It’s so cool seeing most of my favourite gun YouTube channels having fun together. The only way this could be better is if Ron Spoomer was there. ❤
-
Loved it when the last dude said 7mm mag. That's what I've been using for my hunting rifle since I was 16. Weatherby Vanguard Japanese beauty.
-
. 270 Winchester does all I need it to do, doesn't have the fancy wildcat name, but 1000 yards target is toast!
-
I bought my Ruger M77 in 7mm Rem Mag back in 1974. No regrets. It isn’t the latest and greatest, but I was slinging 7mm lead long before it was fashionable. 😁
-
I’m 100% with the big guy. Amongst calibers you talked about, only 7 mag shines. But any of you ever heard about 270 win? Man, it’s phenomenal. Light and lethal.

Such a fun discussion
-
While it might not be fancy or the flattest shooting cartridge out there the 308 will always have a place in my heart.
-
MORE OF THIS! Nothing beats a conversation of experts! oh to be a fly on the wall for this whole series...the knowledge transferred I am sure was amazing. Thank you all for traveling and getting together for friendly competition.
-
That was great, you guys should have your own channels lol. Bloody awesome for a quick chat that amount of experience, knowledge, community support and professionalism , priceless. Seriously this should be a regular thing. Thanks mate.

Pete did a competition with a 223 and did well. I like the 223 for longer ranges it’s fun, cheap & can do it all day without fatigue and spending a lot of $
-
Woah. How in the world did you get all these guys together??? Way too cool, loved the video!!!

Piet is exactly right! What you classify as long range is dependent on the shooter! Some people think 500 yards is long range and others is 1500 yards. We are individual and we can only make that determination for ourselves. I love how Cortina talks about the 7mm-08. It is such a sweetheart and I sure have a soft spot for it in my heart! I recently had an extensive shoulder surgery and I’m only able to shoot, with my opposite shoulder, up to a .270 Winchester as for recoil impulse (thank you for you chart by the way, my doctor and I looked at it and he said that if I stay below 18 ft-lbs free recoil energy I will be safe to not loosen any anchors or the adhesive) for a full year after my shoulder surgery. So as a tribute to the 100 year anniversary of the creation for the .270 Winchester, that’s all I will be hunting with this fall and next spring bear season. Thanks for the intriguing content!

Look forward to more collabs like this, so cool to these great entertainers/educators doing videos together!
-
I have to say I think your a genius putting all these pros in one room. I love your content!!!
-
I agree... 500 yards and under 7mm-08 is my favorite. Apparently ammo companies don't agree.
-
7mm08 is my favorite for under 300. When I am hunting and I know my shot could be over that I will bring my 7 rem mag
-
I feel so validated by this. I have been saying for YEARS that 7mm is the sweet spot for LR but because 30 cal has been king for so long even getting bullets at your local shop was sometimes tough.
-
I am gonna stick with my 25-06 for now. I feel like a lot of people sleep on the 25-06. Flat shooting, less recoil,decent penetration, I just love everything about my 25-06. Not to mention that you can ethically take a wide range of game with it.
-
Thanks for putting a great group of guys together and getting a different perspective from a bunch of pros.
-
It’s great to see all you guys together . I learn from all of you .
