“.264 win. mag”

Check out the best hunts sent in by our members in 2020.

Your chosen hunting cartridge may not be trending up, but that doesn’t mean these classic rounds aren’t effective and efficient on game.

The 7mm-08 Remington is hands-down the perfect whitetail cartridge. Here’s why.

Built using all the knowledge ballisticians have gained over years of collecting data, the 6.5 PRC is one of the most perfect hybrid hunting/long-range target rounds ever conceived.

Hornady's new 6.5 PRC not only surpasses its 6.5 Creedmoor running mate, it out-punches the .270 Win., and delivers terminal energy in the same league as the .30-06 and 7mm Rem. Mag.

The 6.5 Creedmoor makes for an excellent hunting cartridge for almost all game south of elk and moose. There’s something to be said for a short, efficient case for someone who shoots often and at high volumes, and the 6.5 Creedmoor is definitely that.

Remington’s 7mm Mag. came on the scene and won the hearts of many hunters looking to use a bullet of less than .30 caliber, and quickly overtook the .264 Win. Mag., forcing it into near-obscurity. And, in spite of the myriad attempts to produce a 7mm Mag. that will better the performance of the Remington version, it still maintains its seat at the head of table.

You’ll see the .300 Win. Mag. in the hands of military snipers and big game hunters alike, with good reason: It just plain works.

Trustworthy function and repeatable accuracy are things hunters depend on a rifle to have. Jeff Sipe and Montana Rifle Co. build them into the Extreme X2.
