Winchester's new Deer Season XP Copper Impact bullet is designed for rapid expansion upon impact. Its engineered hollow-point cavity delivers excellent terminal performance, and the solid copper bullet increases weight retention over standard jacketed lead-core bullets.

Federal Premium has announced the arrival of its new Edge TLR product line, a dedicated series of long-range hunting ammunition. Using a polymer-tipped, boat tail bullet, with a small lead core at the front, the TLR bullet has shown to give consistent expansion at distances out to 900 yards, and while that is an extreme distance for a hunting bullet, it’s nice to know that even at lower velocities you’ll get good performance.

CCI has long been king of the shotshell for handguns, but its engineers had been working on the next generation of products for some time. The idea was simple: deliver more power than the company's standard offerings. It's what customers wanted.

New Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, issued a pair Secretarial Orders during his first day on the job—both of which make his allegiance with American hunters very clear.

Among the products that Remington touted at its annual Writer's Seminar earlier this month was its new American Clay and Field shotshells.
