“Tag: ammunition”

Apex Ammunition has partnered with some of the industry’s finest to provide one lucky winner with all the right gear for the upcoming waterfowl season.

In my last article, I discussed two not-so-niche cartridges: the .243 Winchester and the 6mm Creedmoor. As you’ve probably guessed by now, I tend to go to extremes (it’s unintentional, I swear). This go around, we’re swinging for the fences on niche rounds: the new 8.6 Blackout (BLK) and the .338 Federal.

Federal Ammunition has launched Ultra Steel, a new shotshell line designed specifically for waterfowlers.

Introduced in 1955, the .358 Winchester shares a good number of the dimensional attributes of the .308 Winchester, including the .473-inch-diameter case head, a case length of 2.018 inches and the 20-degree shoulder which is used for headspacing.

The 27 Nosler and 6.8 Western both use the .277-inch diameter bullets made so popular by the venerable .270 Winchester, yet at faster twist rates with heavier projectiles than the old man can handle. We pit these two against one another and see which of the young upstarts comes out on top.

In honor of the 80th anniversary of Mack’s Prairie Wings and its former President and CEO, the late Marion McCollum, Winchester Ammunition has announced a special commemorative Xpert waterfowl ammunition offering available fall 2024.

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has awarded Federal Ammunition a one-year, $3.6M contract to supply SOCOM with 7.62x51mm rifle ammunition.

Winchester Ammunition has introduced a high-velocity steel shotshell for waterfowl hunters that live to hear the buzz of early-season teal.

A rimless designed made for use in the Mauser-style rifles, the .318 Westley Richards was released sometime between 1906 and 1910, and became one of the most popular medium-bore cartridges for hunting African game.
