“.454”

Perplexed by which handgun/cartridge combination best suits your hunting needs? We’re here to help.

Introduced in 1989, the .416 Remington Magnum is fully capable of handling any and all game, including the heavyweights like elephant, hippo, buffalo and coastal brown bears. Its trajectory is flatter than most would think, and recoil isn’t much heavier than the .375 H&H, yet the terminal results are visibly greater.

Phil Massaro dissects a short-action favorite: the .300 Winchester Short Magnum.

The modern trend in cartridge design is to shun the belted magnum case to avoid the stretching associated with it, and embrace the beltless, rimless designs. If you agree with that sentiment, the 28 Nosler will appeal to you.

Enjoy increased range and more knock-down power from your favorite 10mm Auto cartridges with this handy take-down carbine.

If you’re in the market for a cartridge that will do double duty in both the hunting fields and on the target range, with a bit more horsepower than the Creedmoor provides, the 6.5 PRC is worth a hard look.

This classic cartridge is a perfect fit for most handgun hunters. Observant hunters will immediately recognize that the .41 Magnum offers notably better external and terminal ballistics than the .357, yet is slightly more shooter-friendly than the .44.

Driving a 40-grain bullet at a muzzle velocity of between 1875 and 1910 fps, if you desire to pursue furbearers and varmints at ranges beyond what the .22 LR can handle, the .22 WMR is your cartridge.
