Modern vs. Classic Cartridges for Hunting

Feb 17, 2023

What's all the froth and fervor over modern cartridges? Should we really discard the old tried-and-true classics? Sometimes, perhaps. Often, absolutely not. 

This episode takes a deep dive into the pros & cons of modern, cutting-edge cartridges versus classic, proven cartridges. 

We discuss:

• Cutting-edge bullets
• Ammo availability
• Proven terminal performance vs. prototype projectiles
• What happens if the airline loses your ammo
• Modern chamber & cartridge case design
• Ballistic advantages
• Efficiency & accuracy
• Recoil, barrel life, & downrange authority
• Wide-open country vs. big timber hunting
• Rifle availability & selection
• Survivor mentality & appropriate cartridges
• Handloading components & resources
• Turn-key solutions to cutting-edge performance

This was a fun one... ENJOY!
