Testing America's Most Popular Hunting Caliber | THE NIGHT STALKER

When you said the most popular caliber for hunting I automatically thought 30-06

Rifle hunting isnot my thing, hasnt been for awhile. Once i discoveed bow hunting i was hooked. 6.5 needsmore is not what i would choose if i had to, i would still go for the ole 7mm rem mag

👍👍

Barnes Bullets, exactly how their supposed to work

.243 is the most popular hunting round in the US

I think I’d still rather get hit by that than that most powerful 12ga slug, that sucker blows a 3” wound channel through ya. But 00 is really nasty too, 15 9mm rounds at once.

We were shooting V Max and getting 3458 as 3 bullet average with fastest coming in at 3517

Very nice setup !

I’ve been watching for years man, stopping by to say I appreciate all your hard work and dedication. You have fantastic videos. Thank you for all the videos up to now and all the future videos you’re planning!

Once again 30ft away from the target what do you think is going to happen.

140g ain't no joke.

Great video young man. Always entertaining and informative!🎉

Not a fan of the manbun cartridge, but still a great video 👍

What the fuck is wrong with you? The 6.5 Creedmore is not the world’s most popular hunting rifle caliber. That still belongs to the 30-06 Springfield and 308 Winchester. That rifle looks like an abomination. And a muzzle break on a 6.5 Creedmore rifle? Who wants that trash on their rifle? I know I sure don't!. There is no way I would ever consider taking that thing hunting for anything!

I know PRC rounds aren't meant for hunting per se, but if I wanted to do 75% long distance (though < 1km) shooting and 25% hunting (smaller than Elk), wouldn't 6.5PRC be a better round? I know it's got more recoil, but it shoots flatter than anything I've seen that isn't 7PRC / 6.8 Western / 300PRC. 147gr isn't exactly a huge bullet, but if you look at the bullet drop charts, 6.5PRC is in a class above - and its recoil, while not as manageable as 6.5CM, is still below the 270, 7mm and 30-06. It's not like you're gonna be on your butt missing a follow-up shot.
I'm just really happy seeing the prices on 6.5CM coming down still. Popularity has its benefits!

Just because every man bun wearing yuppy drags a 6.5 Creedmooh to the range to kill paper and tell everyone about it does not make it the most popular hunting cartridge by a long shot ( pun intended ) . The one great thing about that cartridge is the marketing.

The king of "that's what she said" 😂😂😂😂
Love the videos

The fmj is too unpredictable to assume it will tumble and perform the same with every shot. I just think it is irresponsible and promotes poor selection of ammunition for hunting purposes. Will it result in a kill if the bullet is placed in the vitals? Sure. Most likely, however, there is also a higher chance that the animal will run further before succumbing to its wounds, experiencing more suffering needlessly, and possibly not being recovered by the hunter. I have always given every one of your videos a 👍 but this one gets a 👎 for promoting poor ethics for hunting situations. Other than that, the video was good.

Needmore isn't even close to the most popular hunting round....I used to like this channel

White tail hunters are some of those cringy hunters in North America.

When you are ready to step up from manbun territory, theres the 6.5 PRC. We are loading 129s at 3250 fps and thats not even max powder charge.

Did you see the polymer tip got left in the coconut on that last shot!?

I call bullshit on most popular hunting round.
The gayest hunting round is more like it.
Its made for sooks

Flat as F and loads of energy. I can marine if doing great on big game!

Good video enjoyed you using the coconut and ballistic jell. Bravo Zulu

Damn was developed by Hornady and Creedmor sports as a target cartridge. So most popular hunting cartridge? Nah. It’s the 270 or 06 by a mile. 308 and 243 are both good arguments as well

Most states it’s illegal to hunt with fmj bullets

No

Thanks buddy..,

Gotta be honest - Don't like the dog being targeted...

6.5 crapmore...

That's a sweet rifle I'd like to have one in.308

95gr 6.5 vs body armor when? better if they make a FMJ

Too many options out there. Hey i just like the recoil. But when it comes time for survival etc. Whatever is the best for the type of situations i would use. If its a good round then ok.

Fired low to the right

6.5 Creed is a good round. And very trendy. But I highly doubt it's the most popular hunting round. Maybe if you only include 2024 manufacturing numbers, but even then I doubt it. And to do that you have to ignore over a century of 30-06, over a century of 30-30, a century of 270 and more than 60 years of 308. And thermal? When in most states you can't hunt after sunset, except maybe racoon and possum which they let you spotlight. Yes, yes, Texas, and Texas is one state.

.270

You should try and 100gr Barnes ttsx.. unreal !!

Don't like or dislike the 6.5. But damn the Woox furniture on the rifle is awesome.

Great video!!

From what I’ve seen 6.5 doesn’t go great at close range as it just zips through like a laser. At range it seems to get to expand and do its proper damage.

The first round is black because the temporary wound cavity collapsed so fast it ignited the air in the cavity.

1/2” concrete tile is a very analogous to bones.

I'd like to see you try all three grain weights of the Fort Scott Munitions 6.5 Creedmoor TUI rounds. They make a 123gr, 130gr, and 140gr. My Browning Hells Canyon loved the 130gr.

Can we get a 7mm 08 and a 7 win mag ?

.308 Winchester
