“core-lokt”

The German-designed but American-made Minox ZA3 is powerful, rugged and affordable.

The BullShooters have heard the phrase "you should never hold off hair" get thrown around in more than one hunting camp. But does such a statement really hold water? Jeff Johnston investigates.

In 1939, the .308 Win. had not been invented yet, and it would be 23 more years before anyone heard of the Remington Model 700. However, 1939 was the year Remington would change hunting history with the introduction of the Core-Lokt.

The Power-Point was developed by Winchester in the 1960s. It is not a fancy bullet. But next to the Remington Core-Lokt, the Power-Point has probably killed more deer than any of its peers.

For those of us who choose to pursue deer with a rifle, the bullet is the one piece of gear that seals the deal. There are many makes and models available, but a few stand out. Here's a look at Philip Massaro's personal top five.

In 2014 SIG Sauer launched its Elite Performance Ammunition line. Initially made up of a few loads for defensive handguns, the line continues to expand. It now contains JHP loads for 13 handgun cartridges and FMJ loads for eight handgun cartridges, as well as hunting and match loads for the .300 AAC Blackout. Two of the latest JHP loads for the .357 Mag. and .44 Mag. stand out for hunting.
