The Heavy .45 Long Colt +P Premium Ammunition from Grizzly Brings a Higher Level of Performance to Shooters
Rainier, Ore. – Shooters of large-frame revolvers looking for heavy, .45 Colt +P ammo will find the various loads from Grizzly® Cartridge Co. live up to the exacting standards one would expect from match-quality hand loads, let alone a factory-loaded round. Whether being fired from a heavy-duty, large-frame revolver, like a Ruger Blackhawk or Super Blackhawk, or a lever-action rifle like a Marlin 1892, there is a Grizzly .45 Colt +P round perfect for your shooting needs.

The Grizzly .45 Colt is one of the more fabled calibers in history and has remained popular with revolver and lever-gun shooters for decades. The .45 Colt +P are heavy rounds and are not intended for the newer Vaquero, smaller-frame style revolvers. The heavier round is favored among shooters looking for downrange energy, such as knocking over heavier steel targets, or getting a little extra muscle for game animals in hunting situations.

Loaded with a special, custom blend of powders for extreme accuracy and muzzle velocity, you can get Grizzly’s .45 Colt +P factory loaded ammunition with precision-cast bullets in a 300-grain LFNGC round with a 1,250-fps velocity. Also available is a 335-grain WLNGC cast lead bullet with a velocity of 1,175 fps. Twenty-round boxes are available for $25.99. Like all Grizzly Cartridge Co. products, each round is loaded in the USA, and under careful guidelines set by the company founder for precision and quality. Read more

GW:  Slug guns are not as popular in Michigan, as they’ve been in the past with new regulations permitting the use of some heavy-hitting straight-wall centerfires in the Lower Peninsula.  But, for those still using smoothbores, rifled chokes, or even fully rifled barrels, here’s another ammo option.

EAST ALTON, Ill.  – Shotgun slug technology has certainly advanced over time and Winchester Ammunition is at the forefront of product innovation. The Deer Season slug benefits from those technological advancements and is an ideal option for deer hunters throughout North America.

The Deer Season Slug is new for 2018 and looks similar to a traditional Foster-style slug, but is unique in that it is paired with a rear stabilizer that is inserted into the heel of the projectile.  The slug and stabilizer travel as one downrange, resulting in accuracy that deer hunters need in the field.  In addition, this shotshell is designed to be used in smooth bore, rifled choke tube or fully rifled barrels to make ammunition selection easier than ever for deer hunters.  Additionally, the large diameter impact tip of the slug will provide rapid energy transfer on deer.

Deer Season Slug is packed five rounds to a box and will be available to hunters for as little as $6-$7/box. Read more
