  • In the weeds

    My first time listening to this podcast. My first time reviewing any podcast.

    It was like shooting a lead ball from a smooth bore. It is going somewhere just not sure where. Very hard to follow.

    I hunt with hand loaded Barnes bullets. Many Cape Buffalo with the 300 TSX.

  • Great Podcast

    The Barnes guys are great to listen to. They provide a lot of detailed information about the Barnes offerings and are obviously very knowledgeable. I wish they would be more consistent with a weekly podcast instead of how it has been. Their YouTube videos were great as well but it seems their channel was taken down for some reason. Keep up the great work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is the 7mm-08 the BEST Short-Action Hunting Cartridge?
Q: Give me seven to nine minutes of why you think the 7mm-08 could be the top performing short-action hunting cartridge.
Gregg argues the 7mm-08 combines effective performance with lighter recoil and better efficiency in short actions, especially when paired with mid-weight bullets (120–150 grains) and shorter barrels, making it versatile for deer through elk and even sheep hunting when considering weight and practicality.
Ballistic Coefficient Explained: What BC Really Means for Hunters - #BallisticsBriefs
Q: What is true data/truing BC, and why should you verify BC rather than just trusting a box value?
True data and truing BC align a ballistic model with observed trajectories, but are sensitive to zero accuracy, air density, and velocity; it's important to verify with actual shooting data and conditions rather than rely solely on the stated BC value.
Ballistic Coefficient Explained: What BC Really Means for Hunters - #BallisticsBriefs
Q: Why doesn't a higher BC automatically mean better performance for all hunting or shooting applications?
A higher BC reduces velocity loss and wind drift, but it does not guarantee better accuracy or effectiveness in every scenario; application, distance, and velocity all influence whether a higher BC provides a practical advantage.
Ballistic Coefficient Explained: What BC Really Means for Hunters - #BallisticsBriefs
Q: What does BC actually mean?
BC is a measurement of how aerodynamically efficient a bullet is and how quickly it loses velocity; it helps predict velocity loss, drop, and energy across distance, and it can be compared across bullets regardless of diameter or weight, though it should be interpreted in the context of specific shooting scenarios.
Are You Using the Right Hunting Bullet? TSX vs TTSX vs LRX vs TAC-TX - #BallisticsBriefs
Q: sleeper pick for a cartridge that you wouldn't think actually outperforms itself in every one of those for a TSX, a TTSX, a LRX and a Tac-Tx.
For TSX, consider the 150 flat-nose in 30-30; for TTSX, a strong all-around choice remains the 338-225; for LRX, the 139 or 145 grain in 7mm-08 demonstrates impressive balance of BC and terminal performance; for Tac-Tx, the 90 grain 6MM variant across calibers (including 6ARC) shows strong performance due to optimized function at lower velocities. These sleeper picks illustrate that even cartridge-specific bullets can outperform expectations when matched to the gun's velocity and penetration needs.
