“penetration”

Federal Ammunition has announced two new No. 1 Buck loads: the 12-gauge, Premium No. 1 Buck Load, and the 12-gauge, Power-Shok No. 1 Buck load.

Contributor Dennis Bradley compares two big-bore powerhouses: the .45-70 Government and a relative newcomer, the .458 SOCOM.

The .303 British has a deeply rooted history in the era of exploration and is tied to the adventurers and hunters who headed to the wilds.

While felt recoil levels are somewhat subjective, across a wide spectrum, there are several cartridges that have garnered a reputation for being "sweet shooting." Here’s a look at our top 10 choices.

The 4mm Axis Long Rang promises to offer bowhunters even more of what they want in a micro-diameter arrow, by utilizing a lighter-weight carbon for more speed to the target, in order to drive broadheads deeper upon impact.

Here’s a detailed look at the top black bear cartridges for rifles and handguns.

Speer Ammunition has announced its Gold Dot Carbine ammo. Tuned specifically for carbine-length barrels and velocities, this 9mm Luger comes loaded with 135-grain projectiles, for an expected muzzle velocity around 1170 fps.

Barnett has debuted its Hyper Raptor Crossbow. With a lightweight composite riser and measuring just over seven inches axle-to-axle when cocked, the crossbow provides maneuverability in tight-quartered hunting spaces.

When hunters are toting their trusty bear-defense handguns outside of the backcountry, its often wise to change out ammunition—away from hard-nosed, monolithic rounds that focus primarily on penetrating thick skull plates and the like. Federal Premium is helping hunters do exactly that, with the addition of Personal Defense HST 357 Magnum and 327 Federal Magnum.
