With some birds on the ground, Jon and Brad take a second to discuss the size of late-season Alberta honkers, before diving into the guns that brought them down. These birds are well-fed and massive, requiring a full pattern hit to take down. Luckily, Benelli's SBE 3 Advanced Impact (A.I.) provides just the sort of hard-hitting medicine to make these shots possible. Check out more of the hunt, and learn more about how A.I. keeps patterns dense and fast downrange, at the video above.

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued? Read on about this often unfairly overlooked hunting classic.
