Behind the Bullet: .41 Remington Magnum

The .41 Rem. Mag. suffers from the lost-middle-child syndrome; it lives in the shadow of the both the .357 and the .44 magnums. But it deserves far better than that. Here's why.

Behind the Bullet: .300 Remington Ultra Magnum

If you like having the biggest, largest and fastest of the .300 Magnums, the .300 RUM is certainly among the top of the heap. While not as efficient or cuddly as some of the milder cartridges, it will certainly put an exclamation point on the end of your hunting sentence.

Behind the Bullet: 6.5 Creedmoor

The 6.5 Creedmoor makes for an excellent hunting cartridge for almost all game south of elk and moose. There’s something to be said for a short, efficient case for someone who shoots often and at high volumes, and the 6.5 Creedmoor is definitely that.

Behind the Bullet: .30-06 Springfield

While the .30-06 Springfield has been a father to many successful cartridges, it remains the cartridge by which all others are measured.

Opinion: Why I Hate the .270

Contributor Bryce M. Towsley explains why his quest to find love for the .270 has gone unfulfilled.

Behind the Bullet: .25-06 Remington

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.

Behind the Bullet: .300 H&H Magnum

To the hunter looking for something different—something classic, cool and yet effective—the .300 Holland & Holland is an excellent choice.

Behind the Bullet: .45-70 Government

The .45-70 Government represents an era of American firearm development that is most certainly romantic and charismatic. However, the usefulness of the design is what has allowed it to see its way from the 19th century through the 21st century.

Behind the Bullet: .257 Weatherby Magnum

If you’re a fan of the quarter-bores, the .257 Weatherby Magnum will perform above and beyond what you’d normally expect from this bore diameter.

Behind the Bullet: 9.3x62mm Mauser

If you’re looking for a rifle of larger diameter than your deer gun, which will complement the 7mms and .30s well, the 9.3x62mm Mauser should be a definite contender.
