Towsley's Top 10 Bullets

Our resident ammo aficionado weighs in with his top ten.

Plains Game Getter: Magnum Research BFR .454 Casull

A handgun that seems almost purpose-built for hunting plains game in South Africa.

Are .22s Untraceable?

To hear one of Jeff Johnston's favorite (non-fiction) TV shows tell it, .22-caliber bullets can't yield forensic data. The BullShooters couldn't help but take a closer look.

Bullet-Base Basics

Whether to use a flat-base bullet or one with a boattail depends largely on the cartridge and the game being hunted.

Weatherby Reloads: Introducing the 6.5-300 Wby. Mag.

Weatherby will deliver its first new cartridge in nearly 20 years in 2016, with the introduction of the new 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum. The impending release is already being hailed as the fastest 6.5mm production cartridge in the world.

Ted Nugent's American Hunter Ammunition by DoubleTap

DoubleTap Ammunition is offering a Ted Nugent-branded line of ammunition in 2016.

HuntStand Adds Spring Turkey Content

HuntStand has set the stage for spring with all-new turkey content, available exclusively in the Field Notes section of the new HuntStand.com.

Lead Core vs. Monometal Hunting Bullets

Behind the Bullet: .357 S&W Magnum

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.
