What does it take to cleanly kill an elk? This episode, we sit down with professional western guide Colton Heward, who has seen hundreds of elk shot. Colton shares his opinion on the useful minimum energy required to kill big bulls quickly, and details the cartridges and bullets that work best. 
We also swap stories about hunting anomalies; experiences that just shouldn't happen—but did. Antelope that shrug off perfect shots, giant bull elk that drop stone dead when shot with tiny bullets, and other true but disconcerting tales. 
ENJOY!

Browning knocked my socks off with two surprise introductions at SHOT 2023!
First is an X-Bolt chambered in .270 Winchester—with a fast rifling twist rate in the barrel! You can shoot all traditional .270 ammo in it, plus handloaders can use all the modern, heavy-for-caliber, high-BC bullets. It's terrific. 
Second is a whole line of X-Bolt rifles chambered in 7mm PRC. I thought Browning wouldn't come to market with a 7mm PRC until 2024. I was wrong—and how! Long barrels, medium barrels, short suppressor-ready barrels, various stocks and finishes... pick your poison. 
This 5-minute episode with Rifle Product Manager Aaron Cummins details the new lines. Check it out! 

This brief new-product segment is a first look at Remington's new Premier Long Range ammo. This ammo is loaded with heavy-for-caliber, high-BC bullets, built by Speer, using the same molecular plating/bonding construction used in Federal's excellent Fusion bullets. 
As a result, it's a tough, deep-penetrating bullet that will open reliably at distance, and if it's anything like the Fusion bullet, will be very accurate. A composite "Slip-stream" tip and boat tail help aerodynamics. 
Please excuse the background noise and the hum of energy... It's the electrifying hum of a SHOT Show in full swing! 
Enjoy. 

Thanks to a listener's request, we're bringing the grand old .270 Winchester some love. This episode dives into how to get the best ballistic and terminal performance out of the cartridge. 
We talk rifle accuracy, factory load options and selection, handloading the .270, and some bullets that have provided top-tier performance over the years. 
This is a BONUS episode, and it's also the 2023 SHOT Show kickoff! We'll have new-product introductions and reviews in upcoming episodes—and are going to be posting short "first look" segments on www.patreon.com/backcountry.

This episode we're joined by Brandon Maddox, head man at Silencer Central and the suppressor world's leading genius. We talk rough-country hunting, and unpack the all-new 7.8-oz. titanium Banish Backcountry suppressor.
Next, Brandon gives us a "state of the ATF" address outlining the current status of the eForm system and what purchasers can expect.
For first-time buyers, we lay out how to keep it simple when buying your first suppressor, and then dig into the (relatively simple) process of traveling internationally with your suppressor. 
Naturally, the entire conversation is liberally dosed with hunting stories and experiences. 
ENJOY!
