The .35 Remington is considered a fine round for deer, elk, black bear, and other medium and large game as long as ranges are reasonable. [7] Hornady currently produces a .35 Remington load in their LEVERevolution line that features a rubber-tipped spitzer bullet which is safe to use in lever-action or pump-action firearms with tubular magazines.
Keith's suggested designation for the proposed .44 caliber round was the ".44 Special Magnum," but when Remington Arms developed the cartridge they chose to name it the .44 Remington Magnum. Nonetheless, the new cartridge was developed directly from the .44 Special design by simply lengthening the older case by .125 inch.
A .257 bullet has a metric bullet diameter of 6.53 mm. However, in Europe cartridge designation nomenclature for a large part relies on the bore diameter. As the bore diameter of the .257 Weatherby Magnum is .250 inches this would make it a 6.35 mm caliber cartridge which uses 6.5 mm bullets (not to be confused with 6.5 mm caliber cartridges ...
[7] [8] Many .17 Remington shooters have reported optimum accuracy when the bore is cleaned after every 10 - 20 shots, [7] [8] [9] though more modern metallurgy used in both barrels and bullets has largely mitigated the fouling issue. The .17 Remington is also one of the few cartridges in which powder charge weight is often greater than bullet ...
Commercially, this cartridge has only ever been loaded with 100-grain (6.5 g) bullets: lighter- and heavier-bulleted loads have been created by handloaders. Chuck Hawks, a prominent US commentator on rifle cartridges, opines that, "the .244 H&H Magnum represents some sort of high water mark in the development of the 6 mm cartridge.
The 6mm Remington has the advantage of a relatively low recoil of about 10 ft/lbs depending on load. Some gun writers, including Chuck Hawks of Guns and Shooting Online believe that this has the advantage of allowing shooters to be comfortable with the rifle without developing a flinch, allowing them to focus on accurate shot placement.

The 7mm STW graduated to commercial status when it was officially recognized by SAAMI in 1996, [6] and the Remington Arms Company started to produce it in 1997, [7] with other ammunition manufacturers following.
The .222 Remington Magnum was created by lengthening the case and shortening the neck of the highly accurate and very popular .222 Remington cartridge, which dominated varmint and benchrest shooting during the 1950s. Case capacity is about 20% greater than that of the .222 Remington, producing moderately higher muzzle velocities.
