“Tag: Best Ammo”

Let the debate begin.

Shotshell technology has come a long way in the past few years. Case in point: Browning’s BXD Waterfowl loads, which pack several premium features into one shell.

Built using all the knowledge ballisticians have gained over years of collecting data, the 6.5 PRC is one of the most perfect hybrid hunting/long-range target rounds ever conceived.

For those of us who choose to pursue deer with a rifle, the bullet is the one piece of gear that seals the deal. There are many makes and models available, but a few stand out. Here's a look at Philip Massaro's personal top five.

Undoubtedly, North America’s most popular game animal is the whitetail deer, but globally (and running a close second here at home) is the feral hog. Not unlike the whitetail, they are hunted with a wide array of calibers and bullets, and what works for one hunter might not be the choice of the other.

You’ve probably heard that African dangerous game can absorb five hits from an Abrams tank and keep on charging. You’ve probably heard that kudu, eland, wildebeest and even impala are so tough from evading lions and leopards they’ll soak up bullets that would floor a North American brown bear. Nonsense.

The Hornady .300 PRC is part of a paradigm shift in centerfire-cartridge design, one brought about by an increasingly improved understanding of internal and external ballistics, and the use of Doppler radar. As a .30-caliber magnum it is not only capable of killing big game, but also other .30-caliber magnums.
