“african game”

Both cartridges are classics, have been used for all sorts of game and are easy on the shoulder, but which offers the best performance for hunters? Contributor Philip Massaro compares the two and picks the winner.

Deer hunters who seek to add a buck to the Boone and Crockett records book would do well searching these states, where careful management has resulted in a bumper crop of bruisers.

Contributor Jay Pinsky takes a closer look at the Model 1896 Swedish Mauser to determine whether it’s worthy of a spot in your treasured hunting rifle collection.

Every one of us is a trophy hunter, though we look for more than horns and hides. We all collect moments, memories of a hunt, to cherish.

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.

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

While the .30-06 Springfield has been a father to many successful cartridges, it remains the cartridge by which all others are measured.

The right bullet loaded in the right big-bore handgun can deliver the news to even the biggest game with just as much authority as a rifle.

You’ve probably heard that African dangerous game can absorb five hits from an Abrams tank and keep on charging. You’ve probably heard that kudu, eland, wildebeest and even impala are so tough from evading lions and leopards they’ll soak up bullets that would floor a North American brown bear. Nonsense.
