On multiple occasions people have complained about comparisons of cartridges using ballistic data, claiming they are boring and/or uninformative. For those complainers, naysayers and whiners, I have a simple question:

Without ballistic information, how do you determine the suitability of a cartridge for your needs?


No using ballistic table data of any kind, whether from calculators, reloading books or manufacturers.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
