.240 Apex
The .240 Magnum Rimless Holland & Holland (also known as the .240 Apex and the .240 Super Express) is a centrefire sporting rifle cartridge (firearms), cartridge developed in English gunmakers Holland & Holland no later than 1919, primarily for use in hunting deer and plains game. As it was common for rimless hunting cartridges, a rimmed (beltless) variant, at the time called just "Holland's 240 Super Express" and now sometimes named .240 Flanged Magnum or .240 H&H Flanged, was developed simultaneously for break-barrel rifles and combination guns. Overview The ballistic performance of the .240 H&H in factory loads is very similar to that of the .243 Winchester, with a bullet with a diameter of .245 inches (contrary to the .240 name) giving a muzzle velocity of approximately . When it is loaded at the same pressure as the .243 WSSM using modern powders, the .240 H&H has the potential for slightly better performance. Most bolt-action rifles made for the .240 H&H will be amply ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Holland & Holland
Holland & Holland is a British gunmaker and clothing retailer based in London, England, which offers handmade sporting rifles and shotguns. The company holds two royal warrants. History Holland & Holland was founded by Harris Holland (1806–1896) in 1835. Harris Holland was born in 1806 in London. Although accounts of his background are somewhat sketchy, it is believed that his father was an organ builder, while Harris had a tobacco wholesale business in London. He was successful, and was often seen at various pigeon shoots at important London clubs, as well as leasing a grouse moor in Yorkshire. Having no children of his own, he took on his nephew Henry Holland as an apprentice in 1861. In 1867 Henry became a partner and in 1876 the name changed to Holland & Holland. Although Henry was a full partner, Harris kept strict control and was the only one who could sign a cheque until he died in 1896. At first, the guns bore the inscription H.Holland, without an address, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pistol And Rifle Cartridges
A pistol is a handgun, more specifically one with the chamber integral to its gun barrel, though in common usage the two terms are often used interchangeably. The English word was introduced in , when early handguns were produced in Europe, and is derived from the Middle French ''pistolet'' (), meaning a small gun or knife. In colloquial usage, the word "pistol" is often used to describe any type of handgun, inclusive of revolvers (which have a single barrel and a separate cylinder housing multiple chambers) and the pocket-sized derringers (which are often multi-barrelled). The most common type of pistol used in the contemporary era is the semi-automatic pistol, while the older single-shot and lever action, manual repeating pistols are now rarely seen and used primarily for nostalgic hunting and historical reenactment, and the fully automatic machine pistols are uncommon in civilian usage due to generally poor recoil-controllability and strict gun laws, laws and regulations ...

6 Mm Remington
The 6mm Remington rifle cartridge, originally introduced in 1955 by Remington Arms Company as the .244 Remington, is based on a necked down .257 Roberts cartridge (itself a necked-down 7×57mm Mauser) using a .24/6mm bullet. Known for a combination of high velocity, long range, flat trajectory, and accuracy, it is suitable as a dual use hunting cartridge for both medium-sized big game and varmints. When used in the less common earlier slow twist barrels, it offers exceptional range for varmint applications. While not as commercially popular today as the .243 Winchester, the 6mm Remington enjoys a slight ballistic advantage and continues to be popular with handloaders and custom rifle builders. Developmental history By the early 1950s, there had been a significant amount of experimentation and ' wildcatting' in developing the .24 caliber bullet as a dual purpose hunting round. Popular cartridges necked down for this purpose included the .257 Roberts (based on the 7x57mm M ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was the service cartridge of the United States Navy and Marine Corps from 1895 (replacing the .45-70 Government round) to 1899, when it was replaced by the .30-40 Krag. History and development By 1894, the U.S. Navy desired to adopt a modern small-bore, smokeless powder service cartridge and rifle in keeping with other first-line naval powers for both naval and marine forces.Sampson, W.T., ''Annual Reports of the Navy Department: Report of Chief of Bureau of Ordnance'', Washington, D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office (1895), pp. 215–218 Naval authorities decided that the new cartridge should be adaptable to both rifles and machine guns.
