Description
Are hotrod .22 centerfire cartridges adequate for hunting big game? In this episode Seth Swerczek from Hornady joins us to discuss the small-caliber for big-game trend. Recently returned from a safari in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, Seth details what worked—and what didn't—while using the .22 ARC and .22 Creedmoor on African game ranging from warthogs to kudu. The results may surprise you.
We also take a deep dive into the usefulness of hotrod .22 centerfires for use on North American big game, and discuss what and where practical limitations lie.
Seth talks through the bullets most useful for hunting with such cartridges, and details the differences between the .22 Creedmoor and the .22 ARC to help hunters make an informed choice.
This was a fun one, folks. ENJOY!
