.308 Winchester 178 Grain Hornady BTHP Match~Ā TheĀ .308 WinchesterĀ is a rimless, bottleneckedĀ  rifle cartridge and is the commercial cartridge from which the 7.62x51mm NATO round was derived. The .308 Winchester was introduced in 1952, two years prior to the NATO adoption of the 7.62Ɨ51mm NATO T65.Ā  Winchester branded the cartridge and introduced it to the commercial hunting market as the .308 Winchester. Winchesterā€™s Model 70, Model 100 andĀ  Model 88 rifles were subsequently chambered for the new cartridge. The .308 Winchester is one of the most popular hunting cartridges in the United States, and possibly the world. It has gained popularity in many countries as an exceptional cartridge for game in the medium- to large-sized class.Ā In North America it is used extensively on whitetail deer, pronghorn and even the occasional caribouĀ or black bear.

While .308 Winchester has traditionally been the most popular cartridge in the past, the development of lighter recoil chamberings with sufficient downrange energy, like theĀ 7mm-08 Remington,Ā .260 Remington, andĀ 6.5 Creedmoor, is becoming more common for metallic silhouette shooting.

Choice Ammunition has taken our 100% hand-loading techniques and produce an extremely accurate, highly dependable round for the .308 WinchesterĀ in this load. Our loading tolerances are only matched by passionate hand-loaders in their own loading rooms. Consistent seating depths, powder charges and proprietary formulas of Choice Ammunition, make 178 BTHP round the best you can buy on the commercial market today. We produce this round for numerous long-range schools that use Choice Ammunition exclusively- as well as competitive shooters across the country.

The bullet jackets are a technological advancement in design, tooling and manufacturing that combine to produce the most consistently concentric bullet jackets available. These proven AMPĀ jackets are the foundation for exceptional bullet accuracy and have virtually zero runout and near zero wall thickness variation. Coupled with precision swaged cores and manufactured to the tightest standards in the industry, all HornadyĀ Match bullets provide superior consistency, high ballistic coefficients and unprecedented levels of accuracy.

    6.5 Creedmoor 140 Grain Berger VLD-Hunting~Ā TheĀ 6.5mm Creedmoor, designatedĀ 6.5 CreedmoorĀ byĀ SAAMI,Ā is aĀ centerfireĀ rifleĀ cartridgeĀ introduced in 2007Ā as a modification of theĀ .30 TC,Ā which was based on theĀ .308 Winchester. It was designed specifically forĀ long-range target shooting,Ā although it is also achieving success inĀ gameĀ hunting.Ā Bullet for bullet, the 6.5mm Creedmoor achieves a slowerĀ muzzle velocityĀ than longer cartridges such as theĀ 6.5-284 NormaĀ orĀ magnum cartridgesĀ such as theĀ 6.5mm Remington Magnum. However, due to its 2.825 inches (71.8Ā mm)Ā overall length, it is capable of being chambered in short-actionĀ bolt-action riflesĀ andĀ AR-10Ā semi-automatic rifles.

    Long-range shooter Ray ā€œRayDogā€ Sanchez summarized theĀ bolt-actionĀ Tubb 2000Ā rifle in 6.5mm Creedmoor as ā€œboringly accurateā€ at 1,000 yards (910Ā m). He asserted the rifle and ammunition combination he used was able to maintain sub-MOA groups at 1000 yards.

    Our 100% Hand-Loaded 140 grain Berger VLD-Hunting rounds are loaded with extremely tight tolerances, producing highly accurate, consistent and reliable performance with each and every shot! Our proprietary load formulas and loading process create the finest round of ammunition available on the commercial market today we feel.

    The Berger VLDĀ Hunting bullet line features Very Low Drag (VLD) bullets that have the highest possible ballistic coefficient designed for 300 yards or more, the design incorporates a sharp nose that allows the bullet to penetrate 2ā€³ to 3ā€³ before it starts to expand. After the initial expansion, the bullet will shed between 40% and 85% of its weight as shrapnel into the surrounding tissue (internal organs). The combination between the shrapnel and the hydrostatic shock produces a massive wound cavity within the vital area that will be 13ā€³ ā€“ 15ā€³ long. This massive wound cavity results in the animal dropping fast since most go into shock after such a tremendous blow. Those animals that donā€™t go down immediately will soon succumb to blood pressure loss and/or organ failure producing a quick ethical kill.

