Description
Is it better to hunt with a sledgehammer? Or a scalpel? This episode explores two vastly different approaches to picking a hunting cartridge. Precision. In this approach, shot placement matters above all else. Accuracy and high ballistic coefficient are bullet priorities. Terminal performance is secondary. A low-recoiling cartridge is considered key. Authority. In this approach, a powerful cartridge with a hard-hitting bullet is paramount. Bullet frontal diameter, weight, velocity, expansion, and penetration are key. Accuracy and aerodynamics are important, but bullet performance on impact is more so. Ideal cartridges, bullets, and scenarios are proposed and discussed for both approaches. On the other hand... How 'bout the concept of one rifle and cartridge for everything? How to mate authority and precision Boost your cartridge, lower your authority, meet in the middle 6.8 Western, 7mm SAUM, .280 Ackley, 7mm Rem Mag Bullets that do it all: Barnes LRX Nosler AccuBond Federal Terminal Ascent Wrap: One man's idea of the ultimate all-around rifle ENJOY!
