.240 Apex
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox Firearm Cartridge Template:Infobox Firearm Cartridge The .240 Magnum Rimless Holland & Holland (also known as the .240 Apex and the .240 Super Express) is a centrefire sporting rifle cartridge developed in English gunmakers Holland & Holland no later than 1919,[1] primarily for use in hunting deer and plains game.[2]
As it was common for rimless hunting cartridges, a rimmed (beltless) variant, at the time called just "Holland's 240 Super Express"[3] and now sometimes named .240 Flanged Magnum or .240 H&H Flanged, was developed simultaneously for break-barrel rifles and combination guns.[4][5]
Overview
The ballistic performance of the .240 H&H in factory loads is very similar to that of the .243 Winchester, with a Script error: No such module "convert". bullet with a diameter of .245 inches (contrary to the .240 name) giving a muzzle velocity of approximately Script error: No such module "convert".. 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 strong enough to handle hand-loaded cartridges at high pressure.