    Add to wishlist

    .300 Winchester Magnum 220 grain Sierra Matchking HPBT~Ā TheĀ .300 Winchester MagnumĀ (also known asĀ .300 Win MagĀ orĀ 300WM) (7.62Ɨ67mm) is a belted, bottlenecked magnum rifle cartridge that was introduced by Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1963. The .300 Winchester Magnum is a magnum cartridge designed to fit in a standard rifle action. It is based on the .375 H&H Magnum, which has been blown out, shortened, and necked down to accept a .30 caliber (7.62Ā mm) bullet.Ā 

    The .300 Winchester is extremely versatile and has been adopted by a wide range of users including hunters, target shooters, military units, and law enforcement departments. Hunters found the cartridge to be an effective all-around choice with bullet options ranging from the flatter shooting 165 grain to the harder hitting 200+ grain selections available from the factory. The .300 Win Mag remains the most popular .30 caliber magnum with American hunters, despite being surpassed in performance by the more powerfulĀ .300Ā andĀ .30-378 Weatherby MagnumsĀ and the newerĀ .300 Remington Ultra Magnum.Ā It is a popular selection for hunting moose, elkĀ and bighorn sheep as it can deliver better long range performance with better bullet weight than most other .30 caliber cartridges. Military and law enforcement departments adopted the cartridge for long range sniping and marksmanship. As a testament to its accuracy, since its introduction it has gone on to win several 1,000-yard (910Ā m) competitions.

    Choice Ammunition has taken our 100% hand-loading techniques and produce an extremely accurate, highly dependable round for the .300 WinchesterĀ in this load. Our loading tolerances are only matched by passionate hand-loaders in their own loading rooms. Consistent seating depths, powder charges and proprietary formulas of Choice Ammunition, make 220 grain MatchKing HPBT round the best you can buy on the commercial market today. We produce this round for numerous long-range schools that use Choice Ammunition exclusively- as well as competitive shooters across the country.

    .223 Remington 55 Grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ)~Ā The development of the cartridge which eventually became the .223 Remington was intrinsically linked to the development of a new lightweight combat rifle. The cartridge and rifle were developed by Fairchild Industries, Remington Arms and several engineers working toward a goal developed by U.S. Continental Army Command (CONARC). Early development work began in 1957. A project to create a small caliber high velocity (SCHV) firearm was created.Ā Eugene StonerĀ ofĀ ArmaLiteĀ was invited to scale down theĀ AR-10Ā (7.62 mm) design. Winchester was also invited to participate.Ā The parameters requested by CONARC were:

    • .22 caliber
    • Bullet exceeding supersonic speed at 500 yardsĀ 
    • Rifle weight 6 lbs
    • Magazine capacity of 20 rounds
    • Select fire for both semi-automatic and fully automatic use
    • Penetration of US steel helmet one side, at 500 yards
    • Penetration of .135ā€³ steel plate at 500 yards
    • Accuracy and ballistics equal to M2 ball ammunition (.30-06Ā M1 Garand)
    • Wounding ability equal to theĀ M1 Carbine

    .257 Weatherby Magnum 115 Grain Berger VLD-Hunting~Ā TheĀ .257 Weatherby MagnumĀ is a .257 Caliber (6.35Ā mm) belted bottlenecked cartridge. It is one of the original standard length magnums developed by shortening theĀ .375 H&H MagnumĀ case to approx. 2.5Ā in (64Ā mm). Of the cartridges developed by Roy Weatherby in 1944, the .257 Weatherby Magnum was known to have been his favorite, and the cartridge currently ranks third in Weatherby cartridge sales, after theĀ .30-378 Weatherby MagnumĀ and theĀ .300 Weatherby Magnum.

