Does anyone find a bull barrel to be practical for hunting? I personally like a heavier rifle, but is the weight a drawback, and does the added accuracy really help? I'm sure if your shooting elk or mountain goats at 500 yards every advantage helps, but is it that much of an advantage? I usually just start with an accurate rifle and fine tune the little things.
I'm asking just so anyone thinking of buying a fat pipe for their gun has some idea of whether its necessary or not.
I've got a ballistic calc on my phone tied into gps for weather conditions elevation wind and temp. All I have to do is judge distance and calibrate it to my ammo. It even reads my angle.
I also advocate learning the basics of breathing and good rifle posture and holding.
How far does a shot have to be for you to feel you need a bull barrel.
