Caliber Information - 01/08/15 09:21 PM
I've got the brand/model of deer rifle picked out but I have to make the most difficult decision.....caliber selection. I'd prefer to do my own research and draw my own conclusion instead of take someone's word for it....however what do I look at? I've been told not to look at ballistics. Is that bad advice and if so, what else is there to look at?
If ballistics is the best thing to analyze, I'm thinking the critical data would be velocity, energy, and drop with different bullets at different distances. Anything else? I can't find a chart that has recoil data alongside......
I'll dive into the bullet/ammo selection after I've chosen the caliber, hopefully that's not bass ackwards...
