As companies prepare to roll out their new products at SHOT Show 2018, we take a look back at the some of the most innovative hunting products introduced over the last year.

Take a look at the construction and conformation of several popular bullet types to ensure you make the right choice for your next varmint hunt.

Based on the 6.8 SPC cartridge, the new .224 Valkyrie is designed to give excellent long-range ballistics from an AR platform, with little recoil.

The 22 Nosler and .224 Valkyrie are both viable for long-range shooting and run at very similar velocities, so which gets the nod?

The list of advantages held by the .224 Valkyrie starts with ballistic performance that’s more like the .22-250 Rem. than the .223 Rem. Loaded with 60- to 90-grain bullets, the .224 Valkyrie was developed by Federal Premium to bring more power to the AR-15 platform.

These five revolutionary hunting cartridges released since Y2K have undoubtedly earned their spot among the classics.

New bullets and loads can increase accuracy and minimize pelt damage. The best varmint ammo depends on your needs. Here’s a guide to help you find a match.

For 2019, Federal has brought back the popular Barnes TSX, an all-copper hollow point that groups tightly at long range and delivers consistent, lethal expansion.

Sierra introduces its new GameChanger ammunition, topped with the polymer-tipped boattail GameChanger bullet, essentially a tipped GameKing. The brass casings feature the Sierra headstamp and carry on the tradition of fantastic accuracy that the company has rightfully earned.
