Top 5 Dangerous Game Cartridges
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.
Guns and Gear for an Alaska Black Bear Hunt
Field Editor Philip Massaro shares the gear he used on his recent Alaska black bear hunt.
Behind the Bullet: .416 Rigby
The cartridge’s sheer size, steep shoulder and Rigby name all add up to a century-plus-old classic that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Behind the Bullet: .404 Jeffery
Why would a dangerous game hunter choose a .404 Jeffery over a .416 or a .375 H&H? Well, because it’s really cool. Let Philip Massaro explain.
Behind the Bullet: .375 H&H Magnum
The .375 bore is the legal minimum for dangerous game in many African countries, and with good reason: it generates just over 4,000 ft.-lbs. of energy at the muzzle, and offers a bullet with enough Sectional Density to get the job done, and done well.
