“premium bullets”

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?

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.

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.

Hornady's new 6.5 PRC not only surpasses its 6.5 Creedmoor running mate, it out-punches the .270 Win., and delivers terminal energy in the same league as the .30-06 and 7mm Rem. Mag.

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.

Contributor Philip Massaro takes a closer look at Montana-based Choice Ammunition.

There have been many visionaries in the firearms industry—the John Brownings and the Peter Paul Mausers—but we firmly believe that if for nothing other than the .357 Mag. and .44 Mag., Elmer Keith deserves inclusion into that group. The .357 Magnum is a sound and useful design, one that will continue to be enjoyed by shooters and hunters alike for decades to come.

Old is not dead, and though the 8x57 has had to endure vast improvements in cartridge design, powder development and bullet performance, it remains a perfectly viable hunting cartridge.