    The .257 Weatherby Magnum is among one of the flattest shooting commercial cartridges.Ā The .257 Weatherby Magnum shares the same cartridge case as the .270 Weatherby Magnum and the 7mm Weatherby Magnum.Ā The .30 Super Belted Rimless H&H manufactured by Winchester served as the direct parent cartridge for the case design. The .257 Weatherby Magnum was one of the first cartridges which used the shortened,Ā blown out and necked down .375 H&H Magnum case and served as the forerunner to the standard length magnum cartridges such as the 7mm Remington Magnum and the .338 Winchester Magnum. There has been some speculation that Roy Weatherby may have used the full length .375 H&H Magnum case if he had slow burning powders available today when the cartridge was designed.

    25-06 Remington .25-06 Remington 80 Grain Barnes TTSX (lead free)~ 100% Hand Loaded !! Rounds Per Box: 20
     $73.99
    Add to wishlist

    .25-06 Remington 80 grain Barnes TTSX~ TheĀ .25-06 RemingtonĀ had been aĀ wildcat cartridgeĀ for half a century before being standardized byĀ RemingtonĀ in 1969. It is based on theĀ .30-06 SpringfieldĀ cartridge necked-down (case opening made narrower) to .257Ā caliber with no other changes. Nominal bullet diameter is 0.257 inches and bullet weights range from 75 to 120 grains.Ā The cartridge has less felt recoil than a 30-06 in a similar weight rifle, due to the lighter weight bullets used. Shooters who are recoil sensitive will find the recoil from the 25-06 bearable, but not pleasant enough to shoot all day long. This cartridge is not quite as powerful as theĀ .257 Weatherby Magnum, usually running 200ā€“300Ā ft/s (61ā€“91Ā m/s). slower with a given bullet weight.

    .25-caliber bullets typically have high ballistic coefficients without being heavy. This characteristic, when combined with the large case capacity of its parent .30-06 case, allows relatively high muzzle velocities without heavy recoil. The combination of high ballistic coefficients with high muzzle velocities give the .25-06 a very flat trajectory as well as retaining kinetic energy down-range. The .25-06 is generally considered to be a good round for medium-sized game such asĀ deerĀ andĀ antelopeĀ because of its combination of substantial kinetic energy and moderate recoil. The addition of a flat trajectory makes it particularly popular in plains states where the open fields can require longer-range shots on game, as this flatness tends to minimize range-estimation errors by the hunter.

    The Bullet~Ā 100-PERCENT COPPER BODY

    Image result for barnes ttsx

    Since its introduction in 2003, Barnesā€™ TSX Bullet has earned a reputation as ā€œthe perfect hunting bullet.ā€ Now, Barnes has improved on perfection by adding a streamlined polymer tip. The new Tipped TSX features the same 100-percent copper body with multiple rings cut into the shank. It delivers the same gnatā€™s-eyelash accuracy and ā€œdead right thereā€ performanceā€”but with an added polymer tip that boosts BC and improves long-range ballistics. The tip and a re-engineered nose cavity provide even faster expansion. Complete penetration, virtually 100-percent weight retention and four razor-sharp cutting petals that double bullet diameter means the new Tipped TSX creates more internal damage than any competing bullet. Instant expansion and perfect penetration ensures cleaner, quicker kills.

    The Bullet-

    Image result for nosler partition

    Noslerā€™s special lead alloy, dual core provides superior mushrooming performance at virtually all impact velocities. The Partitionā€™s fully tapered copper jacket gradually thickens along the bulletā€™s axis, controlling the coreā€™s mushroom for controlled, uniform expansion. An integral partition separates the bulletā€™s two cores, holding two-thirds of the bulletā€™s original weight in the rear core to fuel a deep penetration every time. Special crimp locks help the bullet resist deformation, even with the heaviest of magnum loads. Each Partition bullet is designed by Nosler engineers to give you the optimum length, weight, and ogive design for each caliber to give you maximum flight and terminal performance. Minimum impact velocity: 1800 fps.Ā There arenā€™t a lot of true disadvantages to this bullet because it is truly ā€œdebuggedā€ technology. Newer bullets are very specialized for certain uses ā€“ some are for large game, some are for long range, and some are just for penetration or expansion. The Nosler Partition is more of a ā€œjack of all trades and master of noneā€ at this stage in bullet technology.
