Flattest-Shooting Cartridges Ever
This video provides an expert analysis of the flattest-shooting rifle cartridges, challenging common perceptions with data-driven insights. The host, Jim Harmer, leverages a comprehensive database of 82 centerfire cartridges to rank them by bullet drop at 600 and 1,000 yards. He highlights the superior performance of cartridges like the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum, 26 Nosler, and 28 Nosler, while also discussing the surprising capabilities of the 22 Creedmoor. The explanation delves into the physics of external ballistics, using analogies to illustrate how bullet weight and ballistic coefficient affect trajectory at different ranges. The host also showcases his Tikka Wilderness rifle in 6.5 PRC as a practical example of a high-performing hunting rifle.
