“Tag: Precision Hunter”

Our man returns to the rugged stretch of Idaho that his hunting party narrowly escaped last season in search of success on a mountain muley.

Curious about what loads to buy for hunting at greater distances? Here are a few of our top choices for the task.

Built using all the knowledge ballisticians have gained over years of collecting data, the 6.5 PRC is one of the most perfect hybrid hunting/long-range target rounds ever conceived.

Based upon the success of the initial developments, Hornady has added nine new calibers to its Precision Hunter line.

Most modern bullets use polymer tips, but polymer melts at 320-345 degrees Fahrenheit, while bullets can reach temperatures greater than 800 degrees during flight. To counter this, Hornady created the ELD-X hunting bullet with its Heat Shield Tip, which sports a melting point above 700 degrees and degrades far less, making for a more accurate bullet with a higher ballistic coefficient. The company then loaded it in its Hornady Precision Hunter ammo line.

Hornady's Precision Hunter line was already due to expand in 2017, with the addition of .270 Winchester, 7mm-08 Remington, .280 Remington, .300 Winchester Short Magnum and .300 Weatherby Magnum. But, thanks to the skyrocketing interest in 6mm Creedmoor, the folks from Grand Island, Neb., are adding it to the line, too.

For 2017, Hornady has decided to expand its Precision Hunter line of ammunition to include five new cartridges.

After a couple months of work identifying and installing performance-enhancing components, Joe Kurtenbach's bargain bolt-action rifle is ready for the range and woods. Get a closer look at the finished product with this video from American Rifleman.

Despite the demands of searching for the perfect utilitarian scope, it needed to be affordable and offer real bang for the buck.
