“nosler cartridges”

If you’re in the market for a new 7mm hunting cartridge, these five are worth a close look. 

The 27 Nosler and 6.8 Western both use the .277-inch diameter bullets made so popular by the venerable .270 Winchester, yet at faster twist rates with heavier projectiles than the old man can handle. We pit these two against one another and see which of the young upstarts comes out on top.

The first of the Nosler proprietary cartridges, the 26 Nosler remains a flat-shooting, hard-hitting choice for hunting open country. Being a 6.5mm cartridge, it will use the high ballistic coefficient projectiles which retain their energy downrange, resist the effects of a crosswind and offer a flat trajectory.

American Hunter has announced the recipients of its 2023 Golden Bullseye Awards, honoring exceptional design, manufacturing, performance and value for American hunters and gun owners.

Those who venture into the backcountry—and especially those who hunt the mountains with all their gear on their back—appreciate a lightweight rifle. Here’s a look at seven top-notch options.

The new Model 21 is packed with cutting-edge features, including a wire EDM machined receiver, nitride-coated, fluted bolt, TriggerTech trigger, Shilen match-grade stainless steel barrel, and a rugged, lightweight synthetic stock.

Nosler has taken the venerable .270 caliber to a new level with the introduction of the 27 Nosler. Conceived as a 21st century upgrade, the new cartridge delivers previously unobtainable downrange ballistics by pairing the ultimate combination of case capacity with modern long-for-caliber bullets.

The modern trend in cartridge design is to shun the belted magnum case to avoid the stretching associated with it, and embrace the beltless, rimless designs. If you agree with that sentiment, the 28 Nosler will appeal to you.
