Hardware: Henry Model H010

Hardware: Federal Premium .223 Rem. Trophy Bonded Tip
If you’re someone who desires low recoil, be it from necessity or preference, or simply a hunter who’s keen on AR platforms, this little bullet can get the job done on small- to medium-sized game at close to moderate ranges.

Hardware: Winchester Copper Impact
Winchester has revamped its monometal performer in the new Copper Impact ammunition line, expanding the game-taking ability of its tried and tested Copper Extreme Point bullet introduced in 2018. No matter your quarry, you won’t be disappointed with its performance.
