Thread: Video for Long Range Hunters...

I watched a few of his videos and gave up. He makes sweeping assumptions and then applies those assumptions in generic motherhood statements that totally ignore most hunting scenarios outside of shooting at bull elk with a 300 Weatherby Magnum.

Very little of what he has got to say about hunting bullets stands up to scrutiny outside of heavy bodied elk and moose. The "minimum energy" video is a good example - rants on for 17 minutes about how crap certain bullets are, and only at the very end does he acknowledge that his logic does not apply to deer hunting.

Sure he's got experience, but he has very narrow views that cause him to reach silly assumptions. In the "bullet technology" video, at the end he goes on another anti-EDL rant (sic)... at 900 yards in a typical 7mm Rem Mag load, the 162gr ELD-X is likely to be impacting below the Hornady stated expansion threshold of 1800fps. We don't know what cartridge was used, but the question of whether the example was outside the manufacturer's design limitations of the bullet is not even raised. Rant rant rant, rubbish bullet blah blah blah, oh but it broke the neck and killed the animal.

You won't teach that old dog any new tricks, he's not interested in hearing about them.
