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.

With its immediately recognizable profile, sheer reliability and impeccable reputation, “The Rifleman’s Rifle” has served hunters the world over for more than 80 years.

The Model 1886 remains at the top of the heap of excellent lever-action rifles. Whether new or vintage, having one in your safe is never a bad idea, and it’s a great choice for nearly any big game at ranges suitable for the big rimmed cartridges.

For over a century, the .375 H&H has routinely, consistently and reliably made happy hunters around the world, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it continues to do so for another century.

Created for the battlefield, this military-turned-hunting cartridge is a top choice when pursuing big game both near and far.

Designed with a rotary bolt, based loosely on the military M14 design, with a gas piston based on the M1 Garand, the Ruger Mini-14 was made to be reliable. And, reliable it is.

Relatively unknown outside of true metallic cartridge aficionados, the .250-3000 Savage Improved strikes the ideal balance between downrange performance and perceived recoil. That’s only the beginning, too.

Released in 1980, the 7mm-08 Remington would go on to be considered one of the best deer cartridges ever conceived, and the gamut of 7mm bullets available make it extremely flexible.

Although it has been largely forgotten by all but a dedicated faction of hunters, the .17 Mach 2 remains a first-rate option for small-game and varmint hunting.
