“ammo of the year”

Editor in Chief J. Scott Olmsted this morning presented outdoor-industry leaders with American Hunter’s best-in-class awards.

When American Hunter announced its 2016 Golden Bullseye honorees late last year, it did indeed name products in 10 categories that met or exceeded those standards. One of the standouts—and a seasonably relevant one, too—was the 2016 Ammo of the Year: Winchester’s Shot-Lok.

Meet our 2016 Ammunition Product of the Year, Winchester's Shot-Lok technology.

Barnett's Raptor FX captured the title of 2016 Crossbow of the Year.

Federal Premium has released a new all-copper version of its Power-Shok ammunition. Here are five things you need to know.

Check out our ammunition of the year: Hornady's groundbreaking new 6.5 PRC.

The Hornady .300 PRC is part of a paradigm shift in centerfire-cartridge design, one brought about by an increasingly improved understanding of internal and external ballistics, and the use of Doppler radar. As a .30-caliber magnum it is not only capable of killing big game, but also other .30-caliber magnums.

The all-around 27 Nosler is good for anything in North America short of big bears or bison.

Any way you cut it, this cartridge is a long-range winner. It maintains its energy at distance, and it’s plenty accurate, too.
