Richard discusses the origins of the 25 Creedmoor, some of his experiences shooting and hunting with it back when it was a wildcat cartridge, why he thinks it's the perfect "Triple Threat" cartridge for varmint hunting, big game hunting, and competition shooting, and what the cartridge offers compared to rest of the Creedmoor family as well as other 25 caliber cartridges.

• 387: Best Cartridge for Hunting Darn Near Anything With Larry Weishuhn

  Larry Weishuhn (aka Mr. Whitetail) is back on the show and we discuss a subject I know you’ll enjoy: our favorite cartridges for hunting virtually any species of big game. We’re play little game where Larry and I each list our favorite cartridge and bullet for hunting specific species of game ranging from coues whitetail all the way up to thick skinned species of African game like cape buffalo and elephant and almost everything in between like mule deer, elk, black bear, etc. The catch is we cannot reuse a cartridge for multiple species. Even so, our discussion provides an interesting glimpse into the thought process he and I each use for selecting cartridges and bullets for hunting different species of game.
