Safari Club International (SCI) and the Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation filed a motion to intervene in support of the New Jersey Fish and Game Council’s well-reasoned denial of a petition seeking to ban use of traditional lead ammunition for hunting in the Garden State.

Petitioners Center for a Humane Economy and Animal Wellness Action—founded by former Humane Society CEO Wayne Pacelle—called for a broad ban on use of traditional ammunition for hunting. Petitioners alleged that traditional ammunition threatens wildlife, public health, and the environment. However, the New Jersey Fish and Game Council rejected the petition, finding that it lacked sufficient scientific support and failed to justify the proposed regulatory changes.

SCI’s motion to intervene explains that the petitioners did not present credible scientific evidence demonstrating population-level harm to wildlife or documented impacts to habitat or human health resulting from the use of traditional ammunition. Read more

Federal Ammunition today announced it has executed an agreement that allows the United States Army to utilize its patented Peak Alloy ammunition case technology for use in multiple cartridges and weapon systems. The new agreement specifies conditions necessary prior to granting Government Purpose Rights, such as the delivery of 40 million cases featuring technology.

Peak Alloy was first introduced in the commercial market in 2025 with the all new 7mm Backcountry. It is a high-strength, proprietary steel alloy casing that enables significantly higher chamber pressure — in excess of 80,000 PSI — than traditional brass for higher velocities in smaller, lighter, shorter-barreled rifles typically configured for suppressors.
