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.

  • Look at the rifle options: available rifles and optics matter.
