@Beetroot broad brush stroke statements like, "All those US Youtube channels are full of shit," is not really helpful.

Recently I have been watching The Big Game Hunters Blog o YouTube. Very interesting, factual, well researched and informative. I would direct any new hunter/shooter to listen to the detailed comparisons he does on various cartridges.

Each clip starts with the history of each cartridge and rifles, then the family trees, then detailed comparisons between the ballistics, trajectory, energy, grouping etc. I have learnt a lot from watching this guy, very informative and very unbiased.

One thing John says in his talks on 6.5mm family is, "There are so many good 6.5mm cartridges, that all have very good and similar ballistics, that we are splitting hairs to say one is better than the other....."

I suggest the new guys watch The Big Game Hunters Blog, cartridge comparisons, with an open mind....

THank you Hugh many of the you tube from states are not biased and very informative -well worth a watch - so Hamish you cannot say we have not enthusiastically responded to your post if at times a little biased why not if we were all the same boring
