New HEVI-Shot HEVI-Steel Upland Loads Now Available

HEVI-Shot launches a new product line called HEVI-Steel Upland. The two new high-velocity, 12-gauge dove and quail loads feature precision steel pellets, dependable ignition, and a unique HEVI-Shot wad to produce exceptionally tight patterns. This new product line is now available at select dealers and online. Check with your local ammo store for availability.

“When a dove races across a field or a covey of quail erupts at your feet, speed matters. That’s why we push HEVI-Steel Upland faster than competing steel loads,” said Dan Compton, HEVI-Shot’s Shotshell Product Director. “The velocity boost we gave these loads makes it easier to connect on hard-flying birds and delivers more energy on impact. They are perfect for upland hunters looking for a good, non-toxic, steel-shot option at a competitive price point.”

Aided by HEVI-Shot’s best-in-class wad and precision manufacturing techniques, HEVI-Steel Upland hits hard every time. Its high velocity of 1,350 feet per second (fps) provides ideal downrange energy. The two new 12-gauge, 2-3/4-inch loads will be available in shot size No 6 or 7 and sold in a 25-count box.

Independence Day Shoot

Independence Day Shoot
July 4th, 2024

By Glen Wunderlich

Charter Member Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA)

A few close friends and I participated in my annual 4th of July shoot in Shiawassee County, Michigan.  All calibers were welcomed and ran the gamut from .22 rimfire to .300 Winchester and .45-70 calibers.  Distance ranged to a maximum of 280 yards with lots of inter-active targets of water filled-vessels.  A few out-of-the-box rifles in .22-250 and .223 Remington were bore sighted and dialed in for their maximum point-blank range.  A couple of cannon blasts began the festivities and shook neighboring windows.  What the heck…it’s only once a year!

The shoot gives us an opportunity to shoot big-game rifles, which are not legal to hunt deer in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan but are legal for varmints of all size – and, of course, all the target shooing one’s shoulder can bear.

My .45-70 J.D. Jones’ custom Contender is always a big hit – especially on a ballistic-steel, resetting popper at 200 yards.  As J.D. Jones once said, “You’ve got a tiger by the tail”, when it comes to this heavy-hitting hand cannon, and some were initiated to the experience.

No rapid-fire shenanigans.  Just controlled trigger work – all day long!

Perfect Case Preparation with the Hornady Lineup of Case Prep Tools

Hornady® Reloading understands the importance of case prep in developing consistent reloads. Case prep includes trimming, resizing, cleaning, and deburring fired cases. Hornady offers a wide range of case prep tools available to produce high-quality brass consistently.

The Lock-N-Load® Power Case Prep Center is a one-stop solution to case prep. It features a micro-adjustable trimmer, powerful motor, metal shaving catch tray, and various case cleaning accessories. It takes up a minimal amount of bench space at a fraction of the size of other tools. In addition, the system is capable of handling a variety of cartridges with interchangeable shell holders. Included are large and small primer pocket cleaners, six-neck brushes, and an assortment of shell holders.

Hornady Digital Cases and Parts Dryer ensures brass and firearms parts are completely dry after sonic cleaning. It consists of four fixed trays and one tray with a removable mesh. There is plenty of room to dry cases and larger gun parts. Load the trays with cases, choose from one of the seven temperature settings, and select the desired time. Dry brass prevents oxidation from occurring and results in higher-quality reloads. Read more

Federal Ammunition Punch 25 Auto Solid Now Available

ANOKA, Minnesota –– Federal Ammunition adds a 25 Auto 45 Grain, Solid load to its popular Punch Personal Defense product line. This new load is now available at select dealers.

“The primary purpose of our Punch product line is to provide an easy answer to the question of ‘What ammo should I use for defense?’ for each cartridge. As such, the product line can feature any bullet design from expanding hollow points to deeper penetrating solids,” said Federal’s Handgun Product Manager Chris Laack. “Much like we discovered while developing the 22 LR Punch, the tiny 25 Auto cartridge provides limited potential to work with. Even the best 25-caliber hollow point bullet may not reliably expand; if it does, the penetration depth is minimal. We found this round’s most effective defense bullet to be a non-expanding solid. The results outperform competitors’ rounds in this cartridge.”

Punch draws from Federal Ammunition’s decades of experience designing the world’s finest defensive handgun loads. It features ultra-effective bullets for terminal performance and quality brass and sealed primers to deliver the reliable feeding and ignition needed when it counts the most.

Federal successfully launched Its Punch line in 2020, and today, the product lineup includes seven cartridge options. The new Punch 25 Auto, 45 Grain, Solid load is available in 20-count boxes at an MSRP of $23.99. Read more

Federal Ammunition HammerDown 45 Colt Now Available

ANOKA, Minnesota –– Federal Ammunition’s HammerDown is the industry’s only ammunition product line truly designed for optimal cycling and overall performance in the time-tested, lever-action rifle platform. Federal successfully launched Its HammerDown line in 2020, and today, the product lineup now includes seven cartridge options. The latest 45 Colt, 250 Grain load is now available at select dealers.

“We are thrilled to add the 45 Colt, designed for lever-action rifles, to our HammerDown lineup. This is another popular straight-wall cartridge that hunters and shooters are actively seeking out,” said Federal Ammunition Handgun Product Manager Chris Laack. “One of the enhanced design features found in all HammerDown ammo is that we chamfered the front face of the case rim on all the nickel-plated cases. This removes any sharp edges to increase the reliability of feeding. All the benefits HammerDown delivers will greatly enhance your shooting experience.”

The velocities of HammerDown are customized to produce superior ballistics and terminal performance through lever-action barrel lengths. The construction of the molecularly bonded soft point bullets has also been adjusted for the best accuracy and expansion at those velocities. The geometry of each round’s case, bullet and cartridge ensures flawless cycling through tubular magazine and typical lever-action feeding systems.

HammerDown is now offered in 45-70 Govt., 444 Marlin, 30-30 Win., 357 Magnum, 327 Federal and 44 Rem. Magnum, and .45 Colt. Read more
