“american whitetail”

Barnes has debuted its Harvest Collection line of ammunition, targeted squarely at American whitetail hunters. Topped with the venerable Sierra Tipped GameKing (TGK) bullet, Barnes Harvest Collection is designed for maximal lethality on thin-skinned game, combining near match-grade accuracy with impressive terminal performance.

These 10 loads offer great performance without breaking the bank.

B. Gil Horman builds out, suppresses and tests a Howa 1500 Mini in the versatile 350 Legend to see how well the cartridge pairs with the platform.

B. Gil Horman builds himself a new hunting rig right from the studs, exploring the ways in which an AR-pattern rifle can meet the various needs of most any American hunter.

The Stag 10 Pursuit shoots well, has great ergonomics and is a manageable weight for a large-frame AR.

A handsome lever-action chambered in .30-30 Winchester, the Marlin Model 336 Classic is smooth, precise, accurate and has a great wood-to-metal fit.

A revolver chambered for the 350 Legend, the Model 350 X-Frame is a dream for both handgun hunters and those who live in straight-wall-only states. With a seven-round cylinder, this surprisingly soft shooter is field-ready right out of the box.

If you want a cartridge that will handle deer and bear at woods distances in any state while providing the capability of being a rock-solid defensive cartridge, the .450 Bushmaster should have a place near the top of the list.
