First 5 min he calls the out the "wallop" and "energy" bs, PREACH Aaron!

It was definitely a good listen. I always thought the same as Aaron, but was told many times I didn't know what I was talking about.

If it based on gunwerks I would expect some of that science to be the most expensive bullet. Lol

Glad they are around cause they bring a lot of new people and great products to the market. But just a bit rich for my blood.

Aaron is a good guy. He doesn't disappoint in person.

Found it to be a great listen. Nice to hear about the merits of bullets and when one is likely a better choice than others.

Well, the podcast is free, and you just might be surprised....

Another good one is the Shoot to Hunt episodes with Form. And his experience with bullets over hundreds of kills dissected and wound channels comparing

Facts, seems that people who have seen a lot of animals die agree that bullet construction and placement trumps the head stamp on the case.

Aaron says that bullets kill by blood loss only. If that's the case, why would any animal fold up and drop like a stone when hit? Could be from brain or spinal hit. But some animals drop from a shot through the lungs. That sounds more like a shock effect than blood loss.

He talks about that too… it does happen but it's not the norm.

The problem with shock is sometimes the animal gets right back up. He tells a good story about that too...

Great listen for sure.

A hybrid target through the shoulder and an ELDM behind the shoulder are two of the best killing combinations I've personally seen.
