Three overrated rifle cartridges

Some calibers get way more hype than they deserve. In this video, I break down the top 3 most overrated rifle cartridges and explain why better options exist for most shooters. Watch the video above for the full list.

How to pick a cartridge that actually works for you

• Match the job: pick a cartridge for your game, distance and rifle.
• Check ammo supply and cost: a great cartridge you cannot find or afford is not a great choice.
• Consider recoil: a cartridge you can shoot well beats one with more power.
• Look at the rifle options: available rifles and optics matter.

Gear

Compare ammo at Natchez and True Shot Ammo, choose bullets from Barnes Bullets, and compare scopes at OpticsPlanet.
