#SundayGunday: Hornady CX Bullets

This video demonstrates how different types of Hornady 150-grain ammunition (American Whitetail, Outfitter CX, and Superformance) affect accuracy and point of impact in a .308 rifle. It highlights the importance of selecting ammunition based on game type and testing it thoroughly to ensure proper zero, noting significant point of impact shifts due to velocity and bullet design differences.

This video demonstrates a ballistic gel test designed to evaluate the effectiveness of different rifle cartridges and bullet types in hunting scenarios. By simulating obstructions like 'punch' and 'bone' and measuring penetration and wound channel characteristics, the experiment aims to prove that cartridge choice significantly impacts terminal ballistics, contradicting the notion that 'caliber doesn't matter'. The findings highlight differences in performance between calibers like the .243 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, .270 Winchester, 7 PRC, and .300 Win Mag.
