“hippo”

The storied .35 Whelen and hard-charging .358 Norma Magnum go head to head in this installment of Phil Massaro's popular ammunition series.

A look at the top five plains-game species that provide the most amount of fun for your trophy fee.

The .375 H&H Magnum and .416 Rigby are both capable of taking the entire spectrum of game animals, in any climate, on any continent. But which is the better choice for the hunter? We investigate.

The pursuit of Cape buffalo in Tanzania’s Selous Game Reserve is a bucket-list hunt.

Any hunter who pursues dangerous game is advised to “bring enough gun.” It is also advised to learn how to run that gun. Here are a handful of shooting drills to teach you that.

Each shooter’s recoil tolerance level is different, and some people appreciate flexibility over specific application, but these five cartridges will cleanly take any dangerous-game animal on earth.

From great adventure stories to detailed how-tos, these five books will help shape the way you hunt. Read, learn and enjoy: They are good teachers.

Introduced in 1989, the .416 Remington Magnum is fully capable of handling any and all game, including the heavyweights like elephant, hippo, buffalo and coastal brown bears. Its trajectory is flatter than most would think, and recoil isn’t much heavier than the .375 H&H, yet the terminal results are visibly greater.

Introduced in 1956, the .458 Winchester Magnum offered the ballistic formula of the .450 NE in a bolt-action, affordable rifle.
