04 Mar Big Bore Bullet Construction
The first thing a hunter should consider when hunting large or dangerous big game is cartridge
caliber and bullet construction. Matching the right cartridge and bullet will enhance the hunting experience and help avoid a potentially dangerous confrontation with certain types of big game. Big-bore firearms generally give an
advantage to hunters of tough big game. Their frontal area is larger than medium or small bores and transfers energy more efficiently to the target animal. Big-bores are .400” in diameter or greater. Medium bores range from .300” to .399” and small bores are .299” and
smaller. There is some overlap in these ranges, but these are generally accepted figures.
