Best Rifles, Cartridges, & Bullets for Close-Range Hunting

Backcountry Hunting Podcast - A podcast by Joseph von Benedikt - Fridays

What makes a capable rifle/cartridge/bullet setup for close-range hunting? This episode takes a deep dive into the best of the type, including lever-actions, pump-actions, bolt-actions, semiautos, and even single shots, along with ideal cartridges and top-performing bullet types.  We address whether brush-busting bullets are actually a thing, and the visible on-impact effect of blunt-nose bullets up close versus pointed bullets.  From shot angles to blood trails to fast follow-up shots, this episode has it all... ENJOY!    FRIENDS!
