The 360 Buckhammer is a new cartridge from Remington Ammunition, based on a 30-30 Winchester case. It features a .358 diameter, 200-grain bullet and operates at around 50,000 PSI, offering increased power over the 30-30 with manageable recoil, comparable to a 350 Legend.

Why are lever-action rifles becoming popular again?

Lever-action rifles are experiencing a resurgence in popularity, driven by factors like nostalgia, their presence in popular media, and the return of brands like Marlin under Ruger. This trend contrasts with the market for modern, high-tech firearms.

What are the benefits of using sub-gauge shotguns like 20 or 28 gauge?

Sub-gauge shotguns offer significantly reduced recoil, making them excellent for training new shooters, youth, and for extended practice sessions. The 28 gauge, especially with 3-inch shells, is noted for its effectiveness and is increasingly popular for both target shooting and hunting.

How can I improve my shotgun shooting skills?

Improving shotgun skills involves consistent practice, focusing on proper gun fit, and understanding shotgun patterning. Taking lessons from professional shooters, practicing dry-firing, and using lighter loads for training can also significantly enhance performance.

What is shotgun patterning and why is it important?

Shotgun patterning involves shooting your shotgun at a target to see how the shot spreads downrange with a specific load and choke. It's crucial for understanding your firearm's point of impact and ensuring consistent performance for hunting or competition.
