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.

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.

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.

Remington Arms Company

Madison, NC –-(AmmoLand.com)- For nearly sixty years, law enforcement agencies and judicious gun owners around the world have relied on the Remington Model 870™ shotgun as their defensive firearm of choice.

For 2009, Remington announces a new ammunition product designed to enhance the effectiveness of your shotgun in a home defense scenario – Remington HD Ultimate Home Defense.

Remington HD Ultimate Home Defense shotgun ammunition features the same pellet material as the popular Wingmaster HD™ tungsten-bronze hunting ammunition and is offered in two loadings. Consumers can choose from a load of BB’s for the highest terminal energy or a duplex mixture of #2 and #4 pellets for excellent pattern density and outstanding stopping power with a reduced chance of over-penetration. Both loads are 12 gauge, 2 ¾-inch with 1 1/4 ounces of shot at 1250 feet per second. At the most commonly encountered home defense distances, Remington HD Ultimate Home Defense produces very tight patterns for one-shot confidence.

HD Ultimate Home Defense ammunition is the perfect compliment to Remington’s recently expanded line of tactical shotguns. Recent additions to the line include the Model 870 Express® Tactical with XS® Ghost Ring Sights and the Model 870 Express Tactical with Gray Powder Coat Finish. Both shotguns are 12 gauge and feature 3-inch chambered 18 ½-inch barrels which are threaded for the included Tactical Extended Rem™ Choke. Average weight for both models is 7 ½-pounds, overall length is 38 ½-inches and both guns are equipped with a black synthetic stock and fore-end.

The Model 870 Express Tactical with XS Ghost Ring Sights is optimized for rapid target acquisition and precise shot placement with a front XS blade sight and a receiver-mounted picatinny rail with an integrated XS Ghost Ring rear sight. This “Remington exclusive” sighting system is fully adjustable for windage and elevation.

The Model 870 Express Tactical with Gray Powder Coat Finish has a bead-sighted barrel and the receiver and barrel are finished with a gun metal gray powder coat for increased durability and reduced glare.

Regardless of which shotgun you employ in defense of your family, a magazine full of HD Ultimate Home Defense will have things that go bump in the night fearing you for a change.

Ballistics By The Inch

Columbia, MO – -(Ammoland.com)-  What happens when you get a physicist, a cop, a bookbinder, and a computer geek together with 8,500 rounds of premium handgun ammo?

Only the biggest public database of how ballistic performance drops off over barrel length for 16 popular handgun calibers.

It started with a question that has fueled countless discussions over the years: does size matter? In this case, the question was posed by James Kasper to Jim Downey, about the optimal length for a self-defense handgun. And from that simple question, to which there are no simple answers, grew a research project. A research project that grew. And grew. And grew. Ending up with weeks of testing, a big pile of spent shell casings, and a website that has become a popular reference source for anyone interested in ballistics.

That website is Ballistics By The Inch, where you can find not only raw data, but charts and graphs, lots of documentation, and hints at the answer to the original question.

James and Jim eventually added in Steve Meyer and then Keith Kimball to their project, starting with thousands of rounds of handgun ammo and custom made 18″ barrels for a Thompson/Center Encore pistol. They established protocols for testing using two chronographs in which three shots of a given ammo for a given caliber were tested at 18″. Once all the ammo was tested at 18″, one inch of barrel was chopped off, and the tests repeated. And so on down to a stub of 2″ barrel.

Fireing the Thompson/Center Encore Pistol - Ballistics By The Inch

The T/C was chosen to provide ‘ideal’ data, across cartridges which may traditionally be used in a revolver or a semi-auto handgun. This would help eliminate such factors as loss due to a revolver’s gap or the operation of a semi-auto ejector. But to make sure that the data collected was relevant, over 40 actual real world guns were also tested using the same ammunition, and those results included on the website.

