6mm Remington Loads for Most Big Game

The 6mm Remington (left) is shown with the .243 Winchester (center) and the 6mm Creedmoor (right). The superior 6mm Remington lost the popularity contest to the .243 Winchester, with the 6mm Creedmoor positioned to overtake the .243.

RUGER 10/22, OLD AND NEW

RUGER 10/22, OLD AND NEW

William Batterman Ruger is rightfully given credit, throughout the country and across the world, for introducing many recognizable firearm designs. A few contemporary gunwriters have even referred to him as a “genius,” probably because someone else did in the mid-1900s when the Ruger Standard .22 Long Rifle pistol was introduced. Genius? I do not know, but the man certainly had his finger on the postwar pulse of what U.S. shooters wanted and launched one of the most successful firearms manufacturing companies ever known by building a foundry and casting gun parts. This kept manufacturing costs down, accelerated production and allowed making affordable, durable rifles, pistols, revolvers and eventually shotguns.

.22 LR WINCHESTER MODEL 62A

I was taught rifle marksmanship at a young age by my father and clearly remember being nervous to shoot in front of him, as he was, and still is, one of the best shots I know. I was started on his Ruger 10/22 Bicentennial, which he had scoped with a Tasco 3-9x, and once in a while we’d let a full magazine loose as quickly as possible, just for fun.

RIMFIRE TERMINAL PERFORMANCE

RIMFIRE TERMINAL PERFORMANCE

Discussions concerning the terminal performance of big-game ammunition are popular at gun shops, around campfires and in the sporting press. As far as rimfire ammunition goes, not a lot is said about it. Everyone seems to have their favorite load, but do they really know how it performs inside the target? Detailed information on the terminal performance of rimfire ammunition is nearly non-existent, so a test was conducted.

SAVAGE .17 WINCHESTER SUPER MAGNUM

Hunters get excited when something new comes along – a rifle, new ammunition or even a scope. As a serious rimfire shooter since adolescence, the thought of a new rimfire round that pushes a 20-grain bullet out the muzzle at 3,000 fps is indeed news. Faster than the .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (HMR) by around 26 percent, the Winchester Super Magnum cartridge was destined to be the velocity leader when it comes to present-day rimfire ammunition. Along with the Winchester Super Magnum (WSM) ammunition from Winchester, Savage Arms was first to introduce a bolt-action rifle for the cartridge.

WORKING ON YOUR 10/22

WORKING ON YOUR 10/22

The title of this feature is not really appropriate. The connotation of the words “working on” is that there is something about the old Ruger 10/22 with a cast receiver that needs repairing, altering or changing. Such is not the case. In fact, the 10/22 is perfect for its intended purpose, which is to provide a means to participate in that most honorable pastime of plinking.

.22 WINCHESTER MAGNUM

In all my time in the field, the one rifle I did not see very often was the Browning T-Bolt. Unless they were there and I never noticed, the T-Bolt seems to be a rarity in the hunting fields. Not that there is anything wrong with the rifle, but with the market full of bolt-action and semiautomatic rimfire rifles, the T-Bolt has regrettably been left out of the fray in rifle reviews and gun store inventories.

YOUTH RIMFIRE OPTIONS

YOUTH RIMFIRE OPTIONS

Though more than 48 years have passed, I remember the day I received my first firearm as clearly as I remember marrying well out of my league just 14 years ago. That Savage Model 24 .22 Long Rifle/.410 over/under (O/U) appeared under the Christmas tree one snowy Colorado morning, a gift from my step-grandfather, who had hunted tree squirrels with the same gun as a young man. It had been hidden away in some dark, forgotten corner for decades. I came from a decidedly non-hunting family, and this gift proved a blindside for my parents (my animal-lover mother and three-tour-Vietnam-post traumatic stress disorder stepfather). So, when I unwrapped that oddly-shaped package and began dancing with glee, the event went over like the proverbial turd in the punchbowl. Only eight at the time, my parents immediately decided I wasn’t old enough to handle a firearm, and the gift would not be accepted.

.22 LR RUGER CHARGER SUPPRESSED

Ruger’s 22 Charger rimfire pistol – based on Ruger’s 10/22 action – was introduced in 2007 and included an attractively-sculpted, black-laminated, pistol-gripped stock. Sturm, Ruger & Company’s semiautomatic 10/22 is one of the most popular .22 Long Rifle (LR) firearms of all time. They’re affordable, incredibly reliable, include a compact 10-round rotary magazine and a modular design.

.22 LONG RIFLE BALLISTICS COMPARISON

Americans annually burn some three billion rounds of .22 rimfire ammunition, mostly .22 Long Rifle (LR). Such volume makes the .22 LR one of varmint shooting’s most significant factors. The 133-year-old .22 LR cartridge is fun, affordable and deadly on small varmints (within its respective capabilities) and is arguably the world’s most popular varmint round.

.17 HMR/ .22 MAGNUM COMPARISON

When making a list of the most fun and most useful cartridges introduced since smokeless powder came into common use during the late 1800s, the .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (HMR) and .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) have to be among them. The .22 WMR came first, so I will begin with a brief look at its history.
