Listen to the last episode:
Gnarly questions make us dig deep for good answers... In this episode, we unpack a bunch of awesome questions and stories from listeners, including the following:
- .308 Win. vs. 6.5 RPM for elk
- .475 Turnbull and 9.3x62 for Cape Buffalo
- 6mm ARC as a deer cartridge
- Short vs. long barrels on .308
- Handloads for 20" 7mm PRC barrels
- Is .280 Rem. to .280 Ackley conversion worth the squeeze?
- Characteristics of Weatherby 307 Alpine CT
- Do bonded bullets kill faster than monometals?
- .338 ARC for moose
- Precision vs. power: The ethics of hunting big game with small cartridges
