It’s so cool seeing most of my favourite gun UKposts 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.

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.

. 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. 😁

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.

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!!!

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.

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!

While it might not be fancy or the flattest shooting cartridge out there the 308 will always have a place in my heart.

It’s great to see all you guys together . I learn from all of you .

You guys are a blast to watch . And it's good to see you get together in all forms of shooting . Not just one type . Brings a lot of points together in one place . And have fun doing it .

Thanks for putting a great group of guys together and getting a different perspective from a bunch of pros.

I agree... 500 yards and under 7mm-08 is my favorite. Apparently ammo companies don't agree.

Excellent perspectives. Keep making these videos!

great bunch of guys talking smart choices and why love the late reference to hunting with the 7.08 in shorter ranges, low barrel life, cost of ammo massive issue but can be required for distance

Man it's so cool to see all you guys in one video

Let's not forget the old 264 win mag

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 $

What a great buncha guys! Its great seeing yall together. You may not realize it, but you've become like family to all of us

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.

Such a fun discussion

You guys all together was awsome.. enjoy all these videos

Woah. How in the world did you get all these guys together??? Way too cool, loved the video!!!

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.

I'm loving these meet up videos!

loved this!! Agree on the 7mm! i have been shooting a 7mm Remington that my father bought new in 1962! Fantastic gun. I am waiting on a barrel from Preferred Barrels to arrive chambered in 7PRC so the bulid can start!!

Excellent to hear 100s of years of experience and perspective plus all the mutual respect of opinions. A case can be for 22lr as its use as a long range tool to practice or introducing this discipline is invaluable. The nos of high end bolts rigs in the same dollar category of even elite centerfire rigs shows alone it has merrit for a favorite in LR shooting.

Great to see Peiter doing videos with this channel.

The reflection in the tv is crazy. The setups look incredible. Nice work on this one.

Nice , look foward to other videos from the collaboration competition!

300 wsm is my fav for long range. Extremely accurate, easy to load for, can see your misses, good barrel life etc.

Great guys here and thanks for the valuable insights. Good Stuff! 😎👍👍🇺🇸

Man that was a cool surprise video 👏🏼 it was cool to see Pete in there, I learned so much from his videos when I got into rifle shooting and getting past that 400 yard mark. I do have to agree with Whoteewho! I love my 7Rem that thing is a delight to shoot out to range. Excellent on caribou moose and bear too 👌🏼 Excellent video👍🏼

Great video. Love the different perspectives!

Wow that was amazing so much knowledge in on room. Love that every one have different wait to see what could be the best ammo for the situation

Great video, loved every minute of it

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 love my 270 for hunting but if I had to switch it would probably be the 7mm-08. They are both phenomenal on anything in Texas out to 400 yards. I like the 223 in hornady frontier 75g bthp they do well and the 6.5 grendal is becoming a favorite on hogs.

Up until eight years ago I was in a 1000 yard club, and the most popular cartridge was the .284 win, it has enough power to easily go the distance and is not a bad barrel burner. I used that in light gun competitions and the weatherby 300 for my heavy gun. In spite of the weatherby having a lot more powder, it did not go through barrels much quicker than the .284 win. I found the 7mm magnums very severe on barrels. I love the high BC projectiles with the 7mms, I have used the 7mm rem mag, but living in a warm climate, during summer, the barrel gets too hot. If I start shooting again I might try a 280 Ackley with the light gun and return to the 300 weatherby as the heavy or the 300 Norma which I have used. The beauty of a .30 mag is that it will handle the high BC bergers of the 215 grain variety. I was getting a similar barrel life with the 30 cal mags as I was getting out of the 7mm win and the 30 cal mags were far more durable than any 7mm mag that I have shot.

So cool man! Me and my family have been evacuated because of wildfire. All of rock chuck content is very welcome, I kind of have nothing else to do and if all my stuff is going to burn... I'll rewatch this video for a shopping list.

2 of my favorite Content Creators in 1 video! Backfire & WhoTeeWho. Great upload!

Great video! Nice to see my favorite folks altogether! My choice 6 creed because readily available. For mags, 7mm Remington! Thanks for all the good food for thought!

What a great collection of knowledge. Great video.

Awesome vid. Great to see the "community" gather up and agree that long range is diff per person/intent. Thank you.

Gavin saying "LEKKER" at the end! 🤣 Fantastic!!!

The 340 Weatherby is also Great, essentially the 338 is my favorite caliber and living in Alaska half of time it’s been always the caliber for the North country

Cool vid. I'm surprised no one mentioned the 6 MM ARC. I know the .30-06 isn't mentioned with the best cartridges but it's my fav.

That's an awesome group of guys right there!

