Let’s take a look at some of the best choices for a heavy rifle for African hunting.

Handgun hunters looking for a bullet capable of deep penetration and effective expansion have a new option in Federal Premium's Vital-Shok.

So, apparently some of you felt left out in the first installment of this piece, and the powers that be have allowed me to extend the party, so as to include you in the festivities.
