Redding Offers 358/25 WSSM Reloading Dies

Redding Reloading Equipment

Cortland, NY --(AmmoLand.com)- Redding Reloading Equipment has responded to the requirements of Indiana Deer Hunters with the addition of the 358/25 WSSM to their line of regular production “Custom Series” reloading dies.
The new die sets are available as full length sizing , neck size and a three die deluxe set including both full length and neck sizing dies plus a seating die with crimp.

This wildcat cartridge has gained great favor as an alternative to standard handgun calibers under Indiana’s Regulation, allowing the use of cartridges with a bullet diameter of .357 or larger and a maximum case length of 1.625” to be used in rifles during their firearms deer season. It has the ability to be used in both bolt action and modern sporting rifle styles and produces sound terminal ballistics on whitetail deer.

Innovation on the part of the firearms owner has produced many great new cartridges which have over time become standards of our trade. Redding remains committed to supporting such innovation with a true “Custom” die operation, allowing individuals to work at improving their capabilities through wildcatting.

The Engineering Group at Redding requires only a chamber reamer drawing or 5 fired cases from the firearm in question to quote the production of dies for virtually any caliber and firearm which can be made with a 7/8 x 14 TPI die body. Prices are quoted on an individual basis depending upon the complexity of the chambering and any need for tooling.

Those seeking dies for a truly unique or obsolete cartridge should contact the Redding Custom Die Center in the company’s Engineering Department.

Redding offers numerous unique solutions to improve the accuracy, consistency and reliability of your handloaded ammunition. For more information and a current color catalog contact: Redding Reloading Equipment 1089 Starr Road Cortland, NY 13045, or visit us on the web at: www.redding-reloading.com.

Team Hornady Shooter Kelly Neal

Hornady Ammunition

Grand Island, Neb --(AmmoLand.com)- Team Hornady member Kelly Neal won the Open Division and took High Overall amongst 140 other competitors.

The one day event, hosted by the Starry Shooting Range in Corpus Christi, Texas designed a seven stage match using standard and 1/3 scale IPPA paper targets, steel knock down flashers and moving targets to put the shooters to the test.

After the match, Kelly said, “Vickers Scoring method was used which rewards accuracy, so I shot Hornady 55 grain V-MAX™ for the short range courses and Hornady 75 grain BTHP’s for the long range targets; they carry more energy to activate the reactive steel targets. I’m very proud to be a member of Team Hornady, using Hornady, I’m guaranteed the ammo will always be consistent and accurate and Hornady has terrific progressive re-loading equipment.”

Winchester Ammunition Dual Bond Bullet

Winchester Ammunition

East Alton, IL – -(AmmoLand.com)- Considered one of the most innovative products in Winchester Ammunition history, the Supreme Elite Dual Bond bullet line is expanding in 2010, adding .44 Rem-Mag and .45-70 Gov’t to the big-bore hunting lineup.

The .44 Rem-Mag features a 240-grain bullet and the .45-70 Gov’t features a 375-grain bullet. The ‘bullet within a bullet’ design delivers dramatic stopping power and massive tissue damage and is suitable for whitetail deer to large dangerous game, such as bear.

“The Dual Bond bullet is technologically unsurpassed by any bullet commercially available today,” said Brett Flaugher, vice president of domestic and international marketing and sales for Winchester Ammunition. “Anyone who shoots this bullet will experience the best Winchester has to offer in our slug and big-bore hunting lineup.”

The outer jacket is designed for maximum upset and to open up into six segments. The inner jacket works with the bonded lead core and forms another six segments at a controlled rate resulting in a an expansion with 12 segments and is 1.5 times larger than the original bullet diameter.

The heavy outer jacket is mechanically bonded to the inner bullet. The inner bullet utilizes a proprietary bonding process, which welds the lead core to a second jacket that results in a design that provides for a combination of knockdown power, deep penetration and significant tissue damage while retaining nearly 100% of the original weight. The Supreme Elite® Dual Bond® has a large hollow point cavity, which provides positive expansion at a variety of ranges and impact velocities. Combined, this patent pending technology results in lethal energy transfer on impact.

Grand Island, Neb. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Team Hornady member Max Michel found himself on familiar ground when he won the Open Division of the 2010 Florida Open Pistol Tournament. The event is to the competitive shooting world what the Daytona 500 is to NASCAR.

The tournament was hosted by The Universal Shooting Academy in Frostproof, Florida which specializes in military, law enforcement and competitive firearm training.

The ten stages, designed for high round count provided Max with the perfect venue to test his winning shooting skills and strategy.

Max commented, “Winning this event for the third consecutive year is just as exciting as it was the first time. The match was designed using International targets, which are not only shaped differently, but they’re 30% smaller than US targets.”

“I used Hornady 124 grain XTP in my 38 Super Comp and it performed flawlessly. Knowing every Hornady bullet is consistent allows me to run the stages with complete confidence so my concentration is not broken.”

Federal Premium Introduces New Black Cloud Snow Goose Ammo

Hornady Ammunition

Grand Island, Neb. --(AmmoLand.com)- Hornady® unveils the next generation of match ammunition – the Superformance 308 Win 178 gr BTHP Match.

Achieving 2,775 feet per second from a SAAMI spec 24” test barrel, this new load is approximately 175 fps FASTER than any comparable commercial load available today!

Topped with the NEW 178 gr BTHP Match bullet featuring a .530 ballistic coefficient, this Superformance™ offering provides industry leading ballistic performance.

