Lightfield Ammunition Hybred Mag-20

Lightfield Ammunition

Adelphia, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- In the past few years the 20 ga. shotgun slug has been getting a lot of attention.

Improvements in performance that trickled down from the 12 ga. technology, combined with lighter guns and less recoil than the 12 ga., have given the 20 ga. a significantly greater presence in the deer woods.

The typical 20 ga. sabot slug, based on a 45-caliber pistol bullet design, is more efficient than a 12 ga. In terms of ballistics. In fact, on paper, the ballistics of today’s 3″ 20 ga. designs match those of most 2 ¾” 12 ga. in the deer woods.

Pretty impressive stuff. But all of the new age 20 ga. rounds must now line up behind the biggest, most devastating 20 ga. on the market – the unique red hull Lightfield Ammunition Hybred Mag-20.

The newest Lightfield round has industry leading ballistics which are real world figures derived from shooting shoulder fired guns with 24″ production barrels as opposed to competitors’ figures from extremely tight, air-gauged, 30″ test machine fired in climate controlled tunnels.

Combine that with the world class accuracy of Lightfield’s Hybred technology and you’ve got the ultimate 20 ga. slug. To set the best performing slug apart fro the rest of the 20 ga. field, Lightfield is loading the Mag-20 in a flaming red hull instead of the traditional yellow.

The Lightfield Hybred Mag-20 slug fills the entire bore with a thin, two-piece plastic sabot gripping the rifling and imparting stabilizing spin on the slug. At setback (the moment of ignition), the soft, all lead Hybred slug swells to fill any bore, making it accurate in virtually all guns.

Constitution Arms Tri-Plex Multi-Projectile .38 spl Cartridge

Palm Pistol

MAPLEWOOD, NJ - -(Ammoland.com)- Constitution Arms has completed its development of the ultra low recoil Tri-Plex(tm) cartridge. The round was developed in cooperation with the powder manufacturer and was subjected to in-house and independent laboratory testing.

The Tri-Plex is a patent pending triple-projectile .38 special standard load cartridge containing three stacked conical projectiles which at close range deliver a 158 grain payload that reliably separates and tumbles upon entering tissue. This provides similar energy transfer and physiological effect to an expanded semi-wadcutter hollow point (SWC-HP) bullet, but with significant improvements including a larger ballistic wound channel, greater hit probability, lower velocity and less recoil.

This makes it ideal for use with the Palm Pistol and other short barreled self-defense firearms such as snub nosed revolvers and Bond Arms handguns.

Principle findings, based on testing, were:

1. The Tri-Plex(tm) creates up to 49% larger ballistic wound channel than a standard load SWC-HP cartridge.
2. The Tri-Plex(tm) creates up to 11% larger ballistic wound channel than a +P SWC-HP cartridge
3. The Tri-Plex(tm) has a 200% greater hit probability and ballistic wound channel at 10 feet than an un-expanded single projectile cartidge.

Detailed test results, including external and terminal ballistics data, can be viewed at below:

The cartridge will be available for sale mid-April 2011. Advanced orders can be placed now on the Palm Pistol(r) website at www.cts.vresp.com/c/?ConstitutionArms/defd9c8841/94aa85caca/41a1313b02. Quantities will be limited.

Tri-Plex Multi-Projectile 38 Spl Cartridge

About:
The Palm Pistol is an ergonomically innovative single shot double action only defensive firearm chambered in 9mm that may be fired using either hand without regard to orientation of the stock. Suited for home defense, concealed carry or as a backup gun. It is also ideal for seniors, disabled or others who may have limited strength or manual dexterity. Using the thumb instead of the index finger for firing, it significantly reduces muzzle drift, one of the principal causes of inaccurate targeting. Point and shoot couldn’t be easier.

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.

Hornady Ammunition

Grand Island, NE - -(AmmoLand.com)- Superformance ammunition is 100 to 200 fps FASTER than any conventional ammunition on the market today, and achieves this performance in EVERY gun, WITHOUT increases in felt recoil, muzzle blast, temperature sensitivity, fouling or loss of accuracy.

Innovative
Superformance is a cutting edge technological advancement in ammunition design that transcends convention and achieves the highest performance of any ammunition on the market today.

Specialized
Superformance uses ultra progressive propellants that take your favorite SST or GMX bullets to levels of performance that are simply unattainable with conventional propellants. In order to get more velocity in the past – shooters have used a brute force approach – large charge weights of a slow burning powder in a larger cartridge case. Ultimately this leads to more recoil and muzzle blast. The Superformance solution is an elegant approach that utilizes specialized powders…at NORMAL charge weights, that impart ALL useable energy to the bullet reducing the ROCKET NOZZLE EFFECT at the muzzle while still increasing velocity!

Versatile
Superformance provides increased performance, and is safe to use in ALL firearms, including semi-autos, lever gun and pump actions.

Increases in rifle performance, no increases in barrel wear and felt recoil, along with superior temperature stability are all realized with Superformance ammunition.

Increased speed, accuracy, and lethality – Superformance is a new breed of SUPER Premium ammunition that delivers it all!

It really IS… Rocket Science!
