Cortland, NY…….New for 2015, Redding has introduced a pair of innovative Micrometer Adjusting Profile Crimp Dies for the two most popular revolver cartridges used in competitive shooting today. These are top adjusting with no need to remove the die and reposition the lock ring like traditional crimp dies when setting a proper crimp.

High volume, progressive reloaders have struggled for years with the realities of case variation and the resulting difficulties in obtaining a uniform crimp. Case length is not the only variable, as case neck wall thickness also impacts where the case intersects the die’s tapered crimping surface.

The process of traditional taper crimp die adjustment is generally both time consuming and imprecise due to the 1 in 14″ thread pitch coupled with the need to reposition the lock ring after each adjustment. Read more

Winder, GA–G2 Research announces an absolutely revolutionary cold tracer round for handguns.

Through chemical research and applied ignition, G2 Research, the makers of the new R.I.P self-defense round and .300 Ripout Round, have invented a NO HEAT NO FLAME tracer round for the 9mm (.45 ACP coming later). Designed to emit a bright tracer effect for 50-100 yards, testing shows that the round stays visible in the dark up to 200 yards (for anyone who “wants” to shoot a handgun 200 yards in the dark).

But wait, there’s more!

Because the new G2 tracer round is a cold tracer that literally emits no heat or flame, shooters can now visually follow training or self-defense rounds in low light or dark conditions without worrying about burning down their range or neighborhood. Now “tracer” ammunition can even be safely fired at indoor ranges with no fear of fire from the tracer element. There is also no damage to the inside of the firearm from tracer component ignition during firing or while in the barrel. Read more
