Carbon-wrapped barrels and stocks have become increasingly common in a number of custom and semi-custom rifles from boutique manufacturers. The AllTerra Carbon, however, is the only rifle we’re aware of with all the accuracy-enhancing features it includes. If you appreciate the ultimate in field accuracy wrapped in a practical carrying package, this rifle is worth a close look. And you have 90 days to test-drive it, risk-free.

With modern factory ammo performing at levels unheard of 50 years ago, fewer shooters are taking up the art of handloading. However, there’s still a market for hunters demanding the precision and specifications from their ammo that only handloading can deliver.

Whether you are a hunter, target shooter, competitor or all of the above, you need to be aware of the trends developing in the ammunition industry, as simply buying the same ammo you always have might mean giving up accuracy and performance.

Hornady’s new Superformance hunting loads raise ammo performance to the next level.
