Gun Descriptions

About In the year 1952, Winchester introduced the .308 Winchester Ammo based on the foundation of the late T65 series and the Winchester’s rifle were immediately chambered for the new cartridge. When it comes to short action and hunting big game, .308 Winchester Ammo has earned quite a strong reputation ever since its release. Hunters around the world know the .308 Winchester Ammo for its power and high accuracy. While the shot taken using a .308 Winchester Ammo will have an effective range up to 1,000 yards, but the best bet of hunting your game successfully is within the range of 300-500 yards. In this range and with this bullet, you can take down medium to big games with a single bullet. Manufacturer The Winchester family is the one responsible for manufacturing the .308 Winchester Ammo, the hunting gem that hunters around the world love shooting with and take down their game with a high success rate. Uses Whether it’s the season for deer or grizzly bears, the .308 Winchester Ammo will be the most suitable companion for your venture and will probably yield the most favorable results for your hunting session. Even though in North America, this cartridge is recommended to be used for whitetail deer, it’s common knowledge that this full-powered and accurate bullet can bring down medium to large sized dangerous game.

The .350 Remington Magnum carries the same design as the 7mm Remington Magnum but is a shortened version. When it was introduced, it was the most powerful 35 caliber of its time. However, due to its short-fat concept in a time when longer and slender were preferred, it failed to captivate gun writers and shooters then. In short, many innovations around this cartridge and the rifle chambered for it were heavily scrutinized and criticized. The .350 Rem Mag was created by the Remington Arms Company in the year 1965, a year after the Model 600 carbine rifle, a push-feed bolt-action rifle by the same arms company was introduced. This cartridge was produced with two factory loads: a 200 grain and a 250 grain each at a velocity of 3000 fps and 2500 fps, respectively. The .35 caliber Rem Mag was a powerful cartridge, generating muzzle energy of up to 4000 ft. lbs. In terms of performance, the cartridge had limited ability to use longer, heavier bullets with higher ballistic performance due to the magazine length of the rifles it is usually chambered in. The .350 Rem Mag was a handy rifle, making it a convenient brush gun. At a reasonable range, the .350 Remington Magnum could easily take on a dangerous game. However, reloading with certain bullets made the cartridge capable of 500 yards of big game hunting. However, this intense power came at the terrible cost of vicious recoil, making it difficult for the average man to take a shot with the rifle. Also, as the model 600 was made of light synthetic material, the bedding was always at risk of being destroyed by the enormous power of the .350 cartridge. The idea of a compact rifle which was accurate, long-reaching -boasting great power was what the model 600 and .350 Rem Mag hoped to achieve. Unfortunately, that was lost in translation, seeing the .350 Rem Mag factory loading discontinued.
