Inside 8.6 Blackout: Q, LLC & The Launch of Barnes Factory Ammunition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The team from Q, LLC joins the podcast at our Mona, Utah facility for a deep dive into 8.6 Blackout. We break down the radical engineering behind 1:3 and 1:6 fast-twist rates, the rotational physics that turn subsonics into lethal energy, and the push to get 8.6 BLK SAAMI standardized. Plus, we explore why solid copper monolithic bullets are custom-built for high-RPM stability and officially unveil the new line of Barnes Factory 8.6 BLK Ammunition.
The Ultimate Top 5 Elk Hunting Cartridges Debate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of the Barnes Bullets podcast, Dale sits down with Gregg and Mitchell for an unfiltered breakdown of their Top 5 Elk Hunting Cartridges. With decades of western hunting experience between them, the crew steps away from keyboard-warrior theories to discuss what actually works when heavy bone, thick muscle, and extended distances are on the line. Whether you lean toward classic, time-tested calibers or modern, fast-twist magnums, the guys break down the real-world terminal physics,
Small Caliber Cartridges for Big Game: How Small Is Too Small? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How small is too small for big game? The trend is everywhere right now—hunters taking increasingly smaller cartridges after increasingly larger animals. .22 Creedmoor for moose. .22 ARC and other small-caliber cartridges for elk, bears, and big game. And depending on who you ask, the answer is either: “Shot placement is everything.” …or… “There’s no replacement for bullet weight, diameter, and horsepower.” In this episode of Ballistics Briefs by Barnes, Dale and Gregg jump directly into one of t
Episode 39 - What’s in Our Packs for Western Big Game: 3 Hunters, 3 Systems (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Are you packing too heavy, or leaving crucial gear behind? In this gear-focused episode of the Barnes Bullets Podcast, Dale is joined by Gregg & Mitchell, to dump their packs on the table to break down exactly what they carry into the woods for the upcoming hunting season. Because no two western big game hunts are the same, we’re showcasing three completely distinct pack systems: The Backcountry Grind: Dale breaks down his 50lb+ pack built to sustain a hunter for 5-7 days off the grid—the exact
Ballistic Coefficient Explained: What BC Really Means for Hunters - #BallisticsBriefs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Ballistics Briefs by Barnes , Dale puts Mitchell on the clock to break down one of the most misunderstood measurements in shooting and hunting. They explain how ballistic coefficient relates to aerodynamic drag, retained velocity, wind drift and bullet drop—and why chasing the highest BC number can lead shooters toward the wrong projectile for their rifle or hunting application. A high-BC bullet may retain velocity and resist wind more efficiently, but ballistic coefficient is
