“winchester magnum”

There’s no doubt that copper monometal bullets are here to stay. But are they so good that they warrant abandoning lead core ammo altogether? We take a look at the pros and cons of each style.

Not all magnum cartridges bear the name, but still meet all the criteria for the title. Here’s a look at five of the best.

Introduced in 1965, the .350 Remington Magnum could be considered the original short magnum. Using the belted Holland & Holland case responsible for so many excellent designs from the 40s, 50s and 60s, but shortened to be wedged into a short-action magazine, the .350 Magnum would mimic the performance of the .35 Whelen.

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has announced 36 new configurations of the Ruger American Rifle Generation II, which includes 18 configurations of the new Predator variant.

The 400 Legend takes the 350 Legend concept a step further, giving hunters a straight-walled cartridge fully suitable for both bolt-action rifles as well as the AR platform, conforming to the collective statutes set forth by a number of Midwestern states.

Contributor Dennis Bradley draws on family wildcatting experience for an in-depth teardown of two .375-caliber heavyweights.

Equipped with an opaque green polymer tip, a sleek ogive and boattail, Remington’s new Premier CuT ammunition will give monometal terminal performance in a conformation perfect for all hunting ranges.

Federal’s new Fusion Tipped features a polymer tip that increases ballistic coefficient, flattens trajectories and boosts energy for better accuracy and extended effective range.

If velocity is your thing, and you want the speediest rimfire cartridge currently available, look no further than the .17 WSM.
