Bend, Ore –– Nosler’s successful AccuBond® Long Range (ABLR) bullet line is welcoming two much anticipated bullets to the existing lineup with the 30-168gr and 338-265gr ABLR. The 30-168gr ABLR was designed to maximize downrange performance in cartridges with less than magnum case capacities, such as the ubiquitous 308 Winchester and 30-06. With a remarkable B.C. and moderate weight, this bullet will push the boundaries further than ever before.For .338 caliber enthusiasts, the long awaited 338-265gr ABLR is now part of the lineup as well. This bullet is the perfect complement to .338 cartridges with large case capacity, such as the recently introduced 33 Nosler, and is the ideal solution for long range shots. The 265gr ABLR also has high weight for caliber and a high BC, which produces exceptional external ballistics. Read more

Bend, Ore—— Nosler Inc. announced today the release of the 22 Nosler®, a new cartridge designed to transform any standard AR-15 into the fastest, most powerful .22 caliber available for the platform, with the least amount of modification. The new addition to Nosler’s cartridge family, which also features optimized 6.5mm, 7mm, 30 caliber and .338 magnum class rounds, delivers 30% more energy and is nearly 300 fps faster than a 223 Remington/ 5.56 NATO.Born from the idea of creating the most powerful .22 caliber centerfire cartridge that would readily function in the AR platform, the 22 Nosler’s case design takes advantage of the AR-15’s unparalleled modularity, making the conversion from a standard 223 Remington/ 5.56 NATO to the 22 Nosler® simple, requiring only a swap of the upper to the new chambering and switching out to a 6.8 Rem SPC magazine.

Constructed from an advanced polymer-copper matrix, the Umarex ARX SpeedBand™ and SpeedBelt™bullets will revolutionize terminal performance in both muzzleloading and airgun hunting.

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.
