“7x57mm”

Between the 7x57mm Mauser and the 7mm-08 Remington, which is the more useful cartridge for hunters? Contributor Philip Massaro compares the two and picks the winner.

These classic 7mm cartridges are both excellent designs with long histories of great field performance. What makes or breaks the deal in choosing one over the other? Contributor Philip Massaro takes closer a look at the pros and cons of each.

The .275 Rigby remains a fantastic choice for the big-game hunter, and has done it all over the course of its 130-year history.

The .257 Bob certainly has lost popularity of late, but those who still take him afield each fall quietly go about their business, accurately placing shots and taking game without destroying any more meat than is necessary.

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?

Between the .243 Winchester and the 6mm Remington, which offers the best performance for the hunter? Contributor Philip Massaro takes a closer look at what makes each cartridge tick.

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.

Just about every case shape imaginable has been modified to hold both 7mm and .30-caliber bullets, but it was gunwriter Layne Simpson who saw a gap in the lineup: there was no 7mm cartridge based on a full-length .375 H&H case. In 1979, Simpson took the excellent 8mm Remington Magnum and necked it down to hold 7mm bullets, giving his wildcat the name “Shooting Times Westerner.”
