The modern trend in cartridge design is to shun the belted magnum case to avoid the stretching associated with it, and embrace the beltless, rimless designs. If you agree with that sentiment, the 28 Nosler will appeal to you.

If you’re in the market for a cartridge that will do double duty in both the hunting fields and on the target range, with a bit more horsepower than the Creedmoor provides, the 6.5 PRC is worth a hard look.

The new NitroFire and FireStick system keeps ignition consistent by protecting the powder, even during storage; the loading process is easy, and the primer can be left in the FireStick or removed without compromising the charge; and the system doesn’t restrict the choice of bullets and 209 muzzleloader primers, meaning hunters can stick with proven favorites.

The .204 Ruger occupies the space between the .22 centerfires and the .17s, giving fantastic results on varmints and predators alike without the wind deflection issues of the .17s and less recoil than the .22 centerfires.

With demand for both ammunition and reloading components peaking due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Hodgdon Powder Company, Inc. (Hodgdon) was designated an essential business, and is doing its part to ensure products are available to consumers while protecting its employees, distributors and customers.

Here’s a look at the revolutionary new firearms, optics and gear for 2020 that will change the way you hunt.

The all-new FireStick gives not only the consistency any muzzleloading rifle aficionado will appreciate, but this may the most weatherproof system of charging that has ever been developed.

Traditions has partnered with Federal Premium and Hodgdon Powder to create a muzzleloader which promises added safety, reliability and consistency.

Federal's new FireStick is the critical component of a whole new muzzleloading ignition system that uses an encapsulated propellant charge that loads from the breech, with the bullet inserted from the muzzle.
