3 Rifle Cartridges to Hunt the World

From varmints to African dangerous game, contributor Philip Massaro takes a closer look at three groups of cartridges that cover the entire spectrum.

Black Death, Bad-Breath Close

Hunting with a handgun forces you to get close. But when pursuing Cape buffalo, how close is too close? Your life may depend on knowing the answer.

Behind the Bullet: 8mm Remington Magnum

Based on the full-length .375 H&H belted case, the 8mm Rem. Mag. was the first commercial 8mm magnum cartridge to be introduced by an American firm, using bullet weights between 125 and 220 grains.

Reduced-Recoil Loads

Shoot more comfortably with these reduced-recoil loads from four ammo makers.

Trophy Bonded Bear Claw Family

Traditional bullets made for deer hunting don’t always cut it when shooting bigger game.

Kimber 8400 Standard

Kimber engineers let function dictate form when they designed the 8400 bolt-action rifle; everything follows performance, beauty is inherent in its design.
