If you’ve ever spent any time in a deer camp, you know that the virtues of certain hunting cartridges are hotly debated among serious big-game hunters. Modern shooters have access to hundreds of capable cartridges, and every big game hunter is convinced that the one he uses is the absolute best.
Because hunters are awfully opinionated, this article won’t completely settle this age-old argument. What it will do is outline the best big-game cartridges in current production, so you can make an informed decision about which one will work best for you.
In this podcast, Chris and Dave discuss their top 10 best big game hunting cartridges for taking down anything between whitetail deer and moose. These are the heavy hitters that can really deliver the kinetic energy to safely and humanely put down big game with a single shot. Most of these cartridges are not for beginners, but will serve you well on your next hunt with the proper practice.

Many big game hunters and long range shooters have battled over which rifle cartridge to buy for their next hunting rifle. More often than not, the 338 Lapua Magnum and 308 Winchester come up in the discussion.
So, if you like long range shooting, and I really mean LONG range, then itÂ’s high time we pulled the trigger on these two sniper rifle staples.
Although the general consensus from most hunters is "Just buy a 308", there are some times where the 338 Lapua Magnum is an effective choice for cartridge selection. Certain African big game hunts require the high penetration and kinetic energy that the 338 offers, while the 308 is simply not enough. Cape Buffalo, Elephant, and rhinos are some of the African big game that would be appropriate for the 338.
However, if you aren't going on African safari, is a 338 Lapua needed? If you want it, then go for it, but most shooters lack the skills, training, and range to practice with such a monster of a cartridge.
Although there's not much cooler than traipsing into your local shooting match with a 338 Lapua Magnum in your cart, most shooters don't need the added costs and training needed to handle such a round when a 308 can do the job just fine. For 90+% of our listeners, the 308 will be enough bullet for you. But for those few percentages that truly need more, then the 338 is ready to make short work of your long range targets.

7mm-08 vs .308 is an interesting cartridge comparison for long range shooters. If you are looking for a great cartridge for your next hunting rifle, then you need not look further than the 308 Winchester and the 7mm-08 Remington. One was forged for battle, and the other was designed with long range shooting in mind.
Is one cartridge superior to the other? When it comes to this caliber comparison, we are essentially splitting hairs between these two rifle cartridges.
However, the 7mm-08 Remington and the 308 Winchester are both potent hunting and long-range shooting cartridges and we will take a look at the history, ballistics, and defining characteristics of both.
Remington loves their wildcat cartridges and the 7mm-08 does not disappoint. Although superior to the 308 in terms of ballistics, is it really enough? Does a 7mm bullet with its added penetration really facilitate the need to ditch the tried and true 308 for a new rifle.
Many hunters swear by the 7mm-08 and will not hear a word about any other cartridge. Though this feels a bit like confirmation bias to me as the 308 has been a force to be reckoned with in the hunting community since its release.
In our Ammo Guides Podcast, Chris and Dave take a deep dive on the 7mm-08 vs 308 debate and give you their thoughts on these two excellent hunting cartridges.

6.5 Creedmoor vs 308: Is 6.5 Creedmoor Better than 308?
For $20 off your next ammo purchase, go to https://ammo.com/youtube (a special deal for our viewers)!
When it comes to long range shooting, two calibers that cannot be ignored are the 6.5 Creedmoor and the venerable 308 Winchester.
Although the 308 Winchester (7.62 NATO) has been a staple in the long-range target shooting community since its inception over 60 years ago, the 6.5 Creedmoor simply outperforms the 308 Winchester in almost every category when shooting out past 500 yards.
The 6.5 Creedmoor was the brainchild of legendary rifle competitor Dennis DeMille and the chief ballistician at Hornady Ammunition, Dave Emary. After having issues with the wildcat 6XC cartridge in competition, DeMille came up with a wish list of characteristics he wanted in a long-range cartridge and Emary delivered the 6.5 Creedmoor.
The 6.5 Creedmoor is named after the legendary Creedmoor range in New York where the first National Matches were held.
Although not an immediate success, the 6.5 Creedmoor has be quickly gaining a following in the long range shooting community and USSOCOM is considering the round for its snipers.