“The new 178 grain BTHP Match bullet was purpose built, and optimized specifically for the 308 Winchester chamber. It features an aggressive ogive as well as an extremely efficient boat tail that makes this projectile highly effective aerodynamically, yield less wind drift and allows the shooter to obtain flatter trajectories. Accuracy results were excellent. We shot a .680″ group at 200 yards with our test equipment, and field tests out to 1250 yards yielded 8 inch, not 8 MOA, but 8 inch total circumferential groups.” – Joe Thielen – Hornady Project Engineer

Remaining supersonic to approximately 1,275 yards, this new load provides a 200 to 250 yard advantage over anything else currently available in 308 Winchester. Because Hornady incorporates its Superformance™ technology, there is no increase in pressure, barrel wear or felt recoil. It also offers incredible temperature stability and excellent accuracy potential.

“When we combine this high B.C. match bullet with our Superformance™ propellants, the result is a completely new load specifically designed to maximize every aspect of the 308 Winchester.” – Dave Emary – Hornady Senior Ballistician

Founded in 1949, Hornady Manufacturing Company is a family owned business headquartered in Grand Island, Nebraska. Proudly manufacturing products that are “Made in the USA”, by over 300 employees, Hornady Manufacturing has become a world leader in bullet, ammunition, reloading tool and accessory design and manufacture.

Hornady Releases Superformance 308 Win Match Cartridge

Look at the massive fragmentation inside a ballistic gel block. The CT2 is fully capable of stopping the threat instantly. The 45 ACP 150 grain CT2 was shot at a distance of only 3 yards with no exit.

Extreme Shock Ammunition

CLINTWOOD, VA --(AmmoLand.com)- Constantly working to achieve maximum performance from their products, Extreme Shock is now able to release the improved CT2 (Copper Training/Tactical), thus expanding the CT2 further into the tactical realm.

When it was first released, the CT2 was primarily designed to be a training round. In these monetarily depressed times, The Extreme Shock Team has taken the initiative to produce a more cost efficient self defense round.

By enhancing the core design, our engineers have been able to design the bullet to fragment as expansively as our tungsten core munitions.

You now get the same results from the copper as you do with the tungsten core. The tungsten due to its heavy, dense core provides long range performance. But as most self defense shooting situations occur within 3 yards or closer to your assailant, the CT2 is ideal to a person who wishes to protect their life and the lives of their family members.

The above picture illustrates the massive fragmentation inside a ballistic gel block.

The CT2 is fully capable of stopping the threat instantly. It should be noted that the 45 ACP 150 grain CT2 was shot at a distance of only 3 yards with no exit.

Extreme Shock USA Announces A Breakthrough In Ammunition Engineering

Extreme Shock Ammunition

CLINTWOOD, VA --(AmmoLand.com)- In regards to self-defense with a firearm, you always plan for the worst case scenario. That’s why it’s best to choose a bullet that will put the maximum advantage in your corner. Extreme Shock frangible ammunition is the logical choice.

However, before going into the reasons why, I cannot stress heavily enough on the importance of training. A person who has practiced once a week with a .32ACP will beat a person who carries, but has never fired a .44 Magnum. Whichever firearm you decide to use, you must practice firing hundreds of rounds in realistic scenarios. Marksmanship and Tactics win gunfights. I cannot teach these things in this article, but I can recommend solid ammunition.

The important question to be asked, of course, is: What makes a good self-defense ammunition?

Simply put, the point is not to wound or kill your attacker. The point is to stop him in his tracks from hurting you. This is commonly referred to as either “Stopping Power” or “Knock-Down Power”. This is a bullet’s ability to incapacitate an assailant – the greater the ability, the less chance your attacker will be able to do you harm after he is shot.

Extreme Shock 9mm AFR ammunition in Perma-Gel Bullet fragments to release ALL of it's energy.

Extreme Shock frangible bullets usually expand and stop in the human body, and thus the attacker absorbs all of the bullet’s kinetic energy than if the bullet had merely zipped through him and left two small holes. This is pure “Stopping Power”.

A common concern for people when trying to decide which bullet to choose for self defense is over-penetration inside the home. Extreme Shock’s lead-free, frangible ammunition is designed to transfer ALL (100%) of its kinetic energy into the target thus maximizing your “Knock-Down Power” and stopping the threat.

The Extreme Shock Air Freedom Round (A.F.R.) was designed for use by the US Air Marshalls on board aircraft and is the ideal round for the home defense firearm. The bullet is specifically engineered not to over-penetrate a target. The added benefit of the AFR is that it will not ricochet and thereby reduces the likelihood of incurring secondary casualties.

Extreme Shock also has a proven track record. It has been adopted by various government and law enforcement agencies. When facing an attacker, the reliability of one’s self defense ammunition can be a matter of life or death. Extreme Shock has endured and passed rigorous government testing and certification. Thus you can be assured that Extreme Shock ammunition is reliable.

“But,” you say, “there’s no way it’s THAT important to have a frangible bullet over my favorite lead-core round.” That may be well and true. I know you’re not planning on missing, and that you figure you’ll be able to put a couple of shots center-of-mass with no problems…but.

Do not overestimate your ability when the bullets start flying. There won’t be a perfect Weaver stance involved, trigger discipline will degrade, and carefully aimed shots will be non-existent- due to adrenaline or situation.

So we find ourselves back at the original question; what makes a good self-defense ammunition?

1. You are safer because your attacker is incapacitated after one or two shots and thus unable to do you injury.
2. Innocent bystanders and third parties are safer because frangible bullets will not exit the body and go on to injure someone else.
3. The ricochet danger is eliminated thus reducing secondary casualties stated above.
4. Furthermore, frangible bullet’s stopping power takes the target down quickly so that they won’t be spraying wild lead core bullets around again endangering uninvolved third parties
5. This ammunition is reliable. You entrusting your most valuable possession to it’s dependability, your life.
6. Lastly, use of Extreme Shock will strengthen your defense in court in the ensuing aftermath. Use of Extreme Shock shows that you had concern for the safety of others, used the minimum of force to eliminate the threat ( you didn’t use a magazine of ammo), and reduced your collateral damage.

