Winchester Ammunition

East Alton, IL – -(AmmoLand.com)- Winchester Ammunition introduces its new 2009 line of centerfire rifle ammunition. Super-X® Power Max Bonded™ is specifically designed for the whitetail deer hunter and takes the time-proven jacketed bullet design to a new level of performance at an affordable price.

Winchester’s proprietary bonding process welds lead to a copper alloy jacket where the two act together during expansion for improved penetration and retained weight.

“The bonding technology improves bullet performance with increased retained weight and deeper penetration, while still providing a quick and lethal knock-down,” said Glen Weeks, Centerfire Product Manager for Winchester Ammunition. “For any whitetail hunter who is interested in bullet strength and penetration, the new Power Max Bonded is it.”

Key features of the Super-X bullet include:

• Protected hollow point PHP design
• Lead core bonded to jacket with proprietary process
  Massive frontal area of mushroom is more than double original diameter
• Lead remains bonded to jacket after impact
• Super-X Power Max Bonded will be offered in the following calibers and bullet weights, with expected store delivery set for June of 2009:

Barnes Banded Solid and Triple-Shock X-Bullets Round-out Federal Premium Cape-Shok Ammunition Line

Federal Premium Cape-Shok Ammunition Line

FederalPremium.com

ANOKA, Minn. – -(AmmoLand.com)- Federal Premium’s Cape-Shok™ line caters exclusively to large and dangerous game hunters. This year, a 286-grain Barnes® Banded Solid in .370 Sako Magnum and 500-gr .458 Lott Triple-Shock® X-Bullet™ option make this line even more complete.

When Stopping Game is a Must
Those who head out after the world’s largest and most dangerous game demand the ultimate in performance. Tough bullets that get superior penetration are the only option. Using second-rate ammunition could result in missing a trophy, or worse.

“Barnes bullets have built a reputation for their performance in the field,” said Drew Goodlin, director of new product development. “That’s why we load these in our Cape-Shok line. The new Barnes Banded Solid option is a great fit for the .370 Sako Magnum. These high energy loads deliver big-time performance and penetration suitable for a variety of game.”

The Barnes Banded Solid is made from a copper/zinc alloy that stays together even under extreme conditions. It won’t deflect or disintegrate when it contacts heavy bone.

The .370 Sako Magnum is also known as the 9.3x66mm in Europe and is a .30-06 necked up to .366 caliber. It is built on a standard action that allows additional rounds in the magazine and performs very well on large and dangerous game.

A new Barnes Triple-Shock X-Bullet in .458 Lott is also now available. These bullets are known for their all-copper construction, great penetration and excellent weight retention. This means they’re perfect for the thick hides and heavy bones of large game.

Available now:
Part No. / Description

• P370A / 370 Sako Mag 286-gr Barnes Solid 2550 fps
• P458LA / 458 Lott 500-gr Barnes Triple-Shock 2280 fps