7.62x39 vs 308: Which Is The Best 30-Caliber For You?
For $20 off your next ammo purchase, go to https://ammo.com/youtube (a special deal for our viewers)!
When it comes to the scholarly debate about the iconic rifle cartridges of the Cold War, the 7.62x51mm NATO (308 Winchester) and the 7.62x39 Soviet are always omnipresent in the discussion. One became a staple NATO round and the most prevalent big game hunting cartridge in North America, while the other became a symbol of pure, unadulterated ruggedness and dependability.
Both are excellent cartridges and will serve you faithfully, but which is the better choice will depend mostly on your intended purpose.
The 7.62x39 is a Russian designed cartridge that is most famously chambered in the AK-47. Having seen conflict on multiple continents, the 7.62x39 has cemented its legacy as one of the most innovative intermediate rifle cartridges of the 20th century. It is extremely popular today in the AK-47 and SKS platforms and has seen some integration into the AR-15 as well. Hunting with 7.62x39 has become more popular as well since the terminal ballistics of the round are similar to that of the 30-30.
The 308 Winchester is America's 30-caliber cartridge. Developed after the Korean War, the 308 Win draws its lineage from the 30-06 Springfield that carried us through two World Wars and Korea. Although the 308 Winchester closely mimics the ballistics of the 30-06, it was quickly discovered that the 308 was too big for a frontline battle cartridge and was eventually replaced by the 223 Remington/5.56 NATO. However, the 308 still remains one of the quintessential long range cartridges and has won multiple shooting matches and is one of the most versatile hunting cartridges available on the market today.

When it comes to the debate about what the best big game hunting cartridge is, the 270 Winchester and 308 Winchester are always in the middle of the discussion. Both the 270 Win and the 308 Win offer exceptional long range ballistic performance and have claimed countless game animals across North America and the world for decades.
These spectacular hunting rounds have a track record about a mile long, but which one is going to be better for bagging that trophy whitetail, mule deer, or pronghorn antelope this hunting season?
In this caliber comparison, we are going to break down the history, ballistics, and pros/cons of each cartridge to help you understand whether you should purchase a 308 Win or a 270 Win for your new hunting rifle.
The 308 Winchester is America's long range cartridge and has served in the military, law enforcement, and hunters for decades. It is a strong, short action cartridge that captures the terminal ballistics of the 30-06 Springfield into a smaller cartridge. Although it is falling out of favor in the long range shooting community, the 308 Win is still a formidable hunting cartridge that will not go away anytime soon.
The 270 Winchester is one of those calibers that you don't think of when you start comparing hunting cartridges. However, thanks to Field & Stream author Jack O'Connor, the 270 Win has become much more prevalent in hunting circles. O'Connor took the 270 on safari in Africa and was extremely successful with it, despite it being smaller than a 308 Win or 30-06. The 270 Winchester takes a page from the Mauser playbook and utilizes a smaller, more aerodynamic projectile moving at a higher muzzle velocity to increase penetration and terminal ballistics.
Both rounds are incredibly capable, but which one is best? Watch the video and find out!

When it comes to picking a handgun cartridge for your carry gun or for home defense, you canÂ’t go wrong with the 40 Smith & Wesson (S&W) or the 45 ACP.
Both cartridges have faithfully served shooters for decades. The 45 ACP cut its teeth in the trenches of WWI and served the U.S. Military faithfully all the way through Vietnam. On the other hand, the 40 S&W was baptized by fire in the concrete jungle by law enforcement officers (LEO), the FBI, and CCW permit holders starting in the 90Â’s all the way up to the present day.
However, many shooters find themselves in a dilemma when they decide to purchase a new semi-auto pistol: Which one is better? 40 S&W or 45 ACP?
There's a lot of hype and myth surrounding both of these handgun cartridges. The 45 ACP served the US military for many years with its counterpart, the 1911, while the 40 S&W was born out of necessity for a more powerful handgun round for law enforcement officers (LEOs).
In this ammo comparison, Chris and Dave will separate fact from fiction as they discuss the pros and cons of America's cartridge, the 45 ACP, and the compromise caliber, the 40 S&W.

The .308 Winchester (.308 Win) and 5.56 NATO rounds are two of the most popular centerfire rifle cartridges in the United States and across North America. Both cartridges are battle-proven and currently in service with the U.S. Military and its NATO allies.
The 308 vs 556 debate has been raging between civilian marksmen, law enforcement, and military shooters for well over 60 years and it is unlikely that we will be able to crown a victor in the context of this video.
However, when selecting a caliber for your new firearm, it's always a good practice to understand the ins and outs of each so you can make the best selection for you.
5.56 NATO is one of the most prevalent centerfire cartridges in the US as it is the primary chambering for the AR-15 sporting rifle. The 5.56 (or 223 Rem) replaced the 308 as the United States' primary battle cartridge during Vietnam, and despite some teething issues, is still standard issue for all GI's. The M16 and M4 have proven themselves time and time again as a capable front line battle rifle.
308 Winchester (or 308 Win) has made quite the name for itself in hunting and precision rifle circles. Being the de facto replacement for the stalwart 30-06 Springfield has cemented itself as an incredibly capable rifle cartridge with some big shoes to fill. However, the 308 has proven itself time and time again in the woods, in competition, and on the streets.
Both rounds are extremely accurate, reliable, and powerful. But which is going to work best for you? In our brand new series here on the channel, Dave and Chris will compare and contrast these two classic military and civilian cartridges so you know which is best for your next rifle or handgun.