Good to see all you guys in the same video. Adam is a trip. I like the fact that he reviews and uses "regular" rifles easily available to the average shooter. My personal favorite out to 800 or so yards is the 7MM Remington Magnum. I'm sure my 3 would easily shoot a thousand but my home range is 800 yards so that's where my loads and dope are set up. PS.. I have recently acquired a 300 Winchester Magnum that has yet to be tested or even fired. I have high hope's for that build.

Piet knows his LR stuff. Excellent point about the larger calibre and bullet strike

Great content as always!

I had a smile on my face the whole video watching theese guys talk about cartridges.

Love you guys coming together nice talk on what and why they shoot.😊 Erik my go too guy along with Whooiehoo

Really cool seeing yall together.... its a reminder that community is important. I am sub'd to most of these guys

That was a wide range of perspective and a fun conversation. I'm not a long range shooter I've never hunted beyond 300 yards and for me I like 7 mm too I'm trying to decide between building a 7mm O8 for the 280 Remington AI. I think the 7 mm '08 is probably more than enough for 99% of what I'm going to do but the 1% of me thinks what if I need just that little bit more and I want that 280 AI? Kind of going back and forth on that I know they're both great. Thank you 👍

I love how 6.5 cartridges travel. Whether it's Grendel, Creed, Swede, or PRC, I have a knack for them. My favorite do-all AR is chambered in Grendel.

First time catching this group of guys together look forward to more

Also, having been a .308 fan for some time, my new favorite for all hunting is my 7 mm PRC. But WTW has some skills and some good points with the 7 Mag. I have seen more than one elk brought down with the 7 RM. Good point that the 7 PRC shines the best at 1,000. Not many deer at that distance but I have seem some elk at that distance with a 7 RM.

Interesting viewpoint on 7 mm. I’ve been shooting a 280 Ackley Improved since the early 90s and have had but stellar results from it. It’s accurate and from my rifle’s 24 inch barrel, it gets the same velocities as were posted here for the 7 mm mag. It uses less powder, though, and recoil is not bad at all, even from a light hunting gun.

I really appreciate how informative your videos are. I just got my first rifle, a side gate Henry 30-30. It appears I could have chosen a better deer hunting rifle, just a new hunter looking for advice! 😊

Loved the video 👍

Oh yeah, the 7's. I shoot a 26" Douglas barrel #5 contour 7stw blue printed rem700 action hs precision stock, factory trig tuned to 30 Oz pull. Love it.

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

223, 7mag and 308 are more accessible when it comes to purchasing the components to reload. Personally that needs to be factored in when picking a long range shooter. I think 500 yards in 308. 7 Mag for 100 to 1000. And I am talking about hunting big game. For plinking 223 is my go to.

Thank you, Nils; for your perspective. I shoot 600 yds with my 5.56/223 Ruger RPR and love it. I use 68, 69 75 & 77 grains for 600. 55 and 62 for 200-300. I can shoot way more for less money and have just as much fun if not more fun. I also shoot 22lr Ruger RPR at 200 yards and love it. I am lucky my local range has 50, 100, 200, 300 & 600-yard ranges.

The more I look for a ‘do-it-all’ that can shoot long range target, elk within 300, and low recoil for the wife 6.5PRC keeps standing out. Love the discussion guys.

Cool to see, you all there Priceless

I love this!

This was really cool video. Some calibers I haven't seen and good info! My CVA single shot 223/556 bull barrel is so accurate and fun to shoot and consistent at 250 to 500 yards with a Walmart Tasco scope. Here in East Texas 75 to 100 yards is a normal shot for open sight 30-30. Past 150 is considered a long shot for Piney Woods. But wild hogs are jumpy and smart and gotta sneak up on them. That CVA is a one shot kill rifle and I love it. I do have a Savage Creedmore that I enjoy and my 308 Remington is awesome but my single shot 223 is my all time favorite.

Love my 7mm rum and .300 rum both amazing cartridges

Jim, Now THAT's great stuff!

I'm glad 7-08 got an honorable mention, realistically the best whitetail Cartridge in the USA, no matter what, in the thick woods or the plains of the west it packs a punch, has great BC compared to its big brother.308, and still very inexpensive if you're looking in the right place.

I enjoyed the video with all the different opinions.

7mm, the projectile that the almighty laid his hand upon and proclaimed "It is good"😁

Hard to go wrong with a 7mm. You can get match or hunting bullets anywhere from 120-197gr, push them at whatever velocity you want depending on cartridge, and good B.C and SD's which will buck wind and give you a flat shooting round.

My favorite is the 6.5cm. I know people hate it but it does do well up to 1k and it's affordable and available. My other favorite is the 300 prc and I agree on the 6 dasher. Awesome round.

