Browning rolled out a bevy of ammunition offerings in 2016, shotshells included. What didn't make the initial cut, though, was a turkey load. That's changing in 2017 with the introduction of BXD Turkey.

BXD Turkey will feature nickel-plated and buffered shot, loaded within an aerodynamically stabilized tight-patterning wad. 10 rounds are included in each box.

New offerings include:

• 12-gauge 3-inch 1-5/8 oz. at 1200 fps #4, 5, 6
• 12-gauge 3½-inch 1-7/8 oz. at 1200 fps #4, 5, 6
• 20-gauge 3-inch 1 ¼ oz. at 1200 fps #5

“The new BXD Turkey will hit store shelves in time for spring turkey hunting season. We are excited to expand our line of hunting shotshells to include a tight patterning, deep penetrating, premium performance turkey load at an affordable price,” said Ben Frank, Browning Ammunition brand manager.

Behind the Bullet: The .22 Long

If we could rewind the clock to 1871, before the .45-70 Government and .45 Colt existed, and when cartridges themselves were just establishing a foothold in the shooting world, you’d find a pair of .22-caliber rimfire designs: the .22 Short and the .22 Long. Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
