Building My First Bolt Action Hunting Rifle It's a Dandy

Today's vlog we are looking at building my first ever bolt action hunting rifle. Tyler: Make sure you only shoot for groups instead of zeroing. Find the best bullet then zero the scope. When you get into longer ranges make sure to try and lay down with tour feet laying down to the ground and have as little amount of your hand on the rifle. I do a ton of long range shooting/hunting so those are things that definitely help.

The first guns my wife ever shot, the first guns she ever even touched were a Suppressed MP5 and full-Auto MAC 11, also Suppressed.
She enjoyed shooting them both, but I can't help but think that every gun after will be a step down in regards to the experience she has.

Hey Justin! Ive tested a lot of types of ammo in my 308 and 300wsm but my favorites are Federal Premium with Berger Hybrid bullets and Hornady precision hunter ELDX. But as you know every rifle is different and you should experiment with multiple brands.

Try Hornady, light recoil 127 grain loads plenty of power for deer and hogs, a lot easier on the shoulder but avoid the military. 308 ( 7. 62X51) ammo as your tight tolerances will cause the brass to swell making removal of fired cases difficult.

Hey LFG, I got the same stock on a build. I got the ruger predator 6. 5 in the magpul stock, magpul bipod, got the vortex viper pst gen 1 scope on top. Went with a muzzlebrake I never heard of. Pegasus tanker. shoots really really soft

I always had a poi shift down with my can. I would zero with it because 98% of the time I shoot suppressed. Plus federal match Ammo is kind of crappy. I would choose a couple different loads and you will see a tighter group.

As for the bullet reference, I have done very well with Nozler Partition and Hornady ballistic tips. They do very well on elk and muley's. I also reload my own rounds. If you would like to learn it's not very difficult.

I shoot a. 308 for hunting as well. Started off using Hornady Superformance SST 150gr. Now I shoot Hornady Black 155gr. Much better grouping and performance but it all depends on the shooter and gun

Hey lfg, when it comes to a 308, the sweet spot for almost any rifle chambered in 308, a 168 grain bullet tends to shoot the best dont ask why but 2 of my rifles shoot best with that grain bullet

With a rifle like that you should really put time into load development. Find the perfect load for that rifle. Takes time and isn't as cheap as box ammo but it will be worth it.