It is my hope that no one who reads this article ever finds themselves in a situation that warrants the use of a firearm to defend him or herself. But remember, Plan for the worst. Be safe, stay vertical.

American Eagle Adds Affordable Rifle and Handgun Ammunition Options

Pheasant hunters demand fast loads for the open plains. These new loads feature a mixture of copper-plated lead and nickel-plated FLITESTOPPER Lead delivered by unique rear-braking wad.

FederalPremium.com

ANOKA, Minn. -(Ammoland.com)-  Federal Premium® Ammunition introduces a specialized load for pheasant hunters. Prairie Storm™ is available in 12 and 20-gauge and provides excellent patterns. A payload of copper-plated lead and nickel-plated FLITESTOPPER® (FS) Lead make these loads extra lethal. Available summer 2010.

Consistent edge-to-edge patterns

Prairie Storm capitalizes on the proven FLITECONTROL® wad for full patterns at a variety of distances. The same technology that helped Black Cloud drastically raise waterfowl steel shot performance will do the same to pheasant loads.

This specialized wad opens from the rear, and pulls itself off the payload in a controlled manner. “We’ve been able to increase the performance of several loads with our FLITECONTROL wad,” said Brand Manager Rick Stoeckel. “Prairie Storm gives pheasant hunters excellent performance at longer distances. FS Lead patterns well and hits birds hard.”

Minimizing crippled birds

Federal Premium Prairie Storm Ammunition

Nickel-plated FS Lead pellets feature a cutting edge that gets better penetration and hits birds harder. The distinct shot also fills out patterns to provide pheasant hunters with more pellets on target. This means fewer lost birds.

Hunters will see consistent patterns with less choke constriction. The FLITECONTROL wad helps put 80% of the pattern in a 30-inch circle at 40 yards with a modified choke. This allows hunters to choose chokes that feature less constriction—but still get excellent downrange performance.

These new loads also show Federal’s continued partnership with Pheasants Forever®. A portion of the proceeds from each box sold will go directly to PF. These funds will help PF preserve vital wildlife habitat and work to ensure excellent hunting opportunities for future generations. Learn more at www.pheasants.org.

Federal Premium Introduces Pheasant Loads Featuring FLITECONTROL Wad and FLITESTOPPER Lead

Federal Premium Personal Defense

Federal Premium® Brings Out Specialized Personal Defense® Shotshell loads

Shotguns are popular choices for home defense. Federal Premium went through extensive testing to find the best shotshell options for protection.

FederalPremium.com

ANOKA, Minn. – -(AmmoLand.com)- Federal Premium® Ammunition has announced new shotshells for self defense. These 12 and 20-gauge Personal Defense® brand options underwent extensive testing and provide excellent performance at close range. Available spring 2010.

Not just different packaging

Federal Premium pioneered the handgun self defense category with its Personal Defense offerings. These loads were designed for one thing: self defense. The same can be said about the new shotshell offerings. They’re loaded to ideal velocities and feature optimum patterns and penetration for self defense.

“We went to great lengths to develop these new loads,” said Brand Manager Rick Stoeckel. “We patterned thousands of rounds and exhaustively tested the penetration of these new loads in ballistic gelatin as well as wallboard. We want people to be protected, but we also wanted to make sure these loads wouldn’t over-penetrate in materials such as wallboard.”

The new loads are designed to provide the ultimate in close range protection. Keeping this in mind, Federal engineers worked to find loads that would stop threats immediately and wouldn’t put others in the home in unnecessary danger. They found that #4 buck in 12 and 20-gauge options achieved this performance.

Option featuring FLITECONTROL® Wad

Federal Premium is also offering a load that features the FLITECONTROL wad. This 9-pellet 00 Buck 2-3/4” offering uses the unique rear-braking wad for tight patterns and excellent consistency.

Black Cloud Snow Goose Ammunition

Montana Shooting Sports Association

MISSOULA, MT --(AmmoLand.com)- You may have read or heard that the FWP Commission turned back the FWP Department’s proposed lead shot ban for upland game bird hunting on a narrow 3-2 vote.

The Missoulian/Lee Bureau story is located HERE.

From the story: “Fish, Wildlife and Parks Director Joe Maurier suggested looking at such a ban in certain areas in Montana after returning from a conference of wildlife managers.”

You may remember that Maurier has little experience in Montana and maybe little or no experience hunting, and was hired primarily because he was Governor Schweitzer’s college roommate and buddy.

Apparently Joe heard about this California-style idea at a conference of western F&G directors and thought it would be California-groovy to run it in Montana.

As you probably know, there was no scientific basis offered for the lead ban, and little or no consideration of unintended consequences.

However, encouraged by the narrow vote, Maurier expressed intent to attempt the ban again. And, somebody who attended this meeting of the F&G Commission told me that the strong public comment against the ban was largely discounted and dismissed when the ban was presented.

Of the seven people primarily responsible for setting FWP policy, the five members of the Commission plus the Department Director and Deputy Director, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that none of them are hunters, especially big game hunters. And, remember, they are all appointed by Governor Schweitzer.

Bottom line: Expect the lead ban proposal to be proposed again with enough new justification to attempt to peel off one more vote on the Commission. And, expect a bill in the next session of the legislature to prohibit FWP from regulating ammunition for hunting.

Thanks to Commission Chairman Shane Colton of Billings for making the motion to dump the lead ban proposal.

Winchester Ammunition Receives Big Rock Sports Hunting / Shooting Vendor Of The Year Award

Winchester Ammunition

Morgan, UT –-(AmmoLand.com)- The Winchester Ammunition heavy-hitting .45-70 Gov’t classic is getting an upgrade in bullet performance for 2010 in the Supreme® Ballistic Silvertip® line.

