Head to Head

I’ve had more than a few requests for this Head to Head, so I figured it was high time to pit two of the early 20^th century’s most popular military cartridges against one another. Let's dive into the 7x57mm Mauser vs. the .30-06 Springfield.

We recently ran a battle between the two newest 7mms—7mm PRC vs. 7mm Backcountry. In the comments, we noticed quite a few folks having an entirely different debate about two older stalwarts—7mm Rem. Mag. vs. 7mm STW. Read on to find out which of these classic cartridges comes out on top.

The 27 Nosler and 6.8 Western both use the .277-inch diameter bullets made so popular by the venerable .270 Winchester, yet at faster twist rates with heavier projectiles than the old man can handle. We pit these two against one another and see which of the young upstarts comes out on top.

The .243 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor short-action cartridges are both very efficient and manageable, but which is the better choice for a hunter? We take a closer look at the pros and cons of each.