Stacks of ammo ready for testing - Ballistics By The Inch

One thing which is quickly evident from looking at the data is that the old ‘rule of thumb’ which says that handgun bullets gain about 50 feet per second for each additional inch of barrel length is woefully simplistic. For some calibers, the difference between a 2″ barrel and a 3″ barrel can be almost 400 fps, for others less than 50 fps. Some ammunition maxes out sooner than others in the same caliber. Some calibers continue to gain all the way out to 18″, others level out after only 6″, and some start to lose velocity at about 12″.

The four participants in the test have been pleasantly surprised at the response to their project. Initially launched at Thanksgiving 2008, the site quickly got a lot of attention around the world, and has been cited in discussion forums in at least seven languages. The recent revisions, which included a new round of tests (going from 13 to 16 calibers), has pushed the site to over a million hits. There has clearly been a real need for this information.

And that has been the most rewarding aspect of the whole project for the team members. Jim Kasper, who started it all with a simple question, and was willing to underwrite the bulk of the $20,000 cost of the project, figured that the data has probably been created before by gun and ammo manufacturers, but that the data had always been treated as proprietary. Now it is available free of charge for the average firearms enthusiast to comb through, consider, debate.

Sinclair International Premium Neck Turning Tool Kit

Sinclair Ammunition Reloading Supplies

Fort Wayne, IN - -(AmmoLand.com)- Sinclair International has just introduced their Premium Neck Turning Tool Kit (#NT4000) with everything the reloader needs to get started turning the outside of their case necks for uniformity. Making every round identical is a key step in achieving the greatest accuracy from your handloads. Neck turning is an important step in the process.

The kit includes the Premium Neck Turning Tool with cutter and handle, one Expander Body, an Expander Mandrel, and a Turning Mandrel.

Company President, Bill Gravatt said, “We wanted to make precision neck turning easy for anyone to do, without an elaborate, expensive set up, and our new Sinclair Kits accomplish those goals very well.”

With every case having uniform neck wall thickness, all of your cases will release bullets equally. The result will be more uniform case expansion, uniform chamber pressure, and better accuracy down range! This is just another example of a technique borrowed from the competitive benchrest community to help all shooters improve the consistency of their handloads.

About:
Alliant’s origins as a gunpowder manufacturer can be traced back more than 125 years to the DuPont Company, whose leadership position in the explosives industry is legendary. DuPont’s divestiture in 1912 created the Hercules Power Company as an independent entity, and eventually resulted in Alliant becoming America’s premier gunpowder manufacturer.

The long, proud history of Alliant Powder began in 1872 as Laflin & Rand, later to become Hercules Powder Company — the most respected name in the reloading industry.

Brownells Gun Parts Catalog

Rifle Caliber / Bullet Twist – -(AmmoLand.com)- The information below will help you select the best barrel twist for your specific needs, providing of course there are multiple choices. If you’ll be shooting one bullet weight, choose a twist from the chart just fast enough to stabilize it. Too fast a twist simply overspins the bullet and may result in reduced accuracy. So if you’re going to be using several bullet weights, be sure to select a twist that will stabilize the heaviest one, since lighter bullets will also be stabilized.

By way of explanation, the numbers in the Twists column indicate how far the bullet must travel through the bore to make one full revolution. This is determined by the rate of rotation of the rifling. For example, a 9″ twist barrel spins the bullet one full turn when it travels 9 inches through the bore. In a 16″ twist barrel, the bullet makes on revolution in 16 inches. So at the same bullet velocity, the 9″ twist is faster (spins the bullet faster) than the 16″ twist. Consequently, as the chart reflects in the .224 CF section, the 9″ twist is necessary for stabilizing heavier bullet weights.

Again looking at the .224 CF section, if you’re planning to shoot 55-grain bullets, the 14″ twist is ideal. This twist is also the best choice for 52-and 53-grain match bullets driven at moderate velocities. But if you’re also contemplating shooting a 60-grainer, go with the 12″ twist, since it will stabilize all the bullets you’ll be using. As you can see from the 15″ and 16″ twists, higher velocities also spin the bullet faster and my enable a slower-than-recommended twist to stabilize a marginally overweight bullet.

As a general rule:

• The higher the velocity, the slower twist is required.
• The lower the velocity, the faster twist is required.
