Head to Head: .300 Wby. Mag. vs. 8mm Rem. Mag.

Both cartridges are based on the H&H belted case, generate impressive velocities and have a wide range of bullet weights. Which is the better choice for the hunter? Contributor Philip Massaro takes a closer look at the pros and cons of each.

An Ode to the .325 WSM

Winchester's final WSM cartridge is arguably the best, but its acceptance by hunters has been lukewarm, which is unfortunate. It's a versatile round that's capable of taking most game animals worldwide.

Behind the Bullet: 8mm Remington Magnum

Based on the full-length .375 H&H belted case, the 8mm Rem. Mag. was the first commercial 8mm magnum cartridge to be introduced by an American firm, using bullet weights between 125 and 220 grains.
