PolyCase Ammunition – Loading Revolutionary Ammunition for the 21st Century

PolyCase Ammunition’s Cu/P material –– a proprietary lead-free copper alloy with a high-tensile strength nylon binder developed specifically for projectiles –– produces lighter, faster, extremely accurate yet cost competitive bullets. Those bullets, engineered to display uniformity in concentricity and weight, fly faster and flatter, resulting in higher velocities and match-grade accuracy. Initially loaded in the traditional pistol calibers Inceptor by PolyCase cartridges feature four bullet profiles:

The non-expanding patent-pending, ARX™ (Advanced Rotation eXtreme) establishes itself as the ideal self-defense projectile with a revolutionary design that transfers both rotational and directional force to targets and produces exceptional penetration while mitigating the risk of over penetration. Currently available in the traditional pistol calibers of .380 Auto, 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 Auto, rifle cartridges ship in the next few months. Watch the ballistics test of the 9mm Luger 74 Grain ARX here. Read more

Nosler Adds New Bullets to Existing Product Lines

Bend, OR- Nosler® has been in the bullet business for 67 years so when they find a new bullet worthy of being added to their existing product line, they get pretty excited. The bullets detailed below are exceptional examples of how a component bullet can squeeze even more performance out of a firearm and deservedly belong to the respected class of Nosler® hunting bullets.

AccuBond® Long Range
The AccuBond® Long Range bullet line is relatively young but it was obvious that a heavier bullet was needed to take full advantage of the large powder capacity of the 26 Nosler® cartridge introduced last year. With a massive ballistic coefficient, this new 6.5mm-142 grain ABLR will provide more energy and less drop at longer ranges than any other bullet in its class and will stabilize in standard 1-9″ barrels.

E-Tip®
Nosler’s patent pending E-Tip® bullet is built on a highly concentric structure of monolithic gilding metal, providing unsurpassed penetration and weight retention. The new 55 grain E-Tip® will turn a traditional .22 centerfire varmint cartridge into a bona fide deer cartridge. The new .30 caliber, 150 grain E-Tip® will also dramatically increase penetration capabilities of the honored 30/30 Winchester. Last but certainly not least, the venerable .338 caliber, 225 grain E-Tip® with a B.C. of .611 and over 95% weight retention offers “heavy” bullet benefits with “lighter” bullet velocities.

Ballistic Tip®
.458 SOCOM enthusiasts quickly discovered that the Ballistic Tip® Muzzleloader bullet that Nosler® introduced in 2012 was a natural fit for their needs and purposes since both platforms utlize the same caliber and similar muzzle velocities for optimal accuracy and terminal performance. Nosler® has now taken the Ballistic Tip® Muzzleloader bullet and boxed it in component form (sans sabot) for more economical use, benefitting the high volume shooting .458 SOCOM aficionados.

Huntington Takes .38 Special Wadcutters Out To 100 Yards

In the latest video in the “Roy’s Insider Tips” series, American Handgunner Publisher Roy Huntington examines the effectiveness of .38 Special wadcutters at 100 yards. He uses a Smith & Wesson 6″ Model 14 and a 2 1/4″ J-Frame loaded with Federal Gold Medal Match and Black Hills Ammo 148-grain midrange target wadcutters – and had a lot of fun while testing this pair of sixguns.

“Shooting should be about fun, and fun should be their middle name when it comes to .38 Special target wadcutters,” Roy says. “These low recoil, accurate loads are perfect for honing your target shooting skills, plinking and even some small-game hunting. I used to compete in PPC shooting where we used .38 Special wadcutters out to 50 yards. But I knew they could do well at 100, and our latest video shows not only how accurate they can be ‘out there’ but ramps up the fun factor even more.” Read more
