“6mm remington”

Few cartridges, in the history of modern firearms, have influenced our shooting world as much as the 7x57mm Mauser.

Coyote hunting is a great late-season activity, and if you’ve ever seen a live deer, with its hocks and haunches bloodied and half-eaten, you’ll have little issue in pursuing these creatures to the ends of the earth. Let’s take a look at Phil Massaro's personal top five choices for a coyote cartridge, in no particular order.

Old is not dead, and though the 8x57 has had to endure vast improvements in cartridge design, powder development and bullet performance, it remains a perfectly viable hunting cartridge.

While there are many cartridges that can handle medium-sized game, the .243 Winchester sits at the top of the heap for good reasons: it’s accurate, easy on the shoulder and delivers enough energy for the task at hand.

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?