The new bullet design was co-developed with Nosler® and incorporates a plastic tip to help prevent damage from recoil and improve downrange performance.

The 300-grain bullet also features a black oxide coating to help reduce barrel fouling.

The .45-70 Gov’t bullet has been around for more than 100 years and was originally adopted by the United States Military in 1873 to be used with the single shot Trapdoor Springfield rifle. It later became a popular cartridge for sporting use and is ideal for hunting big game animals, such as whitetail deer, elk and bear.

The polycarbonate tip, like that featured on other Winchester centerfire bullets including: XP³®, Accubond-CT® and e-Tip®, prevents deformation in the magazine, boosts aerodynamic efficiency and initiates a large expansion at a variety of impact ranges.

What does .45-70 mean?

• .45=caliber in decimal inches (ex. .454 inches)
• 70=the weight of the original black powder charge calculated in grains (*Note: smokeless powder is used in the new Winchester Supreme 45-70 Gov’t load.)

“The classic 45-70 caliber now loaded in one of our most popular rounds, the Winchester Ballistic Silvertip, is really a unique combination,” said Brett Flaugher, vice president of domestic and international marketing and sales for Winchester Ammunition.

The Supreme® Ballistic Silvertip® .45-70 Gov’t will feature:

• Bullet Wt = 300 gr
• 20 rds/box – 200 rds/case
• Availability: May 2010

Extreme Shock Trophy Game Hunting Ammunition

Extreme Shock Ammunition

CLINTWOOD, VA –-(AmmoLand.com)- Extreme Shock Ammunition, known for producing the world’s most advanced ammunition, has successfully produced the perfect round for Trophy Game Hunting.

Extreme Shock has accomplished what other bullet makers have been trying to do for years–design a hunting bullet that gives 3-4 inches of clean penetration into the animal before fragmenting to release 100% of it’s energy into the soft tissue. The Trophy Game is designed to penetrate through thick hide and dense bone then fragment when it impacts soft organic tissue and fluids.

Unlike other bullets that pass through the game, Trophy Game bullets deliver 100% of their kinetic energy inside the target, making for a safe, fast, and humane harvest with no loss of meat.

The Extreme Shock Trophy Game Hunting line of bullets exhibits superior performance in the target or through the intervening brush. Empirical testing clearly shows that the round nose bullet at moderate velocities travels through brush with minimal deflection. They also tend to follow a straight path inside an animal on their way to the vitals, which is why they are preferred for hunting extremely large game. The Trophy Game bullets are made with controlled expansion features which will work with absolute reliability.

Extreme Shock Introduces the Perfect Hunting Round

Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation

Washington, DC --(AmmoLand.com)- CSF President Jeff Crane met last week with U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and Under-Secretary Tom Strickland to discuss the National Park Service (NPS) ruling on use of lead based ammunition and fishing tackle in National Parks.

The Department of Interior (DOI) representatives stated that there is no consideration of extending the lead ban to private citizens and that the ban would only pertain to DOI employees who are held to a higher standard.

Jeff Crane suggested to the DOI representatives that additional consideration should be given to scientific studies that refute studies showing harmful effects of lead ammo and tackle that were used in forming the NPS policy.

Secretary Salazar reiterated his comments that the sportsmen’s community is vitally important in the formation of DOI policy and offered that the sportsmen have a seat at the DOI table.

About:
We can have the best wildlife habitat imaginable and a record number of people who buy fishing and hunting licenses, but it won’t matter if misguided laws and regulations are made at the federal and state levels that negatively impact our outdoor traditions.

Gun News Widget – When You Support AmmoLand You Support Gun Rights

NRAHuntersRights.org

NRAHuntersRights.org

Fairfax, Virginia - -(AmmoLand.com)- AmmoLand.com’s featured Gun Blog of the Month of February 2010, is NRAHuntersRights.org.

The right to keep and bear arms if closely linked to the right to hunt. Yet many hunters fail to appreciate the danger of losing their rights to hunt because of a pending gun law.

The reverse is true of many gun owners that are quick to leap to the defense of their RTKABA but take a wait and see posture when hunters rights come into question.

To take it one steps further the ability to manage and conserve our natural wildlife is ultimately dependent on the ability of hunters to remove game and keep animal populations in balance. Simply put without Hunters we have no conservation only the flawed science of preservation.

One blog at the fore front of this fight to protect hunters rights is NRAHuntersRights.org . Take a moment and get to know the folks fighting for your rights.

NRAHuntersRights.org Blog Interview:

Q: What is your Blog’s Official Name?
A: The name is “Hunter’s Blog” and it appears as part of the website: www.nrahuntersrights.org. We also have a “Discussion Forum” where we introduce a topic, stand back and let hunters weigh in on it.

Q: How many people work on the NRA Hunters Rights Blog or what is the organizational structure?
A: There are two main bloggers, and occasionally we allow a “guest blog.”

Q: What are the names of the writers or contributors to the NRA Hunters Rights Blog?
A: I (J.R. Robbins) am Managing Editor and I am helped by Assistant Editor Justin McDaniel. I have been with NRA for 26 years, including stints on American Hunter Magazine, InSights (NRA’s junior magazine) and as Manager of Communications for NRA Programs. After years of writing how-tos and where-tos, I realized how much threats to hunting are escalating in this country and devoted myself to speaking out against these threats, and promoting what NRA does for hunters. I mostly hunt deer, antelope, black bears, ducks, geese, pheasants, grouse, quail and woodcock.

Justin has been with NRA for four years, the last two of which have been spent working on www.nrahuntersrights.org. Before joining my staff, Justin also spent two years in our Communications Department helping to promote NRA Programs. He is a lifelong hunter and NRA Member and returns to his home state of Pennsylvania as often as possible to hunt deer, turkeys, and a variety of small game.

