Behind the Bullet: .240 Weatherby Magnum
The .240 Weatherby Magnum is the fastest 6mm on the commercial market, exceeding the muzzle velocity of the .243 Win. and 6mm Rem. by 300 fps. If you’re the hunter who likes obscure cartridges, the .240 Wby. Mag. is a great choice for deer, pronghorn and similar-sized game.
Hardware: Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Ti
The Backcountry Ti is one of the newest additions to the Mark V line, and a welcome addition to a fairly limited field of production rifles in its class. It features a titanium action, carbon-fiber stock and a very thin profile, fluted barrel.
Behind the Bullet: .257 Roberts
The .257 Bob certainly has lost popularity of late, but those who still take him afield each fall quietly go about their business, accurately placing shots and taking game without destroying any more meat than is necessary.
Tested: Magnum Research BFR 350 Legend
Here’s a closer look at the 7.5-inch barrel, six-shot BFR chambered in the relatively new 350 Legend.
