Hardware: New Mossberg Patriot

For 95 years Mossberg has supplied hardworking Americans with hardworking and affordable firearms, but only recently has the company become a serious player in the centerfire rifle market. This year at SHOT Show Mossberg will introduce what might be considered the pinnacle of its sporting rifle efforts, the Patriot.

First Look: Nosler/Noveske .300 AAC Blackout Subsonic Hunting Ammo

Nosler and Noveske team up to offer new .300 AAC Blackout hunting loads, which include a first-ever, expanding subsonic bullet.

First Look: Full Boar Ammo from Hornady

Eight loads of hog whacking perfection.

Hardware: EOTech Model 518

Modern shooters have found the AR, combined with holographic or reflex sights, a better mousetrap. What’s been missing is the icing on the cake, an AR optic that offers rapid, up-close sighting and precision, long-range engagement. Enter EOTech.

First Look: New Federal Premium .30-30 Win. Trophy Copper Load

Federal applies modern technology to a classic cartridge.

Hardware: Hornady Custom Lite

Newton’s third law of motion pronounces that to every action there is always opposed an equal reaction. This basic law of physics applies to rifles. The reaction to the bullet speeding down the barrel is recoil pushing against your shoulder. The more recoil you experience, the more likely you are to flinch. Hornady’s new Custom Lite ammunition is designed to reduce the likelihood of that flinch—or possibly even eliminate it.

Bullet Bio: Remington Core-Lokt

In 1939, the .308 Win. had not been invented yet, and it would be 23 more years before anyone heard of the Remington Model 700. However, 1939 was the year Remington would change hunting history with the introduction of the Core-Lokt.

Bullet Bio: Nosler Partition

The Nosler Partition was the first serious step forward with regard to premium hunting projectiles. 69 years later it remains the hunting bullet by which all others are judged.

Bullet Bio: Barnes Tipped Triple-Shock

The Tipped Triple-Shock is a descendant of the original Barnes X-Bullet. Like the X-Bullet the Triple-Shock is an all-copper projectile with a small hollow cavity at the front. But, unlike its predecessor, the caliber diameter body of the Tipped Triple-Shock is ringed with grooves to help reduce fouling and improve accuracy.

Bullet Bio: Remington AccuTip

A little known fact is that the Remington AccuTip bullet is actually made for Remington by Hornady. In fact, the Remington AccuTip bullet is nothing more than a Hornady SST bullet with a greenish tip instead of a red tip. Now, while this might surprise some of you, it should not detract from your opinion of this bullet.