Q: Does each person have a specialty or area of interest that they focus on?
A: We blog about anything that affects hunters’ rights. This could include ridiculous media statements about hunting or smacking down false information communicated by anti-hunting groups. We expose the bureaucracy that inhibits hunters’ access to public lands and makes hunting too expensive and too burdened with paperwork and blizzards of red tape. The number of hunters in this country is declining. We need to make hunting more accessible and less complicated, especially for newcomers, to reverse that trend.

Q: Where is the NRA Hunters Rights Blog located? A: The exact url is: http://www.nrahuntersrights.org/blog/Default.aspx. To find the Discussion Forum, go to www.nrahuntersrights.org, and scroll down about halfway. The forum is on the left side.

Q: What is the point of view or purpose of your blog?
A: Through the Hunters’ Blog and the Discussion Forum we make hunters aware of escalating threats to hunting, what NRA is doing about them, and we stimulate discussion from hunters on these topics. It is imperative that hunters become more informed and vocal about these issues. We need more hunters showing up at public hearings and taking part in public comment periods on issues that affect hunting. You can bet the anti-hunters are showing up at these meetings and sending in comments on many hunting issues.

Q: How long has your Blog been active?
A: Both the Hunters Blog and the Discussion Forum have been up since November 2008.

Q: Do you have a specific agenda or goal of the NRA Hunters Rights Blog?
A: While defending the Second Amendment will always be NRA’s first priority, 80 percent of our members hunt, and every issue that’s important to hunters is important to us-especially access to hunting lands and retention/expansion of hunters’ gun rights.

One goal of the blog is to make people more aware of what NRA does for hunters-we have nationally known youth and women’s hunting programs and we are involved in legislation that affects hunters at every level of government. NRA-backed Open Fields and No-Net-Loss legislation work to get hunters access to private and public hunting lands.

We work with several federal agencies to expand access to federal lands and to keep public shooting ranges open. We’ve helped pass “Right to Hunt” Constitutional amendments in 10 states. We’ve supported youth-mentored hunting laws and fought attempts to ban hunting for doves, bears, wolves, prairie dogs and other species. There’s a lot more, but you get the idea.

Q: Do you have any other digital sites?
A: The Hunters’ Blog is part of www.nrahuntersrights.org. We launched this site late in 2007. This site offers links to outside headlines, gear write-ups, a monthly Gift Giveaway, links to other hunting resources, and several ways to find state/federal public hunting lands and even a state list of guides and outfitters.

There is also a Trophy Gallery where we post photos of hunters and their downed game.

Q: What is the biggest issue facing hunters today that most concerns you?
A: It has become too difficult for the average guy to find a place to hunt, or even to find a range where he can sight-in, practice marksmanship, or teach his kids to shoot. Fighting to keep ranges open, and to protect and expand hunter access to private and public lands is our most important-and most difficult-challenge. Access to hunting land is directly connected to the number of hunters. If the number of hunters continues to spiral downward, it threatens the very existence of the tradition of hunting.

Plus, it means even more revenue lost for wildlife conservation. It’s hunters who pay for wildlife management in this country.

Q: What is one thing that you want AmmoLand Shooting Sports News readers to know about the NRA Hunters Rights Blog?
A: The Hunters’ Blog and the Discussion Forum are two very visible places where your opinion can be heard! We want your voice on this site!

Q: What was the best thing done on the NRA Hunters Rights Blog that got the most reaction from your readers?
A: In November, a California high school student was expelled for having two unloaded shotguns locked in his off-campus truck. He had the guns because he had gone bird hunting before school. People were outraged.

Q: What was the worst thing you did on your blog that go the most reaction from your readers?
A: No one thing comes to mind, but it is true that some hunting issues can be divisive. Even so, we want to hear from all hunters and make sure we understand their point of view.

Q: What do you think the outlook is for the future of gun rights or in you case hunter rights in America?
A: We have battles ahead and hunters must be informed and active in those battles. Restrictions on traditional [lead] ammunition are being pushed hard by anti-hunting groups. As America continues to become more urbanized, more hunting lands are lost, and more restrictions on guns are called for by new residents of areas previously open to shooting and hunting. And it’s not just fringe anti-hunting groups we face today, either.

It’s well-funded, radical environmental groups that would block hunters’ access to public lands, and sympathetic media who trumpet their cause.

Q: Of the topics you cover what do you enjoy writing about the most?
A: Hunting is in my blood, and to have slowly evolved from writing “Ten Hot Spots for a Tree Stand” to “Abysmal Harvest Angers Wisconsin Hunters” has been an enjoyable, and meaningful, process.

Q: What things would you like to do or expand on in the NRA Hunters Rights Blog in the future?
A: I would like to open up the Hunters’ Blog to more typical hunters who have an informed opinion on a hunting issue they would like to share.

Q: What would you like to say to those that are anti hunting or maybe just unsure of the purpose of hunting and guns in our society today?
A: Hunting is an essential wildlife management tool. Decisions about hunting should be based on solid science researched by qualified wildlife biologists.

Hunting decisions cannot be made based on emotion, politics or personal agendas. Hunters are the original conservationists, and without us, many species would never have come back from near-extinction at the beginning of this century.

Q: What parting remarks or comments you would like to make or promote?
A: Hunters tend not to get riled up and active until hunting is threatened in their own favorite spot. At that point, it’s often too late. Stay informed about issues anywhere that could affect a hunter’s rights, and get active in opposing them.

NRAHuntersRights.org – Defending Your Freedom To Hunt

Students for Concealed Carry on Campus at Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech, VA - -(AmmoLand.com)- On Monday, February 1, 2010 the Virginia Tech University Council will have their first reading of a resolution that would effectively Ban Ammunition, including Paintball and Airsoft, on campus and in dormitories.

