Randy shows us his latest rifle build for one of his clients, chambered in 257 Roberts with a hand-carved maple stock. The stock on this rifle was featured in an earlier video where Randy spends a half hour or so demonstrating how he shapes the blank into a rifle stock which you can see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkMIVn8xU6g Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/therealgunsmith Find us on Vimeo: https://www.vimeo.com/therealgunsmith Find us on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ygmGv_v4h0E

Randy talks about necessary energy to ethically harvest game including, ballistic coefficient, bullet construction, shot placement and distance of the shot especially on larger game such as elk. Recently more importance is given to the BC of the bullet instead of its construction and ability to perform properly at the distance you intend to shoot at. You don't hear very many people talking about energy anymore, one of the most important factors with proper bullet performance.

The recent cold snap that covered most of North America last week brought reflections of the winter of 1962 for both Randy and Cathy. Though living at opposite corners of Wyoming, both remember the long cold spell, temps of -56° and more, and what it took to cope. From Cathy: This filming myself is HARD, Randy makes it look easy. I don’t know if I use my hands that much in “real life or not!” Also, I raze my sister Barb, at one point, but she truly is very smart, I just don’t want her to get a big head.

Is the 7mm PRC cartridge the ideal 7mm? Randy dispels the hype. Randy tells why the claims are overblown. Please don’t cherry pick. Listen to the entire video, so you understand where he is coming from. Randy mentions information from Hornady’s own site about how BC’s are variable and not consistent and this needs to be factored into any of the information. The Ballistic Coefficient Before discussing this topic in more detail, let's dispel some myths surrounding it. Whatever you may have heard before, these are the facts: • There is no such thing as an absolute and invariable ballistic coefficient (B. C.) • Ballistic coefficients are only one factor in bullet selection for different kinds of shooting. • A ballistic coefficient can change with reference to (1) altitude, (2) temperature, (3) atmospheric pressure, and (4) relative humidity. • Ballistic coefficients are measures of a bullet's relative efficiency. • Ballistic coefficients are not measures of a bullet's "goodness." • Higher B.C.s do not necessarily make a bullet "better." • Lower B.C.s do not necessarily make a bullet "worse." Link was too long to post in description: https://www.hornady.com/team-hornady/ballistic-calculators/ballistic-resources/external-ballistics#/:~:text=Its%20ballistic%20coefficient%20is%201.050.%20The%20standard%20projectile,Army%20Ballistic%20Research%20Laboratories,%20Aberdeen%20Proving%20Ground,%20Maryland.

With a lifetime of experience building guns and hunting game, it's not hard for Randy to tell what really goes on with these long range hunting videos that self-proclaimed expert gun builders, with no formal training in gun building or long range shooting have been producing to promote the long range hunting "capabilities" of the insanely expensive rifle systems that they build. Though they are often successful at killing animals at long distances, what they will never show on camera are the missed shots, the wounded game that got away, or the disabled animals from shots that are taken too far for the bullet to work properly to humanely kill. And then they have to put the animal out of its misery at 50 yards before they show the trophy and boost their egos in front of the camera. Just to sell the rifle they promote that it’s supposedly capable of killing at 1000+ yards straight from the company. Randy also has received first hand eye witness accounts from people who have witnessed these so called hunters shooting long distance at game which require multiple shots, sometimes up to a whole box of ammo, to kill or disable an animal at extreme long range, taking sometimes up to an hour to anchor an animal and in many instances having to put the animal down after finally making it over to discover it is still alive. The videos they produce are doctored and will never show what really happens on these long range hunts. This is wrong and it has to stop! Just because you have an overly expensive gun that can shoot a bullet over a mile doesn't mean the equipment or the shooter is capable of killing game at long range! This has been and continues to be dishonest marketing to sell product.

Randy goes over a bit of progression of the 7MM and the different 7MM performances, how they relate to each other in performance and desirability for big game hunting. Are the new calibers better than the first 7MM’s?
