Show Notes

When you hunt a wide spectrum of big game—ranging from little deer to big elk—with just one type of bullet, your average whitetail bullet may not cut the mustard. You need a premium bullet that will capable kill anything you shoot it at—and from less than ideal shot angles.

This episode details five of top choices for crossover work on big game from whitetails to elk. First we set the stage by defining the desirable characteristics of a capable big game bullet, then we discuss the specific characteristics of several premium options, including favorite calibers and weights.

  • Barnes LRX
  • Federal Terminal Ascent
  • Hornady CX
  • Nosler AccuBond
  • Swift Scirocco II
  • Honorable mention: Swift A-Frame and Nosler Partition

Finally, we wrap up with a quick list of great cartridges for shooting these bullets. This was a fun one, folks. ENJOY!
