Cartridge Comparison Guide Completes Poster Series for Wildcat and Proprietary Cartridges

Morgan, Utah – –Cartridge Comparison Guide, the ultimate hunting & ballistics source built to help shooters maximize their benefits from cartridge capabilities and ballistic understanding, has just completed their series of Wildcat and Proprietary Cartridge Posters. Consisting of four posters, this series displays more than 850 unique rifle cartridges covering almost everything from .08 caliber rat-pistol cartridges built from necked down 22 LRs, 22 Mags, and 25 Autos up to extreme Long Range and monstrous Dangerous Game cartridges based on the 378 Weatherby, 416 Rigby, and 585 Wells.

The poster series is an excellent visual tool for hunters and shooters trying to maximize ballistic potential by asking, “What if I did this?” or, “Could I do that?” The cartridges are necked down, necked up, blown out, shoulders improved, and any other manipulation convention allows. The Big Bore Wildcat Poster also includes the 1-inch diameter 4 bore and ­­­30mm fired from the A-10 Warthog. Read more

New Civic Duty Self-Defense Round

Winder, GA- G2 Research–introduces its NEW Civic Duty round for serious self- defense. Designed to reliably and quickly expand to 2.5 times its caliber, this new round delivers incredible attack stopping energy, large wound area and excellent penetration.

A “humble” 100-grain 9mm Civic Duty bullet will open up to 0.855 inches, creating a near-instant fight-stopping wound by effectively delivering all of its energy inside the target.

The Civic Duty bullet is a solid copper, CNC-machined bullet that upon entering the target immediately begins expansion as a large hollow point. At initial contact, six large petals of the jacket peel back to create a fight-stopping wound. Unlike conventional hollow point bullets – which may not expand reliably due to clothing filling up the hollow point, the Civic Duty will indeed reliably open up because of its peeling petal design.

Alternative Ammunition Manufacturing Act Introduced

On October 15, H.R. 3802, the Alternative Ammunition Manufacturing Act was introduced by Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC) Member Congressman Brian Babin (TX).  Under the Gun Control Act of 1968, ammunition composed of alternative materials is illegal to import, manufacture and sell unless it receives a “sporting purposes” exemption from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

Currently, the ATF has received 32 petitions from ammunition manufacturers and has given no indication on when they will make a determination on whether they qualify for the “sporting purposes exemption.” The Alternative Ammunition Manufacturing Act will ensure that the ATF processes petitions by ammunition manufacturers in an expedient manner, which will allow for additional alternative ammunition to be brought to market. If an application for an exemption does not receive a ruling by the ATF within 60 days, the application will be automatically approved.

ELD-X™ (Extremely Low Drag – eXpanding) Bullets

The ELD-X™ bullet is a technologically advanced, match accurate, all-range hunting bullet featuring highest-in-class ballistic coefficients and consistent, controlled expansion at all practical hunting distances.

Hornady® engineers discovered that conventional bullet tip materials in streamlined, high BC bullets melt and deform– no matter the brand or manufacturer. Although not a significant issue affecting moderate BC conventional tipped varmint and hunting bullets, aerodynamic heating causes BC reduction and degradation of accuracy, particularly at extended ranges (400 yds +). To counter this effect, Hornady® identified a heat resistant polymer and developed the patent pending Heat Shield™ tip. This revolutionary new tip creates the perfect meplat (tip) with exceptionally consistent results from bullet to bullet and lot to lot. Read more

380 Xtreme Defense (XD) Ammunition from Lehigh Defense

Lehigh Defense gave the 380 life with our Xtreme Penetrator Technology; now, we have given the 380 Attitude!

The goal was to reduce the depth of penetration to coincide with an individual’s personal comfort level (PCL) for penetration depth, while maintaining or improving the barrier performance of our XP product line. A secondary goal was to significantly increase the size of the Permanent Wound Cavity (PWC) as compared to the XP. We did not just meet these goals; we blew these goals out of the water! Read more
