Post Falls, ID. – – G9 Defense premium defensive ammunition, is pleased to announce the introduction of Safari Ammunition with Shape Charge Technology designed for safari and dangerous game hunters. Elevate your hunting game with the Shape Charge technology from G9 – where innovation meets environmental responsibility, ensuring exceptional performance and ethical hunting practices with every shot.

Until now, safari and dangerous game hunters had a dilemma; soft point bullets created wide wound channels but lacked penetration and reliability, while solid bullets penetrated deeply but left a narrow wound. G9 Safari’s lead-free Shape Charge Technology solves this problem by offering the best of both worlds. These state-of-the-art brass bullets are designed to penetrate deeply while creating large, permanent wound cavities by forcing a hydraulic jet into the surrounding tissue. The G9 Safari ammunition’s patented shape propels fluid outward, increasing the wound diameter and ensuring devastating effectiveness. Shape Charge bullets easily cut through thick hide and heavy bone, providing consistent and reliable penetration.

Once in a lifetime hunts shouldn’t be left to chance. With G9 Defense Shape Charge Safari Ammunition, hunters no longer have to compromise between deep penetration and expansive wounds, ensuring a clean, ethical take. Hunters can trust G9’s Shape Charge Technology to deliver when it matters most.

Winchester Ammunition introduces 21 Sharp™, a new rimfire cartridge with an innovative design that provides significant benefits for recreational shooters and small game hunters.

The new cartridge is an evolution in rimfire technology and performance. Winchester engineering expertise is at the core of the 21 Sharp design, built from the ground up for enhanced accuracy and on-target performance with both lead and lead-free projectiles. Ammo manufacturers have tried with little success to incorporate lead free projectiles into use in the venerable 22 Long Rifle (LR) cartridge. While those products are available, none have ever met the accuracy and on-target performance that a lead projectile can provide due to the original 22 LR design. The new 21 Sharp rimfire cartridge from Winchester was purposefully designed by Winchester to provide top performance with lead-free projectiles rather than accommodating them later.

The new cartridge allows for a wide range of bullet types including full metal jacket (FMJ), copper matrix and plated-lead options. Jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullets will also be available in 21 Sharp, delivering extreme expansion and energy transfer.

“The 21 Sharp cartridge offers significant advantages in the rimfire category, which is one of the more popular types of firearms and ammunition used by millions of people throughout the world,” said Kyle Masinelli, Senior Director of Product Innovation and Strategy for Winchester Ammunition. “Winchester leadership in cartridge development spans more than 100 years and as the global leader in ammunition design and manufacturing; it’s our job to serve our customers with innovative products that fit their needs now and into the future. That is what has been done with 21 Sharp.”

ANOKA, Minnesota –– Hunters who want improved terminal performance and accuracy from their rifled-barrel shotguns can now load up with Federal’s Freight Train Copper Sabot Slugs. The Premium product line, designed for whitetail deer, black bears, and other big game targets, is now available at retail stores.

Freight Train Copper Sabot Slug Ammunition

Federal Premium Freight Train Copper is an all-new lineup of sabot slugs. A streamlined copper projectile and exclusive sabot design combine to help print tight groups at 200 yards through rifled barrels. A polymer tip and aerodynamic nose profile maximize downrange velocity and energy, while the externally skived nose cavity provides a dramatic expansion.

“One of the key factors to the accuracy of the new Federal Premium Freight Train is its exclusive sabot design, which improves overall accuracy through rifled barrels,” said Federal Shotshell Product Director Adam Moser. “The streamlined polypropylene tip in Federal Premium’s new Freight Train copper sabot slug also advances performance in several ways, improving accuracy, expansion, and downrange energy.” Read more
