“7mm remington magnum”

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

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.

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.

Hornady has introduced its new 6.5 PRC ammo, which the company considers the “big brother” of the 6.5 Creedmoor.

The .270 Winchester and .270 Winchester Short Magnum crowd can enjoy the 140-grain Edge TLR, while the multitude of 7mm Remington Magnum shooters can now use the famous translucent blue tip on a 155-grain 7mm bullet.

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.

If you’re looking for something out of the norm, which can be housed in a handy rifle that hits hard, give the .338-06 a look. If you spend a bit of time with it, you’ll become a fan rather quickly.

Between the .270 Win. and the .280 Rem., which offers the best performance for the hunter? Contributor Philip Massaro takes a closer look at what makes each cartridge tick.
