Contributor Frank Melloni takes readers through a range day with Bergara's Premier MgLite, a magnesium chassis rifle made with the backcountry in mind.

Despite an array of competitors being introduced since its 1944 debut, Weatherby’s original .30-caliber magnum cartridge is arguably still the best in class.

Undoubtedly one of our nation’s favorite cartridges, the .223 Remington is capable of hair-splitting accuracy in a properly built rifle, has enough velocity for a respectable trajectory, and with the heavier bullets with a higher BC, can resist wind deflection rather well.

Seldom encountered today, the 7mm STW was a trendsetter in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Although newer, faster cartridges have debuted since, it’s still a solid choice when pursuing big-game in wide-open areas.

This classic cartridge is a perfect fit for most handgun hunters. Observant hunters will immediately recognize that the .41 Magnum offers notably better external and terminal ballistics than the .357, yet is slightly more shooter-friendly than the .44.

Modern features meet classic lever-action design in this potent big-bore hunting rifle.

Between the .338 Winchester and the .340 Weatherby, which makes the most sense for the hunter? Contributor Philip Massaro examines the pros and cons of each.

The .240 Weatherby Magnum is the fastest 6mm on the commercial market, exceeding the muzzle velocity of the .243 Win. and 6mm Rem. by 300 fps. If you’re the hunter who likes obscure cartridges, the .240 Wby. Mag. is a great choice for deer, pronghorn and similar-sized game.

Featuring Sierra’s polymer-tipped boattail GameChanger bullet, new Tipping Point hunting ammo from HSM combines match-grade accuracy with extreme terminal results.