Being the president of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus at Virginia Tech and a member of the Pistol and Rifle Club, I recognize how the passage of this resolution could negatively affect members of these organizations. It will also greatly affect those of you in the Airsoft Club, Paintball Club, Clay Target Team, and others. As such, I want to give you some background on the resolution and ask for your help in seeing that it does not pass.

I have attached a copy of the resolution:

Resolutions for Changes to the Hokie Handbook (www.hokiehandbook.vt.edu)

First Reading by Commission on Student Affairs: November 19, 2009
Second Reading by Commission on Student Affairs: December 3, 2009
Approved by Commission on Student Affairs: December 3, 2009
First Reading by University Council: February 1, 2010
Second Reading by University Council:
Approved by University Council:
Approved by the President:
Approved by Board of Visitors:
Effective Date:

Commission on Student Affairs Resolution CSA 2009-2010C

Weapons Policy for Student Code of Conduct

• Whereas, the University Student Conduct System is an educational tool with two main objectives: to hold students accountable for unacceptable behavior, and to modify those behaviors deemed unacceptable by the university, and
• Whereas, the University Student Conduct System strives to address unacceptable behavior in a manner that informs students and guides them toward a greater sense of personal responsibility, and more mature and ethical standards, and
• Whereas, current policy (contained in the Hokie Handbook) already states that unauthorized storage, possession, and/or use of weapons is prohibited on university property, and
• Whereas, the University is committed to policies and procedures that address campus safety and security, and
• Whereas, the University would like to convey to students that since weapons are not allowed in on campus residential facilities that ammunition should also be prohibited, therefore let it be

Resolved, that Policy # 8300, Student Code of Conduct – Weapons be amended as follows:

Student Code of Conduct – Weapons

Unauthorized possession, storage, or control of firearms, weapons, on university property, including storing weapons in vehicles on campus as well as in the residence halls. Furthermore, ammunition can not be stored in any residence halls on campus. (Note: organizational weapons of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets, approved by the commandant, are not prohibited by this policy.) Weapons

Firearms are defined as any gun, rifle, pistol, or handgun designed to fire any projectile including but not limited to bullets, BBs, pellets, or shots (including paint balls), regardless of the propellant used. Ammunition is defined as any material intended for use in a firearm, capable of being projected by a weapon and/or makes the weapon operational. Other weapons are defined as any instrument of combat or any object not designed as an instrument of combat but carried for the purpose of inflicting or threatening bodily injury.

Examples include but are not limited to knives with fixed blades or pocket knives with blades longer than 4 inches, razors, metal knuckles, blackjacks, hatchets, bows and arrows, nun chukkas, foils, stun weapons, or any explosive or incendiary device. Possession of realistic replicas of weapons on campus is prohibited. Stun weapon is defined as any device that emits a momentary or pulsed output, which is electrical, audible, optical or electromagnetic in nature and which is designed to temporarily incapacitate a person.

Students who store weapons in residence hall rooms, who brandish weapons, or who use a weapon in a reckless manner may face disciplinary action, which may include suspension or dismissal from the university. Students who store ammunition in the residence halls will face disciplinary action. Exceptions to possessing weapons may be made in the case of university functions or activities and for educational exhibitions or displays. Exceptions must be approved by the Vice President for Administrative Services, in consultation with appropriate university offices.

This policy does not prohibit the possession of firearms by persons, such as law enforcement officers, who are authorized by law to do so in the performance of their duties. A weapons storage program is available. The storage program applies to the weapon and ammunition. Ammunition that will not be stored includes Paintballs, BB’s, Air Soft projectiles, Nerf gun projectiles, and CO2 Cartridges. Interested persons should contact the Virginia Tech Police (Sterrett Facilities Complex, 231-6411.)

I want to point out a few key things:

• Ammunition (including bullets, BBs, airsoft pellets, and paintball) would now fall under the definition of a weapon, the possession of which on campus and in dorms would be punishable (up to dismissal or suspension from VT)
• The VT Police Department will begin storing CERTAIN types of ammunition (NOT airsoft or paintball) on a first come, first serve basis. There is absolutely NO indication of how much ammunition they will be able to accommodate.

Myself, Ken Stanton (VP of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus at VT), and Ethan Reed (Secretary of Pistol & Rifle Club) were present at the last meeting in which this resolution was discussed (the Commission on Student Affairs meeting).

Mrs. Frances Keene, the author of this resolution, cites “safety issues”(ie explosions of ammunition during a fire) as her main reason for concern.

Despite Ethan citing opposing research on the issue of safety, many members of the commission chose to simply trust Mrs. Keene on the issue, mentioning perceived fears as their reason for wanting to pass the resolution.

Further, these safety issues do not explain the reasoning behind also banning paintballs and airsoft pellets.

After discussing the safety issues and concerns about how much ammunition the VTPD would or would not be able to store, several members of the commission raised concerns about not having enough information to make an informed vote on the issue.

A motion was made to resume discussion and invite representatives who were more knowledgeable on all sides of the issue, but this motion was struck down. With “encouragement” from a few key members of the commission, a hasty vote was made, and the resolution passed.

I am a member of the University Council where the resolution will be heard on Monday, and I am more than willing to speak to this issue. However, I cannot do this alone. We need to make the council aware that there is credible research showing that safety is not an issue in ammunition storage on campus. We also need to show them exactly who this ammunition ban would affect (ie you and/or your group’s members who live on campus).

The council meets in Pamplin 1045 from 3-5pm on February 1; this resolution is one of the first things on the agenda for the meeting, so please be prompt.

Feel free to email me with any questions or comments.

