If you inspect your target between groups, your barrel should cool sufficiently.

Is Hornady's Precision Hunter line the ultimate long-range rifle load for hunters?

Ammunition companies have been trying for decades to build a better bullet, especially the tipped variety. There are plenty of options on shelves, and for most hunters there’s no reason to upgrade. But wait. What about those seeking perfection and wanting to push the envelope to 600 yards or beyond? That’s the trend today.

Savage Arms has announced that it will be offering four bolt-action, long-range, chassis precision rifles for 2017. Two calibers will be available in short-action and two calibers will be available in long-action.

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

GPO USA, a new entrant into the premium optics industry, has introduced its Passion HD binocular lineup. The German-designed binos are meant to combine quality, features, price and value in a package that hopes to woo American hunters.

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.

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.
