FORT SMITH, AR – Umarex® ARX® Ammunition represents the next generation of muzzleloading and airgun hunting technology. Precision-engineered at the pioneering PolyCase® Ammunition development lab, Umarex ARX ammo incorporates patent-pending innovation that enables extreme hunting performance. Constructed from an advanced polymer-copper matrix, the Umarex ARX SpeedBand™ and SpeedBelt™bullets will revolutionize terminal performance in both muzzleloading and airgun hunting.

PolyCase ARX technology acts as a force multiplier in muzzleloader and airgun ammunition, simultaneously dispersing kinetic energy both forward and laterally. ARX non-expanding ammo provides maximum hydraulic displacement and terminal energy transfer to targets. This high velocity, flat-shooting projectile provides exceptional performance in mid and big-bore air rifles when combined with Umarex SpeedBand or SpeedBelt polymer sabots.

Umarex ARX Ammunition elevates pre-charged pneumatic air rifle performance into the 21st century with four of the most popular air rifle chamberings. The groundbreaking Umarex SpeedBand sabot was developed for use with Umarex ARX bullets in .357, .40 and .45 caliber while the base-style SpeedBelt sabot was designed for use with .50 caliber Umarex ARX ammo and performs flawlessly in both muzzleloaders and the new Umarex Hammer™.50 caliber big bore air rifle.

Grand Island, NE., – Hornady® InterBond® bullets are back and better than ever! Expanded production capacity and improved manufacturing techniques have been incorporated that assist in the return of the accurate and consistent, bonded bullet.Unlike partitioned or dual-core bullets, where the front core can separate from the bullet mass, the proprietary bonding process of the InterBond® bullet holds together in a single mass that delivers a deep, wide wound channel without over-penetrating.

The bonding process, along with a thick, stiff jacket, allows InterBond® bullets to retain more than 90% of their mass, even through hide and bones. Plus, they rapidly expand to more than twice their diameter for maximum energy transfer. Read more
