Right Caliber, Right Purpose: A Complete Guide
Choosing the right caliber isn’t just about hype—it’s about purpose. Whether you’re building your first DIY rifle, gearing up for hunting season, or searching for the ideal home defense round, this guide breaks down what matters: power, recoil, ammo cost, and real-world use cases.
In this deep dive, we’ll explore:
• Power: how much is enough–or not enough?
• Recoil vs. control: what can you handle under pressure?
• Ammo cost and availability: can you afford to train?
• Hunting, defense, competition
• Ballistics in the field: real results, not marketing fluff
🦌 Hunters, defenders, and garage gunsmiths—this one’s for you.
