The question of bullet choice comes up daily in various forms. In this Ask Aaron episode, Aaron breaks down the 3 primary bullet types used in modern long range hunting, the strengths and weaknesses for different applications of each. We discuss terminal ballistics and the behavior each bullet type typically exhibits to do their jobs vastly different, but usually effective. We discuss "bullet failures" vs peoples' expectations of bullet behavior and how it almost always boils down to shot placement.
