Ever wonder how to pick just the right bullet to hunt with? This episode's for you. We take a deep dive into bullet construction and sectional density, and detail the performance of four different fundamental bullet types:

  1. Bullets for deer-size game
  2. Bullets for elk- to moose-size game
  3. Bullets for dangerous game
  4. Bullets for pachyderms and for tracking wounded dangerous game

Plus we explain:

  • Sectional density
  • How bullets mushroom (the mechanics)
  • Temporary vs. permanent wound channels
  • Energy as applied to terminal performance
  • How bullets kill:
    • Loss of blood
    • Loss of nervous-system function
    • Compromised vital organs

Before concluding, we suggest several different favorite bullet types, and wrap all the technical "bullet nerd" info into a simple, useful formula for picking the right hunting bullet for your task. ENJOY!
