Is a 20-gauge or a 28-gauge powerful enough to hunt ducks or pheasants? Can you really hunt turkeys with a .410 bore? Are sub gauges able to do the job just as well as a 12-gauge? I examine the ballistics of waterfowl, pheasant, and turkey ammo across the most popular sub gauges to see how they really stack up. Yes, sub-gauges have less recoil and generally weigh less, but are they capable for the job using bismuth, steel, lead, or TSS hunting loads?

You do not need to be a gun expert to be a good or even a great hunter, but a little bit of knowledge goes a long way. On this episode I talk about the difference between caliber and cartridge as well as gauge. There may be many cartridges that use the same caliber but have very different levels of power and impact. Choosing the right catridge for your hunt can help you maximize effectiveness.
