2022/12/22

It’s time for another cartridge comparison and today's episode compares the 5.56 NATO/223 Remington, 300 Blackout, and 308 Winchester cartridges. While all three are very popular with modern sporting rifles, the cartridges represent three distinct ways of thinking: smaller, lighter, and faster for the .223/5.56 vs bigger, heavier, and slower for the .308 vs a middle of the road compromise with the .300 Blackout. As you can imagine, this is definitely a case where each is better suited to certain

230: 243 vs 270 Winchester Cartridge Comparison

Big Game Hunting Podcast - Hunting Africa, North... ·

2022/12/01

It’s time for another cartridge comparison and today's episode compares the 243 Winchester and 270 Winchester cartridges. As is the case with the 7mm-08 and 270, there’s some overlap in the capabilities and best uses of the 243 and 270. However, the gap between 243 and 270 is much bigger than is the case with the 7mm-08 and the 270 and this is definitely a case where each is better suited to certain tasks. Well, that’s what we’re going to talk about in this episode where I investigate the 243 vs 270

I’ve got another cartridge comparison for you today: the 7mm-08 Remington vs the 270 Winchester. Both are popular and effective centerfire rifle cartridges with dedicated fan bases, but important details about their performance unfortunately get overlooked or simply lost in the shuffle. In fact, despite their big differences in outward appearance, the two cartridges are almost shockingly similar in performance in some areas. Even so, there’s some important differences to keep in mind and each is
