This week, we’re taking a closer look at True Velocity polymer ammunition. The natural next step in ammunition evolution, these cartridges use a polymer composite casing instead of brass, for tighter tolerances, consistent wall thicknesses and reduced weight. On top of all that, polymer is a far cheaper material to manufacture than its brazen counterparts. For more information on this innovative cartridge design, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Editor in Chief Scott Olmsted. MSRP: $69.99/Box of 20 in .308 Winchester; tvammo.com

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued?
