Federal Expands Syntech Ammunition Line

ANOKA, Minnesota – – Federal Ammunition is pleased to announce a new addition to its full line of Syntech handgun ammunition. Look for Syntech in a variety of the most popular loads, including the new 124-grain 9mm Luger. Shipments are being delivered to dealers.

Conventional ammunition causes metal-on-metal contact between the bullet and bore, which can shorten barrel life and hurt accuracy. The polymer-encapsulated Syntech bullet prevents this, while eliminating copper and lead fouling. Combined with clean-burning powders, your gun will stay cleaner, longer, so you can shoot more—and shoot better. The exclusive Catalyst primer provides the cleanest most consistent ignition possible—that’s why it received the 2017 NRA Golden Bullseye Award. Read more

Nosler Increases Reduced Drag Factor Bullet Line Offerings

Bend, Ore –– Nosler®, Inc. announces the expansion of the very popular Reduced Drag Factor™ (RDF) product line to include new bullet calibers and weights that are in high demand from customers. These new additions include the following in both 100 count and 500 count boxes:
  • 22cal 85gr.—G1 Ballistic Coefficient 0.498 | G7 Ballistic Coefficient .245
  • 6.5mm 130gr.— G1 Ballistic Coefficient 0.615 | G7 Ballistic Coefficient .307
  • 7mm 185gr.—BC field verification in process
  • 30cal 210gr.— BC field verification in process

 

The RDF line was designed from the ground up by Nosler’s world-class team of engineers with the goal of delivering exceptionally high BCs that result in the flattest trajectory and least wind drift possible. Several key design factors contribute to the RDF’s game-changing performance. Nosler’s meticulously optimized compound ogive, which bridges traditional tangent and secant bullet shapes, is insensitive to seating depth, allowing handloaders to seat bullets to magazine length with no loss of accuracy due to bullet jump. Also lending itself to the bullet’s sleek form factor is a long, drag reducing boat-tail, making the product optimal for long range efficiency. Read more
