The .30 Super Carry cartridge has been accepted for standardization by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI).

First Look: Winchester 350 Legend

Winchester’s new 350 Legend cartridge is a .223 case blown out to have straight walls, making it a perfectly viable choice for those states which require the use of a straight-walled rifle cartridge for deer hunting, and boasts an energy advantage of 120 ft.-lbs. over the veteran .30-30 Win., yet delivers less recoil than the old deer classic.

Meet the 22 Nosler

Nosler has been on a tear in recent years, releasing a new proprietary cartridge each year for the last four. This year there are two, the .33 Nosler and the .22 Nosler.

Introducing the 33 Nosler

Fourth in line of Nosler’s proprietary cartridges, the 2017 Shot Show saw the 33 Nosler’s release.

Review: Wilson Combat .300 HAM’R Cartridge

Wilson Combat’s new .300 HAM’R will do everything the .30-30 Winchester will do and more, but from an AR-15 platform.

Hardware: Winchester 350 Legend

The new 350 Legend is designed specifically for hunters to deliver massive downrange energy transfer with improved penetration from a modern straight-walled cartridge, and boasts more muzzle energy than the .30-30 Win., .300 BLK and .223 Rem.
