“.454”

While there are many handgun hunting cartridges to choose from, these practical all-around choices rise to the top.

The .500 Maximum is to hunting revolvers what the big Nitro Express cartridges are to hunting rifles. Here’s why.

Loaded in premium Hornady cases, and using premium powder and primers, the new Handgun Hunter ammo gives the results handgunners have come to expect: reliable expansion across a wide range of velocities, high weight retention and deep penetration.

Fulfillment of a 40-year dream delivers a flood of good vibes.

There have been many visionaries in the firearms industry—the John Brownings and the Peter Paul Mausers—but we firmly believe that if for nothing other than the .357 Mag. and .44 Mag., Elmer Keith deserves inclusion into that group. The .357 Magnum is a sound and useful design, one that will continue to be enjoyed by shooters and hunters alike for decades to come.

While there are many classic wheelgun calibers that date back to the late 19th century—the .44-40 and .45 Colt foremost among them—the relatively modern .44 Rem. Mag. has a well-deserved place among the most effective developments for a revolver, and will undoubtedly remain there for our lifetime and beyond.

NRA Publications will present its annual Golden Bullseye Awards and Golden Bullseye Pioneer Award at an invitation-only breakfast on Friday, May 20, during the 2016 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Louisville, Kentucky.

Considering that the .45 Colt has been with us for 143 years, it remains a completely relevant, powerful, and well-balanced handgun cartridge, that is equally at home at a Cowboy Action Shoot as it is in the hunting fields.
