Hunting Shot Placement

This video discusses the effectiveness of the 10mm Auto cartridge for self-defense against large predators encountered in the woods of Tennessee, such as black bears, mountain lions, and bobcats. The speaker emphasizes that a 10mm is sufficient to stop threats on two or four legs and highlights the importance of shot placement, suggesting that a single 10mm round is likely to be decisive.

This video provides an expert-level overview of the top 5 deadliest revolver calibers, detailing their ballistic performance, typical applications, and recoil characteristics. It highlights the .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .480 Ruger, .454 Casull, and .500 S&W Magnum, emphasizing their effectiveness for hunting large game and self-defense against dangerous predators, while also noting their significant recoil and the need for experienced shooters.

Geoff Nemnich discusses his choice of the .22 ARC cartridge for coyote hunting as an upgrade from the .223 Remington. He highlights the .22 ARC's superior ballistics, increased muzzle velocity, and enhanced downrange performance. Nemnich also praises the terminal performance of Hornady's ELD-VT ammunition, noting its impressive expansion and devastating effect on coyotes, even at extended ranges.

This guide details a practical ballistic comparison between .300 Blackout and 5.56 NATO, utilizing a LabRadar for empirical data collection. The Gun Dungeon Host, demonstrating high authority and expertise in handloading and ballistic measurement, provides a data-driven analysis relevant for hunters seeking optimal performance within specific engagement distances. The comparison highlights the significant energy advantage of .300 Blackout for hunting applications requiring a minimum energy threshold.

This video explores the terminal ballistics of Open Tip Match (OTM) rounds, often referred to as Match Kings, particularly in hunting scenarios. The instructor emphasizes that despite the 'open tip,' these rounds are not designed for expansion like hollow points but rather for accuracy and consistency due to their high ballistic coefficient. The video stresses that effective use, especially on game, relies heavily on precise shot placement rather than relying on bullet expansion, drawing on personal hunting experiences in Africa.

This video showcases the Gunwerks experience from the perspective of a long-term customer, Matt Carrey. It highlights the brand's commitment to functional design, meticulous manufacturing processes using CAD, and attention to hunter-specific needs, including their in-house reloading capabilities for calibers like the .375 H&H Mag. The emphasis is on quality and thoughtful engineering over mere aesthetics.

This guide details the advanced technique for executing a long-range elk hunt, as demonstrated by a 12-year-old hunter under expert supervision. It emphasizes precise range estimation, scope adjustment using ballistic turrets, and marksmanship fundamentals for a successful shot at extreme distances (1376 yards). The process highlights the importance of preparation, practice, and specialized equipment for challenging hunting scenarios.

This expert guide from Gunwerks demonstrates the significant impact of the Coriolis effect on long-range bullet trajectory. Jeremy Winters, a Gunwerks Product Specialist, explains how Earth's rotation can shift Point of Impact (POI) by over 1 MOA at 1000 yards when shooting East or West. The video provides a live-fire demonstration and recommends shooting North or South to collect accurate ballistic data, minimizing Coriolis-induced errors.

This guide details the process of transforming a factory Remington Model 700 Sendero into a more capable long-range rifle, as demonstrated by Mike Davidson from Gunwerks. Key steps include a trigger upgrade to a 2-pound pull and a precision bedding job using Devcon Aluminum Putty to ensure action stability. The process emphasizes proper disassembly, careful application of bedding materials, and correct reassembly with specific torque values for action screws.

This video demonstrates a professional long-range coyote hunt in Montana, showcasing the effective use of a Gunwerks rifle. Dustin Butler, a representative for Gunwerks, highlights the 'range, dial, and kill' method for successful predator engagement at various distances, from close encounters to over 500 yards. The guide emphasizes proficiency with long-range optics and equipment for accurate shots in challenging terrain.
