How to Choose the Best Bullet for the Type of Game You’re Hunting with Russell Lynch of M.A.X.
There are some exceptions to these rules, just like there are to any other rules. For instance, if you’ll be shooting a black bear or a hog or a big feral hog at close range (100 yards or less), you can use a 300-grain bullet and 160 grains of powder, not loose powder, or pellets on game like that at that range and knock that bear or that hog off its feet.

For the western hunter, this extended range is often a real advantage. But for the eastern hunter, I wonder if the extended range has caused us to forget how to be effective deer hunters.

CVA’s Tony Smotherman Recommends Using a BDC Reticle on Your CVA Muzzleloader for Western Big Game
. I print-out that chart and cover it with clear packaging tape to waterproof it, and I tape that ballistic chart to my rifle stock. Having this reference on my stock enables me to range an animal and, based on the chart, know exactly where I need to aim. When I hunt in the West, I use the Leupold UltimateSlam riflescope with its BDC reticle on my CVA rifle, because I may have to take a long shot. Continue reading
