The Shoot2hunt Podcast

[WCT3]

Range finder giving immediate correction is still mo better IMO. Say target moved 50 yards further and that adds 4 tenths to elevation. I can easily adjust 4 clicks without taking my eye out of the scope and dont need to look at the tiny #'s on my turret trying to figure where 425 yards is.

Edit: I didn't consider the point deep enough - if a hunting buddy is ranging with their nocks/RF that doesn't have your ballistics on board, that could absolutely be a good justification / use case for "shoot to" yardage marks. Might have to change my tune and add them where it makes sense..

I think your edit is exactly the use case they were describing and knowing Gunwerks marketing/customer base it would probably be the guide.

It's just too easy to dial X.X after my rangefinder tells me to, and accounts for all conditions wherever I'm at so all I ever have to do is push a button to get the solved number.

Don't you mean X.XX? Aren't you still one of those MOA heathens??

I use white electric tape and write the yardage. I range and then dial. Seems to work well for me.

My rifles shoot too fast to do quick drops. So the quick math is of no use to me.

I don’t have a fancy rangefinder that spits out the dope? That would be cool.

Bingo.

It’s where you take a magazine of loaded rounds and get them wet then shoot them to see if your “safe” load is indeed safe when they’re all wet and slippery.

Anybody know what the new 6 mm bullet is they keep hinting at?

I believe it’s a tmk around 115 grains.

No way Sierra goes 115. Maybe 107 is my bet.

Why would you say that, they do a 95 grain 22

 

[IrkedCitizen]

117gr tmk would be my bet

It’s a 117-grain TMK.

They have never done heavy-for-caliber bullets (compared to Hornady or Berger). The 95 grain TMK is 6mm.

That said, I hope I'm wrong and they break the mold.

They do a 95smk in 224... its the heaviest 224 projectile I know of.

They also so a 197smk in 7mm also the heaviest option iirc (been awhile since I looked at the 7s)

Are you aware sierra makes the DTAC for tubbs and there used to be a 117gr tipped DTAC? The mold has already been broken.

 

[swavescatter]

I guess I was referring to TMKs only since I don’t buy non-hunting projectiles. I’ve never seen a heavyweight TMK but would love to.

150grain 6.5 TMK would be awesome

I did not know that. Only familiar with their current Sierra branded stuff.

The 95 smk is proving to be pretty good as a hunting bullet for me so far. Very soft with a major cavity in the tip. Jackets very thin too. Some smks appear to have virtually no cavity but when i sectioned one i figured they were worth a try in the 22 creed since I have velocity on my side.

I havent stayed current on this thread, but am I missing something or are a few of the early episode with Form, like the drop test podcast are missing from the feed?
