By today’s standards, the external ballistics of the 7.62x39mm Soviet are insipid. And yet, the cartridge remains an excellent choice for hunting common big-game species at practical ranges.

On Tuesday, July 6, 2021, customer contributions to the MidwayUSA's NRA Round-Up Program surpassed $20 million.

Despite an array of competitors being introduced since its 1944 debut, Weatherby’s original .30-caliber magnum cartridge is arguably still the best in class.

There’s no denying that modern bullets are nothing short of amazing, but does that mean the older, classic designs are obsolete? Let’s take a closer look at the real-world differences between various bullet designs when used at hunting ranges.

Already got deer on the brain, but not quite sure what to do about it? Big & J has a suite of supplements specifically designed to meet the changing dietary needs of deer 365 days of the year, so you can start building your herd now.

It’s been an argument that has gone on for well over a half-century: Is the controlled-round-feed or the push-feed design better for the hunter?

In this age of ballistic superiority, where our projectiles more closely resemble the Apollo-era spacecraft, where the bullet continues to evolve in both shape and method of construction, the round nose projectile is often overlooked as if it were a relic of a bygone era. Don't let that fool you, though. The good, old-fashioned round nose bullet, which seems to have been passed over in the history of bullet evolution, is still a viable choice for many hunters.
