Shotshells 101

A solid understanding of shotshells will make you a better hunter. Here’s a detailed look at each of the five primary components.

First Look: Hornady Reloading App

Hornady has compiled the information from their well-known Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading, and made it available as an app on both the Apple and Android stores.

Head to Head: .35 Whelen vs. 9.3x62mm Mauser

The .35 Whelen and the 9.3x62mm Mauser have cases within a millimeter in length and a bullet diameter just a few thousandths apart, so which cartridge would a hunter choose?

Review: Traditions Outfitter G2

Accurate, reliable and comfortable to shoot, the new Outfitter G2 break-action single-shot cartridge rifle from Traditions is just pure fun at a budget-friendly price.

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.

Barrett Announces New .416 Ammo

Barrett has announced its new match grade .416 Barrett ammo, which according to the company, has a much higher ballistic coefficient than its previous .416 bullet.

Behind the Bullet: 7mm Remington Magnum

Remington’s 7mm Mag. came on the scene and won the hearts of many hunters looking to use a bullet of less than .30 caliber, and quickly overtook the .264 Win. Mag., forcing it into near-obscurity. And, in spite of the myriad attempts to produce a 7mm Mag. that will better the performance of the Remington version, it still maintains its seat at the head of table.

Behind the Bullet: .280 Remington

If you’re in the market for a rifle that will cover the bases and cover them well, you could do an awful lot worse than a .280 Remington. If you shoot .280 Rem., you are already in the know.

Behind the Bullet: .300 Winchester Magnum

You’ll see the .300 Win. Mag. in the hands of military snipers and big game hunters alike, with good reason: It just plain works.

An Ode to the .223 Remington

It's time to sing a few more praises for .223 Remington, undoubtedly one of our nation's favorite rifle cartridges.
