  • .35 Whelen vs 9.3x62: Best "Little Big Gun," with John McAdams

    .35 Whelen vs 9.3x62: Best "Little Big Gun," with John McAdams
    May 2 2025

    Mid-bore cartridges kill nearly as profoundly as true big-bores, but recoil little more than common magnums. Of the mild big-bores, the .35 Whelen and 9.3x62 Mauser dominate. But which is best? In this episode John McAdams, host of the Big Game Hunting Podcast and a lifelong fan of the 9x3x62, joins me to discuss and debate the merits of the two. We dig deep into tech specs, tell personal buffalo and elephant hunting stories, debate best bullets for each cartridge, and generaly have a ton of fun. ENJOY!

  • .25 CREEDMOOR: Best Quarter-Bore Cartridge of Them All?

    .25 CREEDMOOR: Best Quarter-Bore Cartridge of Them All?
    Apr 25 2025

    Big news, folks! Hornady just officially launched the .25 Creedmoor cartridge. And there's a good chance that the Quarter-Bore Creedmoor is the best Creedmoor of them all.

    This episode takes a deep dive into the tech specs of the .25 Creedmoor and how the cartridge was designed, and details new factory loads on the market. We discuss what long-range bullets are best in it, and what rifles makers are already spun up and making .25 Creedmoor guns.

    We compare the .25 Creedmoor to the 6.5 Creedmoor, discuss what attributes may make the .25 Creedmoor superior, and draw ballistic comparisons between the .25 and the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridges.

    Then, to contrast what the .25 Creedmoor is really capable of, we compare it to the .25-06. The ballistic differences may shock you—and to our surprise profoundly favor one over the other. You'll have to listen to find out which.

    ENJOY!

Always on point

This is a fantastic podcast without a bunch of shilling products they are sponsored by. JvB has a great way of telling a story or making a comparison make sense. I truly enjoy listening to these on the road.
