“u.s. army”

New emergency rules and resolutions for public hunting lands were approved last month by the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission.

The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) highlighted the aid it continues to receive from the NRA, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Oklahoma Hunters and Anglers during an Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission meeting on Dec. 2.

Modern gun writers owe Col. Townsend Whelen a huge debt for clearing the path.

Generating just over 3,200 ft.-lbs. of muzzle energy, the .405 Winchester was—at the time of its release in 1904—the most powerful lever-action cartridge available.

Both the .308 Winchester and .270 Winchester are popular chamberings, and ammo is readily available from nearly every manufacturer. Which comes out on top? We take a closer look at the pros and cons of each.

This latest Member's Hunt comes from Gerardo V. Meneses of Temple, Texas.

We put two short-action gems up against one another: the .308 Winchester, a time-proven veteran with 70-plus years of hunting experience, and the 6.5 PRC, a relative newcomer that is quickly gaining favor in the hunting fields and target range.

Loosely based on a shortened .404 Jeffery case with the rim rebated to the .535-inch case head of the H&H family, the .270 WSM was the third commercial cartridge using the .277-inch bore diameter, and betters the velocity of the .270 Winchester by 200 to 250 fps.
