The in-flight and on-game performance that Winchester's Expedition Big Game and Expedition Big Game Long Range cartridges promise is too good to ignore.

The .35 Whelen and the 9.3x62mm Mauser have cases within a millimeter in length and a bullet diameter just a few thousandths apart, so which cartridge would a hunter choose?

These cartridges represent two of the earliest modern developments in .25 caliber, and both are perfect for deer- and antelope-sized game, but which has the ultimate advantage?

Among the selection of cartridges that will handle larger North American big game, these two have undoubtedly risen to the top, yet there are many who fervently choose one over the other. We took a closer look at each to determine which has the ultimate advantage.

Seeking the best load for your .17 HMR? We put six to the test to ease your decision-making process.

The 7mm-08 Remington is hands-down the perfect whitetail cartridge. Here’s why.

Released in 1980, the 7mm-08 Remington would go on to be considered not only an excellent target cartridge, but one of the best deer cartridges ever conceived, and the gamut of 7mm bullets available make it extremely flexible.

Hunters who enjoy using cartridges that aren’t among the most popular should consider a rifle chambered in .358 Norma Magnum. It’s a flat shooter—mimicking the trajectory of a .30-06 with heavier bullets—and is a fully capable all-around choice.

Both cartridges are easy to shoot, can be housed in lightweight, easy-to-carry rifles and neither require a long barrel length to get the best performance. Which is the smarter choice for the modern hunter? Contributor Philip Massaro examines the pros and cons of each.
