“ranges”

Some bucks have a different fall range from their summer range and the two ranges don’t always overlap. There is nothing you can really do about either.

Grand old cartridges like the .30-06 Sprg. and the .270 Win. still kill game just as well as they ever have, but many of the new cartridges out-perform them, especially at extended ranges. Here are a few reasons why.

SIG Sauer is diversifying its big-game ammunition with Elite Hunter Tipped, a new line engineered for versatile performance at all effective ranges, and especially when long-range precision is critical.

Hornady’s new Handgun Hunter load marries a solid mono-metal design with an elastomer-filled cavity, allowing for rapid, reliable expansion at close ranges and the slower velocities typical of handgun calibers.

The Trijicon RMR (Rugged Miniaturized Reflex) Sight is a lightweight, user-friendly LED sight with 1x magnification that makes target acquisition a breeze, yet allows for precise shot placement at further ranges.

Driving a 40-grain bullet at a muzzle velocity of between 1875 and 1910 fps, if you desire to pursue furbearers and varmints at ranges beyond what the .22 LR can handle, the .22 WMR is your cartridge.

When hunting big game in British Columbia, prepare for shots that can push the limits of your effective range. Of course, using a bullet that is effective at all ranges isn’t a bad idea, either.

Leupold has announced the launch of a brand-new Mark 4HD family of riflescopes. The Mark 4HD series features a 4:1 zoom ratio and five magnification ranges, yielding an accurate and reliable option for close-quarter targeting, long-range dominance and everything in between.

Last year CCI released its .17 HMR load with the Speer VNT bullet; the polymer tip helps to retain velocity at further ranges, and the thin, frangible jacket gives near-explosive performance on game. For 2019, CCI has expanded the line with two new offerings: the .17 Mach 2 and the .22 WMR.
