fan of the Hogue Overmolded stocks. I have a Ruger M77 Alaskan Hawkeye chambered in 300 Win Mag with the same type of stock.
I have the 110 tacticalon a Choate stock topped with a Vortex Viper 6.5x20x50. Very basic. I use Federal Gold Match 68gr. I get groups under an 1" all day.
I know I sound like a broken record. I always test my hunting loads and match to gun after all that is done leave outside overnight better in cool climate make sure that first shot is in the bullseye. In Indiana rifle season in mid November is sometimes cool and you usually get ONE SHOT to kill that buck
I own a savage 110, in .223, its my most accurate rifle i own, with 68gr hornady bthp match bullets handloads i have put 5 shots in a nickle at 100 yards. I own a couple handfuls of rifles
You are making us all look bad. You shoot 1/2 inch groups day in and day out. I will get a 1/2 inch group if the stars align perfectly. I do love a 308 Great video
I paused video at 2:16 to comment. I like heavy bullets so I would probably buy the 180 grain if I could afford only 1. Paused again at 10:56. The 180 looks like it was less than .5 inch. I would take that any day.

.308 is apparently great for penetration of computer monitors. If you know, you know. Great video!
I saw that video earlier on donut operator.... badass
Clean up Other's mess. Thanks... ☆
Great ammo test. Just another
Example of Savage accuracy.
I said it before Hootie-man, gitchu one of those outdoor canopies then your ammo, your rifle, and you will all be in the shade. That is a special rifle, all different ammo and the point of impact hardly moved. Hang on to that one!
Yes! If the camera shots will allow it DO IT! We won't laugh because we understand.⛱
Based solely on first-round placement.
I would feel comfortable with any of the rounds.
You get one shot and it's going to be a cold bore.
Seeing that all the rounds performed very well on the first shot, all of them would be a fine choice.
Your deer won't know the difference.
Great Video WTW!!!

Ron Sponer posits you must clean your barrel before using copper ammo if you have used regular ammo. Could tighten up that group even more.
He doesn't say you MUST, he admits he doesn't know why but typically coppers in his experience don't shoot as well after shooting traditional guilded
Backfire repeated Ron's results too.
I am a huge fan of Barnes bullets. J shoot their 175LRX in my Savage .308.
I have now harvested mule deer, 5x5 elk, cougar and black bear with 127LRX in 6.5cm. The elk and bear dropped in their tracks. The others went less than 30 yards.
I don't know about the ammo in the shade but who tee who needs to be in the shade
Nothing wrong with watching a long video as long as you are shooting.
I bought a battery-powered air mattress inflator, trimmed the barrel & found a straw that fits the barrel of .22-250's. It works great out in the field, drastically cutting barrel cooling times. When I don't have my pump, simply propping my rifle up (in the shade) for a drawing effect really helps as well. I'm just say"n.

Whooo that thing shoots! And great demo of what a wide selection of the Green Machine's ammo can do

,806" for eight 3 shot groups is FANTASTIC. Let me know if you want to sell that rig.
I used you code at ARKEN yesterday for my second EP5 and 4th ARKEN overall, love that glass
I am a huge Arken fan
Great video and nice looking Savage!
Thats a winner 🏆 budget friendly and shoots good with different ammo weights. As far as Im concerned the cheaper box of ammo you shot is good for deer hunting in the hills of Ky.

In the future when you are testing boo lot stingers or ammo, can you mention what the barrel twist rate is...if ya know. Thanks love the channel.
Your show is amazing and the best 👏👏👏👏 and the Remington amo is great for my 7mag and 300mag and 3006 and thanks again for the great info 👍👏👍👍👏😁
I've been extremely impressed with the copper bullets hunting the last few years. I'd go with that, but prep the barrel a bit(clean well and run a couple boxes)
I have a Remington and a RUGER in .308. They both like 150 s. But they both like PMC bronze 147 the best. Thanks for the video.
That looks like a sweet rig Whootee, I'd choose one in 7mm08 for medium game, and maybe 300wsm or 300winmag for larger game
Some great groups in there. I would probably take the 180 CL Tipped hunting.
Great testing 180g good job 🇺🇸👍👍

Whoot, you do such a great job of accuracy testing everyday guns. Have you considered the new savage straight pull bolt? I can’t remember what they call it?
I have a 30-06 Remington that really likes 165 grain boat tail bullets. I have gotten many deer with that combo.
The great thing about the savage 110 is that it will shoot most bullets pretty well.
Great it’s not pickie about ammo👍Use the 180 grain when you hunt
WTW, I got to go on a rant. When I was young (70's & 80's) you had your choice of Rem 700, Ruger 77, Win 70 & Weatherby if you had the cabbage.