Best response was, "what is long range"? I agree that it depends MORE on the range someone is shooting. Is it 400 yards or 1000+. No point in shooting a hot 7mil PRC at only 300 yards if 300 yards is your absolute MAX. My theory is, there is no ONE best. Buy different rifles for different task.

Yes Eric. I love my 7mm-08 for about 400 and in.

That was great. Thanks guys

I agree with WTW none of the guns you guys chose a cartridge that you can get at most random gun stores. I think that most people would rather no what your choice would be in something more common and something you can actually find in gun stores and find ammo for because we all don’t have time or the knowledge to reload. But the fact that everyone was for 7mm is interesting

Who Tee Who is the only one that remotely had a reasonable answer for us hunters! Love that guy, down to earth. I wanted to hear an answer from Jim as well. But I guess the question wasn't just about long range hunting although that's what most of us are trying to figure out. I have a 7mm mag but struggle to get it to consistently shoot MOA and am considering one of the more accurate modern PRC / creedmoor cartridges that are easier to shoot accurately.

Great group of guys, follow all there channels 😊

Nice to see al you guys together like this. I would choose the 300 PRC for that long shot ( 338 Lapua too but rounds are spendy) Been watching Who tee who for a long time.. I had no idea he was that tall!

thanks for still posting on youtube

who tee who is spot on. he thinks about the average person and hunter. good show

I shot silhouette using a special-order 26” Browning 7mm REM Mag, @ 6,000 ft altitude on the Izaak Walton gun club range, Colorado Springs, 1981 & 1982. Four of our team purchased the same Browning after shooting mine. Previously, they all shot .30 cal variants. We were ahead of the times with regards to higher BCs & wind immunity. Our team scores increased dramatically AND the 7mm REM Mags were NOT fussy with reloading. I hunted elk each year using the same rifle. This is how we arrive at prejudices we’re still carrying…

I see WHO-D-Who,, Great group of experts,, Great job pulling them together

300 RUM is my long range rifle

I have 3 favorites. 1. Encore 15" bull barrel pistol in 7mm-08. 2. 6.8 Western. 3. .300 WinMag.

How did I know that not a single one of them would choose the venerable 30-06 which all of the other cartridges are a derivative of. It's the grandfather of them all and it still works. Bonus you can find it everywhere and hunt damn near any game with it.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I got out so long ago I didn’t even know about the 7prcw. But I have a 6.5 prc now and kinda figured that 7 prc mite really make some progress but facts don’t lie that 30-32” don’t like much more than about the 2900’s. No matter the how you push that 180-190. Sometimes that fast short node doesn’t mean it’ll walk away from that wider second/slower 97-98% node. That 7prcw does seem like a “smooth square consistent” good idea.

Agreed on all comments the boys made… none were wrong. None were right. Just good information. 👍 on the entire rco(rock chuck Olympics)! Awesome stuff !

Odd that the original 270 Winchester that shoots easily shoots to 1250 meters supersonic with old bullets and 1550 with newer high bc Berger's is neglected!

7 rem mag, been shooting it for about 15 yrs, cant beat it, manageable recoil with the 139's and 140's, which is what i shoot, My rem CDL loves the Federal 140 Trophy Bonded!

Piet raised a very important point on the term "what is long range shooting?". He is 100% correct in his view of being calibre specific. We all can grab a .30-06 and shoot at target at 100 yards and hit it 5/5, but not any person will hit that same target with a .22LR more than 3/5. The point Piet makes is that your core principles of shooting "long range" will apply equally with a .22LR at 100 yards as it would at 1000 yards with a 7 PRC. The elements will be exactly the same, e.g. wind drift, bullet drop, kinetic energy down range, ect. I will add to his point by saying it also applies to purpose specific as well, because what is considered long range on the shooting range is not equal to what is in a hunting scenario, which Adam rightfully pointed out as well. Shooting at paper and steel at a 1000 yards is one thing, but taking a shot at an animal at that same distance is not ethical by any means nor should it be advocated for. Dr. Kevin Robertson, a best selling author, registered PH in Zimbabwe for more than 30 years and a specialist in buffalo hunting summed it up beautifully. Anything beyond 320 yards is not hunting, that's killing at distance. It's about using your abilities against the animal in his/ her own environment to get as close as possible to take the animal as ethically as possible. Thigs like reliable bullet expansion, bullet penetration, bullet momentum / speed and kinetic energy comes into play here. So well done to Piet and Adam for raising these points. Currie Cup stuff, boy'tjie!! 🏆

Cool video with a lot of info

7mm mag just is hard to argue with. It just works

Thank you Eric Cortina for the 284 Mention to me the best case ever built and is has been used for 50 years or more for wildcating... 6mm,6.5,7mm take your pick.....
