Behind the Bullet: 10mm Auto

If you like the way a full-sized frame shoots, but want a bit more power than the .45 ACP has to offer, wrap your hands around the Big 10, and you may find the handgun experience you’ve been looking for.

Behind the Bullet: .454 Casull

.454 Casull is not a cartridge for the faint-of-heart, and will require a shooter to put in a considerable amount of time at the practice range in order to become a proficient hunter. However, once that happens, you’ll have a very effective hunting tool in your hands.

Behind the Bullet: 8x57 Mauser

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.

Behind the Bullet: .22-250 Remington

If you’re in the market for a serious coyote rifle, there are many options, but you really can’t go wrong by choosing a .22-250 Rem.

Behind the Bullet: .45 Colt

Considering that the .45 Colt has been with us for 143 years, it remains a completely relevant, powerful, and well-balanced handgun cartridge, that is equally at home at a Cowboy Action Shoot as it is in the hunting fields.

Behind the Bullet: .35 Whelen

“Only accurate rifles are interesting.” So goes the quote from Col. Townsend Whelen, and he was right.

Behind the Bullet: 9mm Luger

The 9mm Luger has a respectable resume, serving many military roles including a stint as the U.S. Armed Forces' chosen cartridge.

Behind the Bullet: 7x57mm Mauser

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

Behind the Bullet: 6.5-284 Norma

As a hunting cartridge, the 6.5-284 Norma has been touted as one of the best for game animals up to the size of elk.

Behind the Bullet: .243 Winchester

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.
