“short-action”

Another year has come and gone. While the eggnog settles and the Christmas tree continues to burn bright, here at American Hunter that can mean only one thing: it's time for our top five #SundayGundays of 2023. Read on for what racked up the most views, clicks and comments this year.

Federal Ammunition has added the 360 Buckhammer cartridge to its Power-Shok product line.

There’s no doubt that Hornady’s Precision Rifle Cartridge family has caught on well, and both the 7mm and 300 PRC are solid all-around choices for hunting. Which comes out on top? We take a closer look at the pros and cons of each.

We put two short-action gems up against one another: the .308 Winchester, a time-proven veteran with 70-plus years of hunting experience, and the 6.5 PRC, a relative newcomer that is quickly gaining favor in the hunting fields and target range.

The 360 Buckhammer is far from just a Midwestern-only straight-wall cartridge. It has the potential to become one of the all-time great deer cartridges.

Why would the Creedmoor gain acceptance, when we had such a similar level of performance in a cartridge released at the end of the 19^th century? Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of each.

Loosely based on a shortened .404 Jeffery case with the rim rebated to the .535-inch case head of the H&H family, the .270 WSM was the third commercial cartridge using the .277-inch bore diameter, and betters the velocity of the .270 Winchester by 200 to 250 fps.

Christensen Arms has announced the addition of long-action caliber options to its Modern Hunting Rifle (MHR) line.
