Winchester Blind Side Waterfowl Ammunition

Winchester Ammunition

East Alton, IL – -(Ammoland.com)- In 2011, Winchester Ammunition revolutionized steel waterfowl ammunition with the launch of Blind Side, the most innovative steel waterfowl product in the company’s history.

“Before Blind Side ammunition, waterfowl hunters could only dream of steel shot that approached the performance of lead. Now, it’s a reality,” said Brett Flaugher, Winchester Ammunition vice president of marketing and sales.

“Our engineers spent years developing Blind Side and we’re taking it to the next level in 2012 by expanding the Blind Side line to offer more choices to hunters.”

For 2012, Blind Side ammunition will be offered in the following gauges, shell lengths and shot sizes (new offerings in bold):

Gauge Shell Length Oz. Shot Velocity Shot Sizes

• 12 3 1/2” 1 5/8 1400 BB, 1, 2, 3
• 12 3” 1 3/8 1400 BB, 1, 2, 3, 5
• 12 2 3/4” 1 1/4 1400 2, 5
• 20 3” 1 1/16 1300 2, 5

Blind Side ammunition combines ground-breaking, stacked HEX Shot technology and the new Diamond Cut Wad in the most deadly Winchester waterfowl load available. The HEX Shot pellets, shaped much like dice, literally stack together inside the shell, resulting in up to 15 percent more pellets in every shell.

Loaded with 100 percent HEX Shot, hunters get more pellets on target, a larger kill zone and more trauma inducing pellets than ever before – meaning quick kill shots. The shot is designed to hit waterfowl like high-velocity tumbling bricks – preventing over penetration and maximizing energy deposit and knock down shock within the bird.

With a company heritage dating back to 1866, Winchester Ammunition was there for the taming of the American West, the Allied Forces’ victory in World War II and through the years, millions of fond memories made in the great outdoors. Known as The American Legend, Winchester is a global leader in sporting, law enforcement, military and personal defense ammunition production. Winchester continues to raise the bar with new products like Blind Side waterfowl and PDX1 Defender™ personal defense ammunition.

NJ2AS looking over the wall in New Jersey....WOLVERINES!

New Jersey Second Amendment Society

Manahawkin, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- The New Jersey Second Amendment Society testified before the New Jersey Assembly Law & Public Safety Committee yesterday to weigh in on Assembly Bills A588 and A1013.

A588 was opposed because it proposed to give over-reaching authority to the New Jersey Attorney General to ban ammunition, including air soft pellets, at the whim of the Attorney General.

A1013 was opposed because it hinged on the poorly defined definition of ‘defaced’ in the New Jersey code, effectively making law-abiding citizens felons when in possession of older firearms that may have rust or normal wear making their markings unreadable.

The Committee tabled A588 and amended A1013 to address the concerns raised by NJ2AS and other Second Amendment groups that testified.

“We are very pleased with the way the Committee responded to their constituents’ today.” says Frank Jack Fiamingo, President of the New Jersey Second Amendment Society, “The Committee was inundated with phone calls, email and faxes opposing these bills as well as a strong showing at the hearing in Trenton by concerned citizens – and we feel they responded appropriately.”

Frank Jack Fiamingo can be reached for comment via email at President@nj2as.com or by phone at (732) 233-6506.
