“.240 weatherby”

Weatherby’s newest Mark V Camilla bolt-action rifle is built from the ground up with female hunters in mind.

How does the 6mm Creedmoor stack up against the renowned .243 Winchester? Contributor Philip Massaro examines the pros and cons of each.

Weatherby’s flagship rifle is now available in two new versions built specifically with backcountry hunters in mind.

The .240 Weatherby Magnum is the fastest 6mm on the commercial market, exceeding the muzzle velocity of the .243 Win. and 6mm Rem. by 300 fps. If you’re the hunter who likes obscure cartridges, the .240 Wby. Mag. is a great choice for deer, pronghorn and similar-sized game.

If you want something a bit unique with a definite cool factor, give the .280 Ackley Improved a long look.

The .22 Hornet was the first commercial high-velocity centerfire cartridge designed for varmints, predators and small-game animals, driving a 45-grain bullet to just about 2650 fps. And with a wide selection of factory ammunition, your rifle will remain well-fed.

The .204 Ruger occupies the space between the .22 centerfires and the .17s, giving fantastic results on varmints and predators alike without the wind deflection issues of the .17s and less recoil than the .22 centerfires.

Introduced in 1956, the .458 Winchester Magnum offered the ballistic formula of the .450 NE in a bolt-action, affordable rifle.

Driving a 40-grain bullet at a muzzle velocity of between 1875 and 1910 fps, if you desire to pursue furbearers and varmints at ranges beyond what the .22 LR can handle, the .22 WMR is your cartridge.
