“222 remington”

Though the .223 Remington has stolen the limelight—military adopted cartridges tend to do that after all—we owe a debt of gratitude to Mike Walker and his development. Without the .222, there would be no .223.

Get a closer look at the Sauer 100 Classic XT, the latest addition to our #SundayGunday series.

We’re all familiar with the abundance of .223 ammunition available, and you should have read a story or two over the years about the accuracy potential of the .22-250, but from a hunter’s standpoint, which one comes out on top?

Undoubtedly one of our nation’s favorite cartridges, the .223 Remington is capable of hair-splitting accuracy in a properly built rifle, has enough velocity for a respectable trajectory, and with the heavier bullets with a higher BC, can resist wind deflection rather well.

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.

Let’s take a look at the .17 Hornet and .17 Remington and compare and contrast their attributes.

Both cartridges are easy on the ears and have minimal recoil, yet are effective for any of the smaller species for which they are suited. Which is the better choice for the hunter? Contributor Philip Massaro examines the pros and cons of each.

Between the .22-250 Remington and the .204 Ruger, which is the better choice for the hunter in the market for a cartridge capable of handling shots varying from bobcats in thick timber to coyotes across windy, open fields? Contributor Philip Massaro examines the pros and cons of each.

The .41 Rem. Mag. suffers from the lost-middle-child syndrome; it lives in the shadow of the both the .357 and the .44 magnums. But it deserves far better than that. Here's why.
