45 Ammo You Can Count On
This article originally appeared at Ammoland. You can count on any and all .45 ammo, right? Can we all agree that any ammunition that says .45 ACP on the box is capable of the following? Leveling an entire city block, but it might take two rounds. Knocking an ill-tempered 350-pound wild boar into the next […]
Federal Premium Enhances Self-Defense Firepower With New Hydra-Shok Deep
Federal has new 9mm ammunition hitting the market. While not the first 9mm cartridge to split the weight difference between the “more or less standard” 124-grain and heavier 147-grain loads, it’s got some interesting possibilities. In testing over the years, we’ve seen mixed results with 147-grain hollow point bullets. They certainly penetrate and there’s no […]
New Federal Syntech Action Pistol Ammunition
I’ve been using Federal’s Syntech ammo – a lot – for the past year in the standard 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP offerings. It’s great stuff.

SHOT Show: New Federal Premium .38 Special For Snubbies
Here’s some interesting new ammo from Federal Premium. It’s designed specifically for all those short-barrel revolvers like Smith & Wesson 642s and similar, Ruger LCRs and others like them. The bullet is an HST design, so it’s designed to penetrate and expand at rated velocity, but it looks more like a traditional “oil-drum” wadcutter style. […]
