I’m Hunting Bigfoot with this….

This video advises against stockpiling large caliber hunting rifle ammunition, citing low annual usage rates for most hunters. The speaker suggests focusing stockpiling efforts on ammunition for primary carry weapons, backup carry guns, defensive rifles, and shotguns. For hunting ammunition, a maximum of 100 rounds is recommended, with most individuals using far fewer.

This video explores various rifle calibers and styles for long-distance hunting and preparedness, with a focus on practical application. The instructor, Yoki Sturrup, compares calibers like .30-06, .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7.62x39mm, and 5.56 NATO, evaluating their muzzle velocities, effective ranges for different game sizes, and felt recoil. She emphasizes the importance of rifle action type (bolt-action vs. semi-auto) and shooting position in achieving accuracy and managing heavier recoil, ultimately concluding that a bolt-action rifle chambered in .30-06 is her preferred choice for hunting scenarios.

The video discusses the continued relevance of the 30-06 Springfield cartridge for hunting. While acknowledging newer cartridges, the speaker asserts that 30-06 remains highly effective for most North American big game, including moose and grizzly bears, with appropriate bullet selection. The discussion highlights that while newer rounds may offer marginal ballistic advantages, the 30-06's versatility and proven performance make it a 'king' in many hunting scenarios.

This video demonstrates how different types of Hornady 150-grain ammunition (American Whitetail, Outfitter CX, and Superformance) affect accuracy and point of impact in a .308 rifle. It highlights the importance of selecting ammunition based on game type and testing it thoroughly to ensure proper zero, noting significant point of impact shifts due to velocity and bullet design differences.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of backcountry hunting cartridges, focusing on calibers suitable for Western United States big game. The speaker, with high authority based on field experience and data-driven comparisons, breaks down the pros and cons of various popular rounds from 6mm up to .30 caliber, offering specific ballistic data and practical advice for hunters. Key takeaways include the 7 PRC's modern efficiency and the trade-offs between popularity, performance, and ammunition availability for different calibers.

This video discusses five firearms recommended for hunting Bigfoot, emphasizing the need for iron sights and large calibers due to the perceived fleeting nature of encounters. The presenter, while not a believer in Bigfoot, offers practical firearm choices based on reliability, accuracy, and stopping power for large game. A camera recommendation is also included for documenting potential sightings.

This video demonstrates the severe dangers of using smokeless powder in a muzzleloader designed for black powder, resulting in a catastrophic barrel explosion. The speaker, identified as a manufacturer representative, uses a remote firing rig to safely showcase the consequences of this common but deadly mistake. The footage highlights the importance of understanding powder types and pressure differences to prevent dangerous malfunctions.

This video presents an accuracy comparison between a traditional flintlock rifle and a modern sporting rifle at 100 yards. The host, demonstrating high expertise and safe firearm handling, loads and fires both rifles, utilizing Hornady Match .308 ammunition and Goex Black Powder. The comparison highlights the practical differences in loading times and aims to determine which platform achieves superior accuracy under these conditions.

This expert guide details the catastrophic failure modes of muzzleloaders, as demonstrated by Thompson/Center Arms' engineering team. It covers the dangers of double loading, double powder charges, and critically, the use of smokeless powder, which led to a barrel explosion. The video emphasizes safety and understanding pressure limits in muzzleloading firearms.

This guide, presented by an expert from Thompson/Center Arms, focuses on three critical shooting mistakes and their solutions. It covers achieving a Natural Point of Aim (NPOA) for stability, mastering trigger control to overcome target panic, and the benefits of shooting with both eyes open for improved awareness. The instruction emphasizes fundamental techniques for becoming a better marksman.
