PolyCase Ammunition – Loading Revolutionary Ammunition for the 21st Century

Savannah, GA – PolyCase Ammunition, makers of ammunition for the 21st century, announces the launch of its revolutionary Inceptor™ by PolyCase line of ammunition. Lead free, environmentally safe and range compliant, Inceptor by PolyCase ammunition features their patent-pending Cu/P™ projectiles, produced by a patent-pending, technologically advanced and fully automated injection-molding process, loaded to SAAMI specs in high quality brass cases.

“PolyCase Ammunition approaches ammunition from a different method, leveraging highly engineered designs, advanced materials and patent-pending precision injection molding techniques to create polymer-based components with sound terminal performance. We carefully consider and determine all aspects of how our products are made, to how they function, and own and control the research, development, rapid prototyping, testing and manufacturing processes. From the drawing board up to the finished product, we produce components that are easy to load, durable and highly effective,” said PolyCase Founder and CEO, Paul Lemke.

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.

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

SIG SAUER® Introduces 10mm Elite Performance Ammunition

Newington, NH – SIG SAUER, Inc., designer and manufacturer of the world’s most reliable firearms, accessories, and ammunition, continues to expand its Elite Performance Ammunition line with the introduction of two new 10mm options – a 180gr 10mm Elite Performance V-Crown™ Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) and a 180gr Elite Performance Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) premium target load.

The 10mm Elite Performance V-Crown JHP is an extremely accurate load delivering consistent expansion. A distinct advantage of the SIG V-Crown is the toothed cannelure located halfway up the shank of the bullet. Its location more effectively locks the jacket and lead/alloy core, providing exceptional structural integrity in a jacketed bullet. This design ensures maximum weight retention and energy on impact. The proprietary SIG V-Crown stacked hollow point bullet design, along with the V-shaped jacket skives, aids in providing controlled, uniform expansion. DUCTA-BRIGHT 7A™ coated brass cases also provide enhanced lubricity, offering superior corrosion resistance, and more reliable feeding and extraction in semi-automatic pistols.

Designed for the AR-15 platform, this subsonic round features a 220gr Open Tip Match (OTM) bullet with the SIG SAUER proprietary lead/alloy core for improved accuracy. This low-recoil cartridge is ideal for use with a silencer, which greatly reduces sound signature and muzzle flash, making it a favorite among target shooters who want to protect their hearing and tactical shooters who want to minimize noise and flash signatures. Additionally, a significant number of modern sporting rifle hunters also favor this cartridge for limited hunting applications.

And, if they don’t already own a modern sporting rifle chambered in 300 Blackout, all they have to do is change the uppers of their AR-15 to convert.”
