Here’s a look at 10 of the best magnum cartridges for big-game hunting.

In 2003, Finnish firearms manufacturer Sako released its own variant of the 9.3mm rimless cartridge: the 9.3x66mm Sako, or as it is known in the U.S., the .370 Sako Magnum. It delivers performance on par with the beloved .375 H&H in a package which can hold one additional round in the magazine in a lighter rifle.

Among those cartridges which are considered the bare minimum for an all-around choice—and that includes the African heavyweights—the 9.3x62mm Mauser and .375 H&H Magnum are undoubtedly two of the best. Which comes out on top? Contributor Philip Massaro examines the pros and cons of each.

Hornady’s dive into a .17-caliber rimfire was met with fanfare, as it truly was—and still is—a decided improvement over the long-range ballistics of any of the .22 rimfire cartridges.

In celebration of its 125th anniversary, Mauser has introduced a limited-edition series of the original Mauser 98 bolt-action rifle.

Taurus has introduced a set of optics-ready small-frame revolvers: the 856 T.O.R.O. and the 605 T.O.R.O.

Gamo has introduced the Swarm Magnum Pro Gen3i airgun, available in .177 and .22 calibers.

For 2023, Taurus introduces its Raging Hunter .460 S&W Magnum, featuring a 10.5-inch barrel with a proprietary compensator that drastically tames recoil, and a bottom rail for attaching stabilizing devices like bipods or shooting sticks.

Available in handgun calibers popularly carried in the backcountry, Winchester's Big Bore ammo was designed to offer consistent expansion, massive energy deposit and most importantly, trusted functioning.
