Apex Ammunition is now shipping its non-toxic, ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot (TSS), TSS / S3 Steel Blend, and S3 Steel Waterfowl loads, all featuring the Tungsten-grade wad system used in the company’s Turkey TSS loads to deliver tight patterns and improved barrel protection.

Here are five unyielding lead turkey loads to accompany you in the woods this spring.

For 2020, Kent Cartridge has expanded its Fasteel 2.0 line with three more selections.

Federal’s new Black Cloud TSS ammo blends the company’s super-dense Heavyweight TSS pellets with its existing Black Cloud steel FliteStopper pellets to maintain velocity farther, hit harder and penetrate deeper than any waterfowl load ever has.

The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute has released new cartridge and chamber designs for Federal’s new 12-gauge, 1¾-inch Shorty shotshell.

Built on Henry’s Classic Lever Action .22 platform, the new Garden Gun Smoothbore .22 is purpose-built for close-range pest control using .22 LR shotshell cartridges.

Although just 1.75-inch long, Federal’s new Shorty shotshells offer similar patterns, energy and accuracy as full-size counterparts, and are perfect for teaching new hunters how to handle a full-sized shotgun.

When Winchester first released its popular Varmint X line of ammunition, the engineers were going for something fast and flat with minimal recoil. What wasn't offered in the original Varmint X line, though, was ammunition for those who prefer to deploy their favorite scattergun against feral hogs, coyotes and other predators. That's changing in 2016, as Winchester has officially announced a new 12-gauge shotshell addition to the Varmint X line.

In this, its 150th year in business, the history of Winchester firearms is well known. After all, “The gun that won the west” was a Winchester, the Model 1873. The Winchester Model 70 is known as the “Rifleman’s Rifle” and the Model 1894 is perhaps the most successful sporting rifle in history. The company also shook up the scattergun market with classic shotguns like the Model 1897, Model 21 and Model 12. The raw truth, however, is that none of these guns could have made their mark in history without ammo to shoot out of them. It’s kind of the red-headed stepchild in terms of glory and glamor, but Winchester has been in the ammo business as long as they have been in the gun business.
