An honest look at what it takes to shoot through brush at game.

Nosler took the venerable .270 caliber to a new level with the introduction of the 27 Nosler. Conceived as a 21^st century upgrade, the cartridge delivers previously unobtainable downrange ballistics by pairing the ultimate combination of case capacity with modern long-for-caliber bullets.

The new Hornady CX bullet is an upgrade of the popular GMX. The company’s ballistic engineers looked at all the attributes of the older GMX design and made some key changes which had an effect on downrange trajectory and terminal performance.

The .257 Bob certainly has lost popularity of late, but those who still take him afield each fall quietly go about their business, accurately placing shots and taking game without destroying any more meat than is necessary.

These five cartridges are seeing renewed interest from deer hunters thanks to new hunting laws and improved ballistic performance. 

The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute Inc., (SAAMI) has announced the acceptance of three new rifle cartridges for SAAMI standardization.

Introduced in the mid-1940s, the 7mm Weatherby Magnum case has minimal taper, maximizing powder capacity, and the correlative muzzle velocities show Roy Weatherby’s penchant for speed. Anything the popular 7mm Rem. Mag. will do, the 7mm Weatherby will do just a bit faster.

Estimates show less than one percent of all companies make it to their 100th year in business. Federal Ammunition will join this select group in 2022, and has plans to celebrate all year long.

A beltless non-rebated .30-caliber magnum rifle cartridge designed for extreme performance at long range, the .300 PRC is the product of years of tinkering by Hornady. It will handle almost any game in North America and is fully capable of doing double duty as a long-range target choice.
