Hornady has been on a roll the last few years with its line of ARC cartridges. The 6mm ARC, 22 ARC and now 338 ARC are all impressive new cartridges that don’t disappoint. But the burning question most of us have: Do they work as advertised? The 338 ARC intrigues me and I for one want…
Photos by Patrick McCarthy Three distinct things Eugene Stoner and Randy Luth have in common: initial careers as precision machinists, zeal for the AR platform, and the knowledge and experience to advance the rifle’s technology. Yet while Stoner designed the AR-15 and the AR-10, Luth — for nearly 40 years — has served as a…
IF .45 ACP AND 9MM HELPED WIN TWO WORLD WARS, HOW MANY COULD 10MM WIN? The debate between 9mm and 10mm has become one of the more popular questions in firearms these days, especially among newer shooters who aren’t clear on the differences, or at least on how much those differences matter. Let’s take a…
As the inexorable march of progress continues across the firearms industry, the proliferation of red-dot sighting systems has expanded to shotguns as well. While those who shoot upland birds and clays may not wish to partake, there’s clear advantages for tactical and other hunting applications. Despite the recent push to mount optics on rifles ever…

CANCON South Carolina 2024 was a great event for a lot of reasons. New venue, bigger crowd, and the BBQ is better in South Carolina than it is in Georgia (fight me in the comments). The highlight of the event for me was the BOSS Silencers booth with its wide range of great-sounding cans. While…
Sponsored Content Thermal optics have been a game-changer not only on the battlefield but also for hunters and homeowners protecting their land and animals from predators. Thermal weapon sights are a super weapon that no animal’s camouflage can fool, and they give you an unprecedented advantage. New from Armasight, the Commander 640 is a dedicated…
We first got word of the HS Produkt Kuna on a factory visit to Croatia, just before the world lost its collective marbles due to a Chinese lab leak. Since then, the design has been refined, and Springfield has added it to their considerable list of SKUs, importing it for the general public as a…
Photos by Kenda Lenseigne Originally created as a homage to Stoner’s other design, the BRN-180 has undergone not so much an evolution, but a caterpillar-to-butterfly transformation. Almost no parts on the Gen 3 version will interchange with previous iterations, but the family lineage is still obvious. When Stoner came up with the AR-18, it was…
Long-range precision shouldn’t be complicated to discuss, yet it often comes down to the individual experience of a student or instructor. Numerous noteworthy developments, such as weather meters, have improved the science of placing rounds on target at a more precise distance. Yet, relatively few instructors can provide a holistic approach to the complex problem…
