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

2022/05/26

The 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Creedmoor are both very popular 6.5mm centerfire rifle cartridges. While their names are very similar, these cartridges were designed to fill very different needs and perform differently afield. With that in mind, today’s episode compares and contrasts the 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Creedmoor in order to provide some insight into which cartridge is best suited for different situations.

196: Mossberg 940 Pro Field Review

2022/05/05

Most shotgunners will probably agree that, as good as many modern semi-automatic shotguns are, it’s still really tough to compete with the reliability of a solid pump-action shotgun like the Mossberg 500 or the Remington 870. Things changed when I got the chance to hunt with the new Mossberg 940 Pro Field semi-automatic shotgun last year though. This episode is an in-depth Mossberg 940 Pro Field Review where I go over the pros and cons of the shotgun in detail so you can make an informed decision

189: 6.5 Grendel vs 308 Winchester

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

2022/03/31

Continuing down the same general line of thought from last week's comparison of the 223 vs 308, I realize some people want something that offers a step up in performance compared to the 223/5.56 without going all the way up to the 308. For that reason, a number of other cartridges have been developed over the years that improve on the 223 in many ways, but still function in a standard AR-15 platform. Well, the 6.5 Grendel is likely the most popular cartridge from that family at this instant. With
