They’ve just debuted their Elite Hunter Tipped ammunition, and the strikingly different appearance of these rifle cartridges is only the beginning of the…
If you’re working on your long-range game, the mad scientists who run Hornady Manufacturing’s Ballistic Development Group have A Tip for you: the new A-Tip line of match bullets. The “A” stands for “aluminum,” because polymer tips are so mainstream, man. Just kidding: That long, uniform, precision-machined aluminum tip has a real use, besides being…
If you want to know what America’s favorite ammunition for handguns is, you ask the people to whom it matters most.

(Part of the reason why is no doubt that no reputable ammunition manufacturer wants to promise that their product could…
It’s also known as “handloading,” and it might just be your new favorite hobby. Simply put, reloading is the process of taking your expended brass and recycling it with a new primer, charge and bullet. Sounds boring, right? So why would you bother doing it when there’s perfectly good factory ammo for sale? Here are four…

In January, Federal Premium debuted a new long-range cartridge – the .224 Valkyrie. Having already achieved award-winning status prior to Shot Show, the new cartridge was officially approved by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) during their committee meeting in Vegas. The official SAAMI publication of their decision was just released this week. Says…
In a move that seems far from likely to succeed, U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) is introducing legislation that would require background checks for people who buy ammunition. This is a bill that only has 36 Democratic co-sponsors. No Republicans in the House support the bill. There are some states that already have this type…
Rob Leatham and Rob Pincus – the dynamic duo of the series Worlds Collide – had a spirited exchange on Facebook Live last night. Leatham’s argument is rooted in physics and relates to power. A .45 has more mass than a 9mm, which means it will carry more momentum into the target. Therefore, a .45…
Have you been following the caliber war with Rob Leatham and Rob Pincus? It started on Monday when Leatham ignited the fire again arguing for his preference of the .45ACP, and provided a compelling shooting demonstration.
