“new cartridges”

Newly formed Norma-USA is bringing top-shelf performance to American hunters at a very competitive price.

Norma cartridge cases are known worldwide for superior quality, and now they're going to be readily available to American handloaders.

One hundred four years after it was designed, the venerable .416 Bore made famous on the game fields of Africa is again being made in London on a genuine Mauser Magnum action.

In this, its 150th year in business, the history of Winchester firearms is well known. After all, “The gun that won the west” was a Winchester, the Model 1873. The Winchester Model 70 is known as the “Rifleman’s Rifle” and the Model 1894 is perhaps the most successful sporting rifle in history. The company also shook up the scattergun market with classic shotguns like the Model 1897, Model 21 and Model 12. The raw truth, however, is that none of these guns could have made their mark in history without ammo to shoot out of them. It’s kind of the red-headed stepchild in terms of glory and glamor, but Winchester has been in the ammo business as long as they have been in the gun business.

New hunting rounds come and go, but some manage to stand the test of time. Here’s a look at five cartridges that are simply too good to go away.

For 2017, Hornady has decided to expand its Precision Hunter line of ammunition to include five new cartridges.

Charles Newton and A.O. Neider had a great idea when they mated the .25 caliber bullets with an ’06 case. Over a century after its introduction, hunters are still taking the .25-06 Remington afield to fill their freezers and feed their families.