Virginia Tech Attempts Back Door Gun Ban with Resolution to Ban Ammunition on Campus

Sinclair Ammunition Reloading Supplies

Las Vegas NV,- -(Ammoland.com)- The SHOT Show, for those of you unfamiliar with it, is the largest shooting and hunting exposition in the world. Designed for distributors and dealers to see new products and prepare their buying activities for the new year. It was held in Las Vegas this year and will return there in 2011 and 2012.

Three of us from Sinclair walked the show for four (4) days and met with many of the manufacturers we deal with. I wanted to try to give you a brief rundown of some of the things we saw that may be of interest to you.

Lapua
The big news from Lapua is the introduction of their new .308 Winchester brass with the small primer pocket. A lot of reloaders and wildcatters have been looking forward to this and their will be quite a demand when it hits the shelf. Lapua is also adding the 22-250 Remington case in their line. We have been after them to make the 22-250 case for years. Not only will this be a plus for the 22-250 Remington reloaders but also for the folks wanting to use it as a parent case.

We also will be adding some additional Lapua bullets and Lapua ammunition to our line in the near future.

Berger Bullets
We spent quite a bit of time with the crew from Berger. They are working additional shifts to try to get their production up to meet the increased demand for their product – that’s great news. They also let us know that they are working on some new 7mm bullets in the 180 grain weight range that promise to have some of the highest B.C.’s of any bullets they have ever produced. Also, getting ready to be tested are some 6mmm benchrest bullets of a new design. We will continue to keep you posted as we get more details when these new bullets will be available.

Norma Precision
The 6 PPC brass from Norma is back and will be stronger and longer lasting than before. We are looking forward to seeing this brass in the next couple of months. We’ll be adding some target bullets from the Norma line soon along with some of their super accurate ammunition.

Hornady Manufacturing
I mentioned in the cover letter about a couple of their new reloading tools; the Hornady Sonic Brass Cleaner and the Hornady Lock N’ Load Auto Charge Powder Dispenser. We are looking forward to their arrival in the next month or so. A big talk lately has been Hornady’s Superformance Ammunition. This ammunition utilizes progressive propellants that add 100 to 200 FPS over conventional factory ammunition. These specially blended powders increase velocity without increases in felt recoil, muzzle blast, temperature sensitivity, fouling or loss of accuracy. This stuff will be hard to get but we should be getting some allocated to us as soon as it becomes available.

NRA Chooses Winchester’s PDX1 Line As Ammunition Product Of The Year

National Shooting Sports Foundation

NEWTOWN, Conn. – -(AmmoLand.com)- The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) has admitted that its proposed ban on traditional shot in the state’s 72 state-owned wildlife management areas is nothing more than a “trial balloon” to see how sportsmen in the state will react.

The FWP proposal has drawn the ire of many groups, including the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) – the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry.

In a letter sent last week to FWP Director Joe Maurier, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence G. Keane, stated, “The NSSF maintains that wildlife management policy must be based on science, not on popular opinion or political or symbolic gesture. The FWP has not provided any scientific evidence to support its proposed ban on traditional shot.”

A recent article in the Billings Gazette (”State proposed ban lead shot on some lands draws criticism,” January 20, 2010) quoted an FWP spokesman as saying “There’s nothing to suggest lead shot poses any risk to upland game bird species.”

The spokesman went on to say that “Montana’s tentative ban was proposed only to be consistent with the federal ban and other lead shot bans on certain tribal lands” and “there are no biological reasons to ban lead shot.”

NSSF has made clear that adoption of the proposed ban would be more likely to hurt state and local economies, rather than help wildlife in the Big Sky state. The proposed ban would force hunters to use steel shot or other more costly ammunition alternatives. This would make hunting more expensive and ultimately lead to a decline in hunters, hunter support and hunter generated income.

“In the end, the FWP’s proposal is an attempt to base wildlife management decisions on a popularity contest and not sound science,” said Keane.

About NSSF
The National Shooting Sports Foundation is the trade association for the firearms industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of more than 4,000 manufacturers, distributors, firearms retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers.

MT Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks Admits Traditional Lead Shot Ammo is No Risk

Sinclair Ammunition Reloading Supplies

Fort Wayne IN- -(Ammoland.com)- There are several good reloading handbooks on the market today.

They are generally updated every few years and contain valuable information on new cartridges and new components.

Most new reloaders start out with one handbook but most find themselves acquiring additional titles because of cartridge or component voids in their first book.

Most reloading handbooks provide two functions;

1. They provide the basic steps of metallic cartridge reloading
2. They provide the basic recipes (loads) for most common metallic cartridges

A few of my favorites are the Hornady Reloading Handbook, the Sierra Reloading Manual, the Nosler Handbook, and the Speer Manual. A unique concept in reloading manuals is the Hodgdon Reloading Manual. Hodgdon produces their reloading manual in a magazine format that they can update every year with the latest cartridges, powders, and other components.

Hornady Match Ammunition at Sinclairintl.com

The Foundation
Each reloading manual is developed differently but they usually include the basic testing information that is important to look at and compare to your own particular situation.

Some of the important points to take note of in any reloading manual.

Are as follows:

1. What temperature was the load data tested? For example, the data in the Hornady Reloading Handbook was developed and tested at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure you take the temperature into account that you will be shooting your reloads in. Higher temperatures will usually increase pressure and velocity. Lower temperatures will usually create lower pressures and reduce velocities.
2. Most reloading handbooks will detail the specifications for the firearm that the data was tested in. They will usually list the action, barrel length, and twist rate.
3. Another factor that is usually listed for each cartridge is the primer. In most cases the reloading handbook developer will use standard primers but in larger cases with slow burning powders they may choose to use a magnum primer.

