Readers Choice Rifle Cartridges (730 words)
Most readers have probably noticed that on the "Rifle Cartridge Page" of Guns and Shooting Online there are articles about all of the popular sporting cartridges in widespread use in North America (and much of the world, since Guns and Shooting Online has an international audience), as well as many of the less popular cartridges.
These are the cartridges in which the greatest number of you, the readers, have been most interested.
Interest in the cartridge remains high, probably partly due to its romantic association with the Old West, and partly because it is one of the best 200 yard deer and medium game cartridges ever designed.
