Top 5 Magnum Cartridges Without the Magnum Name

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.

Behind the Bullet: .350 Remington Magnum

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.

First Look: Ruger American Generation II Predator

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.

Behind the Bullet: 400 Legend

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.

First Look: Federal Fusion Tipped Ammunition

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.