General Data
Each cartridge section will usually contain some brief history about the cartridge such as the date it was developed, the original purpose it was developed for, and suggested applications. Most manuals will also list what loads were most accurate in their test firearm and sometimes will list the best hunting load.

Each cartridge will have several bullets listed that are appropriate beginning with the lightest weight bullet. The spread of bullets may not apply to your firearm because the twist rate of your barrel may be different. It could be that you can shoot heavier bullets because of a faster twist rate but generally the handbook provides a great starting point.

Some other valuable data will include the cartridge dimensions that are useful when comparing one cartridge versus another. The maximum case length is usually listed, which is the maximum length you should allow the case to grow to before trimming. The trim length is of course shorter than the maximum length and is the recommended length to trim your cases to when trimming. Failure to pay attention to case length can lead to extreme pressures and can end up crimping the bullet in the case when the round is chambered.

Specific Data
Some things to take note of in the detailed data are the style of bullet. Many reloaders will ask if they can use the data for the same weight bullet even though they are using a different brand of bullet. An example would be using a Hornady manual which is going to list Hornady bullets, of course, then choosing to use a Sierra bullet for a particular application. In most cases you can use the load data if the bullets are of the same style, but if they are of different styles it is advisable to reduce the load slightly. I definitely recommend reducing an established charge and then gradually working upward to a new load for a new bullet while watching for indications of high pressure.

Generally, the data listed in a reloading handbook under a specific bullet will include the various powders tested by the authors and increasing velocities (in Feet per second – FPS) with the amount of powder in grains listed below each velocity. Most manuals will highlight the maximum loads and provide warnings to be careful when using these loads. Remember, the velocities listed were obtained with the particular lot of powder used in testing, the test rifle, the primers used, and the environmental conditions existing during testing. Velocities are expressed as muzzle velocities.

Other valuable data in many reloading handbooks would include cartridge overall length for a particular bullet, sectional density, and ballistic coefficient. The cartridge overall length is the dimension from the base of the case to the tip of the particular bullet. These dimensions are obtained from SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturer’s Institute). SAAMI is charged with providing the standard specifications for both cartridge case dimensions and chamber dimensions. This overall cartridge length is valuable to use especially when loading for use in magazine fed rifles. It can be exceeded when loading rounds on top of the magazine follower in single shot mode. As the bullet is loaded further out, the reloader needs to pay close attention to the position of the bullet with respect to the beginning of the rifling since pressures can dramatically increase as the bullet is loaded further into the throat. There are special tools on the market such as the Sinclair Seating Depth Tool and Bullet Comparators that can help you determine how far out you can seat the bullet with respect to the beginning of the rifling.

The sectional density is a relative value among bullets and is expressed as the ratio of the weight of the bullet in pounds with respect to the square of its diameter in inches. Bullets with a higher sectional density compared to other bullets of the same shape will usually retain their velocity and energy better.

Reloading Kits at Sinclairintl.com

The ballistic coefficient (B.C.) is an index of the manner is which a bullet decelerates while in flight. This index is a means to express the ability of a particular bullet to overcome air resistance in flight. Ballistic coefficients are very useful in comparing bullets but shouldn’t be the last word in determining whether one bullet is better than another. B.C.’s can change with velocity, altitude, temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. B.C.s are extremely valuable when utilizing ballistic programs to calculate wind drift and bullet trajectory.

Other Notes
A couple of points I want to bring special attention to are the use of military surplus brass or recycled military brass and the use of solid bullets. First, military brass usually is more robust than commercial cases and generally will have thicker walls. Once sized, the case capacity of this brass will usually be smaller and reduced loads should be adhered to. I would begin with around 15% less powder than a load used in commercial brass. Again, as stated before work your way up with the load.

Solid bullets such as Barnes are great bullets but special consideration to the loads used should be given. Refer to a reloading manual (Barnes would be best) that has specific data for these bullets. They usually require reduced loads.

Sinclair International Introduction to Reloading Using a Reloading Handbook

Sinclair Ammunition Reloading Supplies

Fort Wayne IN- -(Ammoland.com)- We are in the middle of January and that means another visit to the shooting industry’s big show – The SHOT Show. Held in Las Vegas this year, this 4 day event is the industry’s showcase of new products for manufacturers, distributors, and dealers.

I will be smack in the middle of it when this letter arrives and will try to post an update one night on the blog about anything new that we see, especially in the reloading arena.

Our new 2010-A Sinclair catalog will be printing soon and you should see it arrive in your mailbox sometime in mid to late February. Showcased in the catalog are a couple of new Hornady products that will be available soon – one is the new Lock-N-Load Auto Charge Powder Dispenser and the other is their Lock-N-Load Sonic Cleaner designed for case cleaning. I was given a prototype Sonic Cleaner a few weeks ago and it promises to be a very handy tool. I was amazed how clean the inside of my dirty cases were. I am still waiting on the arrival of the new Auto Charge Powder Dispenser so I can give it a workout.

Lapua has finally decided to produce some 22-250 Remington brass – this unprimed brass won’t be available until later this spring but we wanted to make sure you were aware that it is coming. We have been after them to make this cartridge for a long time. I am sure it will be of the same great quality as all of the other Lapua products.

Another new product offering this year from Lapua will be their 308 Winchester Palma brass with a small primer pocket. There will be a big demand from both 308 shooters and wildcat reloaders. We should see this cartridge arrive in a few months.

I would be remiss in not mentioning two old product names that will be back in the Sinclair catalog. Redfield scopes are being re-introduced into the market by Leupold and Birchwood Casey has brought back the RIG products (RIG grease, RIG-Rags, etc.). Both of these product lines will be welcome additions. I am looking forward to trying out one of the new Redfield 4-12 scopes and also their compact, digital laser rangefinders. We should see these on our shelves shortly.
