This week, we're taking a look at the Nosler M48 Mountain Carbon in 27 Nosler. While this is not the first time we've taken a look at this distinctive bolt-action, it is the first time we've seen it chambered in this cartridge. A .277-sized projectile with enough powder to make it a big-game standout, this round seems almost built for the rifle—in fact, maybe it was. For more information on this exceptional rifle-round combination, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Editor-in-Chief Scott Olmsted, and Digital Associate Editor David Herman.

But the offspring of that cartridge—as well as those cartridges which were “highly inspired” by the .404 Jeffery—have gotten much more of the spotlight than the .404 ever did.