100% agree with you on the 180gr. Think large! Nothing beats mass for deep penetration on game.
I like the regular core lokt Remington 180 grain myself
My Howa Superlite likes the 150 Corelokt Tipped the best
Great. Video buddy and good shootin
Heck yea bud, awesome video, fixing to buy same gun in 30/06
Awesome
I would like to see you ammo test 6.5x55 Swede. Love your channel!!!!
Appreciate you watching
Another great watch! I want to try that copper now.
So far so good
If you could superimpose all those groups somehow, that would be a pretty impressive 18-shot group. Pretty crazy considering the varied bullets and weights!
If all of savage 110 do the same, it's better than any other rifle I have seen... Amazing. And the ammo? wow.
Hey, it may be more of a pain than it's worth, but it would be cool if you could setup a chronograph for these ammo tests. Even if you just took the average of the 3 shots. I know I personally don't have one and try to find the same bullet being shot out of the same model rifle for a velocity for my ballistic data.
Awesome groups, that's impressive
Awesome video brother
Thanks for watching
I have an old Remington, it likes 150,an 180 grain boolots. Haven't tried the others.
Mine loves the 168 match as well love what u do brother like I have told u before I watch your videos every morning that's how I start my day with some who tee who
Appreciate you watching bigtime
Savage 110 series are generally tack drivers due to the bolt design.
I would have thought u would have tried some 175g SMK also for grouping.
Dang Adam, you Almost got a trifecta!!! #1 Must clean bore before or after copper comment #2 Must keep Ammo in the shade and looked but couldn't find #3 Did you chronograph the loads?? LMAO!!!!!! I would use the copper 150's. Xlnt vid as always
That gun is a definite shooter!
I love it
I would like to see you test a Nosler M21 in the 27 Nosler.
👍😊 definitely a good setup.
brotha adam, great vid n shootin there , great to see you having fun , keep em hot down range , thanks n talk soon brotha , luv ya > tom !
Your bringing a deer home! That copper to me was the best.
I like the 165 grain also
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! That was some great shoot'n brother! 👍👍
I'm really interested in this one , might you possibly do a accuracy test without the can??????
Adam if you can try some 168 tipped hunting bullets in that 110 . That would be your best all round hunting bullet in the .308
I would like to see the 165 grain given another chance. I had a savage 110 .308 that loved the 165. Not to be a keyboard warrior but just to make sure that 2 flier wasn't a fluke or not as consistent trigger pull.

A gun that put lots of ammo with that little shift in inpact that is a gun to keep 👍
My experience has been the same with the 165 grain bullets with two 30-06 one 300wsm and one 308
My '06 loves 165gr Speers and imr 4350
Good info!
Those new trail hunters give you a lot of gun for the money. Savage should sell a whole bunch of them.
Savage has up'd their game. I wish they would bring back the Hawg Hunter in 338 Federal. This cartridge should be way more popular!
Tell us what is the rifle twist rate. This is critical with different bullet weights. I would recommend 10 inch twist.
Got you a dandy ass rifle. Good stuff
Ron Spomer would say use what works, but copper is king. Just clean your barrel first. So copper.
150 grain and up for elk, moose and small bear. 180 grain for bison and medium bear. 150 or less for deer and pronghorns. .45-70 and bigger with 250 grain or heavier for the big bears. This is all assuming correct shot placement. And yes, I've heard the stories about the 95 pound woman with the .22 cal revolver and the Alaskan Brown bear.

Pretty cool don't usually see a boolot slinger that likes that many kinds of boolot s I would take the 180 s I like a heavy large boolot for hunting
Adam is the best , hands down.
Always appreciate you watching Peter
Bullet node plays alot in accuracy
You should get a canopy to keep sun off you when testing boolots!
Need one
How thick is that barrel? Curious if it has a heavier profile or lighter contour.
165 gr tipped if I had to chose from that selection.
I know I sound like a broken record. I always test my hunting loads and match to gun after all that is done leave outside overnight better in cool climate make sure that first shot is in the bullseye. In Indiana rifle season in mid November is sometimes cool and you usually get ONE SHOT to kill that buck
I own a savage 110, in .223, its my most accurate rifle i own, with 68gr hornady bthp match bullets handloads i have put 5 shots in a nickle at 100 yards. I own a couple handfuls of rifles
I pick the all copper!
Ever thought about getting a pop-up for some shade there?
Yup. Gonna have to get one
You know I like the heavies
My bullets ride around in my pickup heat and cold doesn't seem to affect it
I've had 6 308's all of them group under 1" with 168 grn match bullets non of them like 165. Some of them will group 168 hunting bullets under 1 moa.
❤❤❤
Nice groups.
I love it
The weird thing about copper bullets is the suck at penetrating steel. Don't know if you ever watched banna ballistics channel he show it.
Damn.. i want one
You are making us all look bad. You shoot 1/2 inch groups day in and day out. I will get a 1/2 inch group if the stars align perfectly. I do love a 308 Great video
🤣🤣🤣
Amazing
Adam, I think you Jinxed the 165 gr .😊 I think your thumb is hindering your groups Adam when your thumb is healed do a retake on the 308's.
I paused video at 2:16 to comment. I like heavy bullets so I would probably buy the 180 grain if I could afford only 1. Paused again at 10:56. The 180 looks like it was less than .5 inch. I would take that any day.
