Expert Bullet and Rifle Tips with John McAdams

Show Notes:

John McAdams is the host of the Big Game Hunting Podcast and he’s here to share some stories and his wealth of hunting knowledge. John grew up in East Texas and joined the Army right out of high school, which then took him all over the country. He gained a ton of hunting experience in the different states where he’s lived, and he also caught the bug to go hunting in Africa. 

On John’s podcast, you’ll hear a lot about his trips to Africa as well as his perspectives on hunting across the U.S. He also covers cartridge profiles, comparisons and bullet performance. We kick our conversation off with a discussion on the best bullets and cartridges to use and we talk about a client I took out hunting and discussed in a past episode. We also talk about shot placement and how different animals handle getting taken down.

John and I chat about long range shooting, the difference in expansion and how that can impact your results. For hunters on a budget, John shares his recommendation for the one cartridge and rifle you should have in your collection. We also talk about how to choose the right bullets and projectiles and your best options for shooting in windy conditions.
