Johnston's Top 10 Cartridges

We had to draw a line somewhere, but trust us, it wasn't easy.

Leica Rangemaster CRF 1200

My day pack in Africa always contains a rangefinder, and having played with most of the major brands, I’ve finally found one I like.

Winchester Power Max Bonded

Winchester’s affordable new ammo features a bonded bullet that exhibits 2.5-times expansion—perfect for deer.

No other hunting destination on earth sees as many fatalities and injuries as Africa. Read the details of some of the Dark Continent's most vicious encounters.

Federal Premium Vital-Shok

Handgun hunters looking for a bullet capable of deep penetration and effective expansion have a new option in Federal Premium's Vital-Shok.

CCI Quiet-22

CCI's new Quiet-22 is supposed to produce 75 percent less noise than standard velocity .22 LR cartridges. Bryce Towsley put that claim to the test.

First Look: 26 Nosler

Nosler’s very first proprietary cartridge is bound to get the attention of long-range shooters.

Much has been written on the ideal distance to zero a hunting rifle. There is no best sight-in range for everyone, because the range at which hunters expect to shoot their quarry differs considerably. There is one technique, however, that should allow you to hold your crosshairs on the vitals of deer-sized game and keep the bullet inside the vital zone out to 280 yards—and Jeff Johnston's ready to share it with you.

Federal's Big-Game Tactic

Federal Premium's new Trophy Copper was what got the job done for John Zent on his latest B.C. goat hunt. See what he had to say about the Federal ammunition line here.
