“imr”

Handloading for Grandpa's old .30-30 can greatly improve it's effective range. Here's why it's worthwhile, and how to go about it.

Metric cartridges have traditionally struggled in America, but even in the 1950s, the engineers at Winchester saw the benefits of the 6.5mm bore diameter. The 1958 release of the .264 Winchester Magnum in the Model 70 Westerner rifle saw a flat-shooting, hard-hitting voluminous case, perfect for medium-sized game.

The .348 Winchester gives a good balance of striking energy and moderate recoil, and among the rimmed lever-gun cartridges, possesses impressive terminal ballistics.

The cartridge’s sheer size, steep shoulder and Rigby name all add up to a century-plus-old classic that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Released in 2006, the .338 Federal may be one of the wisest choices the big-game hunter who likes a lightweight, sweet-shooting, short-action rifle could make.

Hodgdon has announced the release of its 2019 Hodgdon Annual Manual, which contains data for Hodgdon, IMR and Winchester smokeless propellants in more than 5,000 loads with updates for 17 rifle and pistol cartridges.

Hodgdon has announced the launch of load data for the new .224 Valkyrie cartridge, now available on the company’s Reloading Data Center website.

James W. Bequette’s new book, The Gunpowder People, takes an in-depth look at Hodgdon Powder Company’s impressive 70-year history.
