Extreme Shock USA Announces A Breakthrough In Ammunition Engineering

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.

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.

Winchester Ammunition Develops .45-70 Gov’t Load Ammo In Ballistic Silvertip

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
