[QUOTE="FrogFire7, post: 2256235, member: 101482"] I thought it was well done. The guy wasn't laying out an actual specific cartridge as the flattest ever, he was saying (as we ALL do when the classic "What's the best cartridge for long range" question pops up) that ultimately you should pick something with a high BC and heavy bullet for long range. He also clearly showed it is range dependent, and said that you should pick the right bullet and cartridge for your application. The video was geared toward people who aren't ballistic nuts, like most of us are. Let's face it, MOST of the media on the internet related to guns is geared towards keyboard commandos who think guns are cool but realistically have little experience. Especially media with click bait like titles such as "The Flattest Shooting Cartridge Ever". I guarantee I could put a video with a title like that on YouTube today and it would start grinding out clicks/likes just based off the title. I thought he did a good job laying out basic ballistics, and gave an answer very, very similar to what everyone here would give if somebody posed the same question to our forum. Literally nothing he said made my head spin... but again, I'm more in the "ballistic nut" category already 🙂 [/QUOTE]
