“monometal bullets”

Hornady’s GMX is among the best monometal bullets on the market, and while the company has included them in their loaded ammunition lines before, the new Outfitter series is designed around the GMX exclusively. Known for its deep penetration, good expansion and high weight retention, the GMX makes an excellent choice for the big-game hunter.

Winchester has revamped its monometal performer in the new Copper Impact ammunition line, expanding the game-taking ability of its tried and tested Copper Extreme Point bullet introduced in 2018. No matter your quarry, you won’t be disappointed with its performance.

Based on the successes of the other proprietary bullets from Norma—the semi-bonded Oryx and the Kalahari—I’d be willing to bet the TipStrike and EcoStrike will make a lot of believers in the near future.

The idea of a bullet lacking lead core is a relatively new one, yet it’s a sound design. Here are five of the finest monometal expanding bullets currently on the market.

The right bullet loaded in the right big-bore handgun can deliver the news to even the biggest game with just as much authority as a rifle.

There’s no denying that the .270 has been getting the job done for over 90 years, with very few complaints.

Between the .458 Win. Mag and the .458 Lott, which is the better choice for a prospective big-game hunter? Contributor Philip Massaro takes a closer look at what makes each cartridge tick.

In the hands of a competent rifleman, the .260 Remington is just as effective as it was on the day it was released over two decades ago, and will continue to be for decades to come.

If you’re in the market for a cartridge that will do double duty in both the hunting fields and on the target range, with a bit more horsepower than the Creedmoor provides, the 6.5 PRC is worth a hard look.
