“barnes”

In this month's Head to Head, Phil Massaro breaks down the differences between these two .30-caliber favorites.

Federal has released the 7mm Backcountry, a high-speed, high-pressure cartridge designed specifically for use in shorter barreled, suppressed platforms.

Named for the antagonist in the medieval classic Beowulf, the 6.5 Grendel certainly delivers a performance level which belies the cartridge’s image.

I briefly covered the 8.6 Blackout in my last Alternative Ammo piece, in which I compared it to the .338 Federal. But because this is such a new, niche cartridge, my editor thought it also deserved a deep dive, so I’m here to provide an in-depth look at the new 8.6 BLK.

These sturdy hammer-fired, budget-friendly pistols pack plenty of punch in both calibers, and provide an excellent, consistent testbed to compare the attributes of .45 ACP and 10mm Auto.

The traditional projectile has been under attack of late.

Between the 6.5 PRC and 26 Nosler, which is the better choice for the hunter? We take a look at the pros and cons of each cartridge.

The .400 H&H Magnum is the most popular of the more obscure Holland & Holland cartridge offerings, and for a number of good reasons.
