While we've talked in pretty general terms about bullets and ammunition in these past few episodes, today we're going to dive into more detail on the subject. Specifically, we're joined by Joseph von Benedikt in this episode and he's going to share his thoughts on some of the best bullets for hunting elk. As you'll learn here shortly, it's a pretty big jump moving up from deer and pronghorn to elk. They're bigger, tougher, and elk hunts just simply often require a whole lot more out of a bullet than deer hunts.
