More on the 6.8 Western

First of all, yes, Randy calls it the Westerner. It is his colloquialism for a cartridge he feels there is a lot of ado about not much. So, please, save the comments that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He does know that of which he speaks. And, on that note, yes, “irregardless” IS a word, though less standard form of “regardless” and has been in dictionaries since 1922. Deal with it. [The Real Gunsmith’s Wife]
Second, before content description, this video is the last one you will hear occasional groans and moans from our dear old bloodhound, Duke, who was very vocal when he changed positions. You can often hear him in the background. We had to say good-bye last month. He was, of all the hounds we’ve had, the best for keeping track of us on walks and rides in the mountains, for being compliant with all of the treatments he had to have of eyes, ears, gums, and more recently, knee repair surgery. He dealt with Canine Lupus for the last 9+ years of his nearly 11 years of life, and on our insistence he was treated more holistically than the normal protocol. Thus, he had a much longer and better life than he’d have had otherwise. He made us smile and laugh, daily, for the nearly 10 ½ years we had him. A big hole is left in our lives. In loving memory.
Randy discusses why the 6.8 Western, though bullets with high BC, is lacking due to construction, thin jacketed and with plastic tips, is not the game bullet it is hyped to be. He breaks down an article in the last #ShootingSportsRetailer magazine by Wayne Van Zwoll, who compares the 6.8 Western to two other cartridges. What was right and what was off base.
