Yall thought i forgot. Cartridge of the Day: 6.5x57 Mauser The 6.5x57 Mauser, developed in the early 20th century in Germany, is a rifle cartridge based on the 7x57mm Mauser case necked down to 6.5mm. Known for its high ballistic coefficient and sectional density, it provides good accuracy and penetration. It's commonly used for hunting medium to large game such as deer and wild boar, as well as for long-range shooting. The 6.5x57 Mauser offers moderate recoil, making it suitable for a variety of shooters. Its case length is 57mm, while the diameter of the bullet is 6.5mm. Standard bullet weights range from 120 to 160 grains. Firearms chambered for this cartridge are typically bolt-action rifles, and it's popular in Europe, particularly in Germany and Austria. The cartridge's performance is similar to other 6.5mm cartridges, such as the 6.5x55 Swedish, although it cannot be interchangeably used in the same firearms. Overall, the 6.5x57 Mauser is prized for its flat trajectory and versatility, making it a reliable choice for both hunting and sport shooting. #gunstr #german

Cartridge of the Day: .250 Savage The .250 Savage cartridge, also known as the .250-3000 Savage, was introduced by Savage Arms in 1915. It is a rifle cartridge designed for medium game hunting and is notable for being the first commercial cartridge to achieve a muzzle velocity of 3,000 feet per second (fps) with an 87-grain bullet. This high velocity was significant for its time and provided flat trajectory and effective performance for hunting. The cartridge typically fires a bullet with a diameter of .257 inches and is available in various bullet weights, commonly ranging from 75 to 120 grains. The .250 Savage is well-regarded for its mild recoil and accuracy, making it suitable for hunting deer, antelope, and similar-sized game. It uses a rimless, bottlenecked case design, which contributes to reliable feeding and extraction in bolt-action and some lever-action rifles. Though it has been largely overshadowed by newer, more powerful cartridges, the .250 Savage remains a favorite among enthusiasts and hunters who appreciate its historical significance and balanced performance. #gunstr #huntstr

Cartridge of the Day: .500 Smith & Wesson The .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum (also known as .500 S&W Magnum) is a high-powered, rimmed, straight-walled handgun cartridge introduced by Smith & Wesson in 2003. It is designed for use in the Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver. This cartridge has a bullet diameter of .500 inches and is the most powerful commercial handgun cartridge by muzzle energy. Key Use Cases: 1. Big Game Hunting: It is capable of taking down large and dangerous game animals due to its high energy and stopping power. 2. Personal Defense in Extreme Scenarios: Though less common, it is sometimes considered for defense against large predators in wilderness areas. 3. Recreational Shooting: It is popular among enthusiasts who enjoy shooting powerful handguns. General Knowledge: The .500 S&W Magnum can fire bullets weighing from 275 to 700 grains, delivering muzzle energies upwards of 2,800 foot-pounds. Its impressive ballistics make it suitable for activities requiring maximum power in a handgun platform. However, its significant recoil and large frame mean it is not suitable for all shooters, particularly those with less experience with high-recoil firearms. #gunstr #hunting

Cartridge of the Day: 9mm Markarov The 9×18mm Makarov, also known as 9mm Makarov or 9mm Mak, is a Soviet-designed cartridge that was introduced alongside the Makarov PM (Pistolet Makarova) pistol in 1951. It is the standard cartridge used in the PM and various other Eastern Bloc firearms. The 9×18mm Makarov cartridge is slightly less powerful than the 9×19mm Parabellum but is still effective for self-defense and military purposes. The bullet diameter is 9.27 mm, slightly larger than the 9mm Parabellum, but it uses a shorter case with a length of 18mm. The standard bullet weight is approximately 95 grains (6.2 grams), and the typical muzzle velocity is around 1,000 feet per second (305 meters per second). Use cases for the 9mm Makarov include personal defense, police and military applications, particularly in countries that were part of the former Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact. The round is known for its relatively moderate recoil, making it suitable for a wider range of shooters. It should be noted that while the 9mm Makarov and 9mm Parabellum are similar, they are not interchangeable. #gunstr #communism
