A little known fact is that the Remington AccuTip bullet is actually made for Remington by Hornady. In fact, the Remington AccuTip bullet is nothing more than a Hornady SST bullet with a greenish tip instead of a red tip. Now, while this might surprise some of you, it should not detract from your opinion of this bullet.

Bonded bullets can be made to penetrate deeper because they retain their weight better, and they can be made to expand wider because they hold together. Hornady’s InterBond, introduced in 2003, is a bonded bullet that does a little of one and a lot of the other.

The VLD may not have been designed as a hunting bullet, but it sure became one.

The Oryx might be Norma's most popular bullet. It's at least Norma’s best-known bullet here in the States.

Designed to be accurate, damage plenty of tissue and cost less than the popular Partition, Nosler's Ballistic Tip line was introduced in 1984.

There are essentially three definitions of the scout rifle. First, there’s Col. Jeff Cooper’s definition, which is largely credited for setting the parameters of such a firearm. The popular definition, meanwhile, is any bolt-action rifle with an extended-eye-relief scope. And finally, there’s the definition(s) conjured by everyone else. The Mossberg MVP Scout clearly meets the last two.

Currently Nosler offers BT loads for a handful of popular hunting cartridges from .243 Win. to .30-06. Expect the company to add more loads, and expect them all to be perfectly tuned to put deer-size game down with authority. They’ll work just fine on blesbok, too, even a long, long ways out there.

The author had fond memories of hunting with his mother. Little did he know how fond he would become of hunting with the mother of his children.

The Sharps Rifle Company (SRC) developed the .25-45 Sharps cartridge and introduced it in 2012. Not to be confused with Shiloh Sharps—a company that makes historically correct blackpowder cartridge rifles—SRC is for all practical purposes built around this one cartridge, which is designed to replicate .250 Savage ballistics in an AR-15. Four years after its introduction, most hunters have never heard of the .25-45 Sharps. That’s about to change.
