In this episode of The Big Game Hunting Podcast, host John McAdams welcomes John Snow, Outdoor Life’s shooting editor, for his first appearance on the show. They discuss modern cartridge design and focus on how the polarizing 6.5 Creedmoor embodies many of these design principles and how those characteristics distinguish the 6.5 Creedmoor from similarly performing cartridges like the 260 Remington and 6.5x55 Swede. They also discuss John Snow’s experiences with the cutting edge 7mm Backcountry and some of the pitfalls and potential game changing benefits of that brand new design.
The big takeaway? There's a reason why cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor are so popular and effective and it's not limited just to Hornady's aggressive and effective marketing (though that certainly plays a part too).
