“hunting ammunition”

Remington Ammunition has announced the next generation of its iconic deer hunting ammunition: Core-Lokt Tipped.

The arrival of Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) has had a major impact on shotgun hunting, and while it is a bit pricey, its devastatingly dense patterns at distances never before possible make it worth every extra penny.

Curious about what loads to buy for hunting at greater distances? Here are a few of our top choices for the task.

While there may be a shine on some of the modern releases in the 6.5mm bore diameter, the 6.5x55 Swedish still makes a sound choice for the practical hunter due to its combination of terminal ballistics, flat trajectory and minimal recoil.

With a sleek bullet, both cartridges maintain over 1,000 ft.-lbs. of energy out the 500-yard mark, and both offer a trajectory any hunter can quickly adapt to. What makes or breaks the deal in choosing one over the other? Contributor Philip Massaro takes closer a look at the pros and cons of each.

Federal’s new HammerDown ammo line has been ideally adapted to feed, cycle and function in lever-action rifles while also delivering the best level of terminal performance for hunting that can be extracted from each cartridge.

The new Fusion 10mm Auto load uses a 200-grain bullet and 1200 fps muzzle velocity to take full advantage of the 10mm Auto cartridge, with more energy and better terminal performance on impact.

The Henry Lever Action X Model .45-70 is a smooth operator, with useful features that aren’t overdone.

Here’s a detailed look at the best handgun hunting loads on the market for 2019.
