    The .257 Roberts. A Quarter bore to remember. Created as a wildcat in the 1920’s by Ned Roberts this cartridge would eventually be adopted and released commercially by Remington Arms. (With a few minor tweaks.) Still named after the man who created the wildcat itself.

    Designed by Roy Weatherby in 1957 the .460 Weatherby Magnum is an amazing dangerous game cartridge. It packs a punch with the 450gr and 500gr factory loaded ammunition.

    The Weekly Cartridge – The 6.5×55 Swedish

    The 6.5×55 Swedish. One of my personal favourites and a true heritage classic. Used by both military and civilians this cartridge has a long standing history in both worlds. Still used commonly across Europe this cartridge is great and I would push anyone into its direction.

  • The Weekly Cartridge – The .50 Alaskan.

    The Weekly Cartridge – The .50 Alaskan.

    The .50 Alaskan. A unique offering that surprised me but sounds like it gives one heck of a thump when loaded properly. The .50 Alaskan is typically found in lever guns only.
