This episode discusses the types of bullets best for use on western big game inside 400 yards.

Terminal performance challenges of various shot angles are explored, bullets that "dump all their energy inside" are myth-busted, controlled-expansion vs. rapid-expansion projectiles are discussed. 

Philosophy and ethics of close-range vs. long-range hunting and shooting skills are brought under scrutiny, and used to help determine appropriate bullets. The importance of skill-building practice is emphasized, whether a hunter wants to stalk close with a longbow or shoot far with a modern precision rifle. 

Plus, this episode has a sneak peak at a southern border-country desert mule deer hunt... 

ENJOY!
