$379.99

.470 Nitro Express 500 grain Barnes TSX- TheĀ .470 Nitro Express is a rifle cartridge developed by Joseph Lang in England for dangerous game hunting in 1907. This cartridge is used almost exclusively in double rifles for hunting in the tropics or hot climate. It is in wide use in the Southern and Central-East African region, favoured by hunting guides, primarily while out for Cape buffalo and elephant. Due to the heavy bullet and powder charge, the gun has significant recoil but this is mitigated by the low velocity, resulting in recoil being delivered as a strong push rather than a violent blow. Rifles chambered for this cartridge tend to be heavy double-gun style, and are typically quite expensive. The .470 NE continues to be the most popular of all theĀ Nitro ExpressĀ cartridges.

The .470 NE was originally designed by Lang’s as a replacement for the .450 Nitro Express, after the .450 NE was banned in several countries including India. This wasn’t because the .450 NE was underpowered or inadequate, but because its bullets could be removed from loaded rounds for use by natives in stolen .577/.450 Martini Henry rifles. The .470 is a well-balanced cartridge. It is perfect for elephant but will take lion and anything in between, all without the severe recoil generated by the .500 and larger caliber Nitro Express cartridges. the .470ā€™s trajectory drops fast past one hundred yards, but this is inconsequential. It is a purpose built tool for life or death circumstances at close quarters and excels at the job.

Choice Ammunition, and our 100% Hand-Loading techniques- produce a round of ammunition for the .470 Nitro that is demanded in dangerous game hunting. Accuracy, consistency and dependability are crucial at that final moments of such an encounter. Choice Ammunition takes this responsibility seriously by meticulously weighing each powder charge with our proprietary formulas and temperature insensitive powders, seating the bullet at the exact length for optimal performance and test firing each and every lot of ammunition at an average of 500% over industry average. We have no high speed production machines- only passionate and dedicated load technicians pulling each and every handle, producing one round of ammunition at a time. This insures whereverĀ your travels may take you- you can depend on our premium ammunition to close out your hunt.

    416 Remington Mag .416 Remington Magnum 400 Grain Swift A-Frame & Breakaway Solid ~ Dangerous Game Solid/Soft Point Pack~100% Hand Loaded !! Rounds Per Box: 40
     $469.99
    Add to wishlist

    .416 Remington Magnum 400 Grain Dangerous Game Combo 20/20 Game Pack!Ā Ā TheĀ .416 Remington MagnumĀ is a .416 caliber (10.6Ā mm) of a belted bottle-necked design. The cartridge was intended as aĀ dangerous gameĀ hunting cartridge and released to the public in 1989. The cartridge uses the case of theĀ 8 mm Remington MagnumĀ as a parent cartridge. When the cartridge was released in 1988, authorĀ Frank C. BarnesĀ considered the .416 Remington Magnum to be the ā€œmost outstanding factory cartridge introduced in decadesā€.

    The cartridge was conceived as a less costly alternative to theĀ .416 RigbyĀ cartridgeĀ and was intended to replace the latter. While today the .416 Remington Magnum is considered in the field the most popular of the .416 cartridges,Ā the .416 Remington did not replace the .416 Rigby as had been anticipated. Rather, it sparked a renewed interest in the .416 caliber (10.36Ā mm) cartridges which led to the revival of the .416 Rigby and the introduction of other .416 cartridges such as theĀ .416 Weatherby MagnumĀ and theĀ .416 Ruger.

    The .416 Remington Magnum is one of the more popular dangerous game cartridges used for the hunting of dangerous game in Africa. It also has been increasingly used inĀ North America, inĀ AlaskaĀ in particular for the hunting ofĀ  bears.

    Choice Ammunition meticulously hand-loads 100% of our ammunition to insure superior performance, accuracy and reliability. These 400 grain Swift A-Frame and Break-Away Solid bullets for the 416 Remington are ideal for dangerous game and large bodied animals. Donā€™t compromise with ā€œFactoryā€ ammunition when it really counts! Choice Ammunition utilizes only the finest components and proprietary loading formulas meticulously assembled with temperature insensitive powders. This insures wherever your travels may take you- you can depend on our premium ammunition to close out your hunt.

    We have matched identical performance and point of impact both the Swift Break-Away Solid ad the Swift A-Frame! Shoot with confidence no matter the conditions on your dangerous game hunt. Designed for large, dangerous game, such as the “Big Five” (elephant, rhino, cape buffalo, lion and leopard) this Combo Pack offers great performance while offering manageable recoil.

    The Bullets-

    Ā Ā 

    Swift A-Frame- For 28 years the Swift A-Frame rifle bullets have set the standard by which all bonded bullets are measured.

    243 Winchester .243 Winchester 87 Grain Berger VLD Hunting~100% Hand Loaded !! Rounds Per Box: 20
     $51.99
    Add to wishlist

    .243 Winchester 87 Grain Berger VLD-Hunting~Ā Our 100% Hand-Loaded .243 Winchester 87 grain Berger VLD-H rounds are loaded with extremely tight tolerances, producing highly accurate, consistent and reliable performance with each and every shot!

    TheĀ .243 WinchesterĀ (6Ɨ52mm) is a popular sportingĀ rifleĀ cartridge. Initially designed as a target/varmint round, it may be used for animals such as coyotes, blacktail deer, whitetail deer, mule deer, pronghorns, and wild hogs. It can also be used against larger animals such as black bears and elk but is sometimes said to be “too light” for such large animals. Rounds of at least 90 grains are better suited for hunting larger animals while rounds less than 90 grains are more suitable for varmints.Ā The .243 is based on a necked downĀ .308 cartridgeĀ case. It is very popular with target shooters,Ā metallic silhouette, and long range shooters, because of its accuracy and low recoil.Ā This cartridge was first introduced in 1955 for theĀ Winchester Model 70Ā bolt-action andĀ Model 88Ā lever-action sporting rifles and quickly gained popularity among sportsmen worldwide.Ā Just about every major manufacturer offers rifles chambered in .243.

    Our 100% Hand-Loaded 87 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. If you donā€™t load your own ammunition- let us do it for you!

    The Bullet-Ā 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 Weatherby 180 Grain Nosler AccuBond~Ā Roy Weatherby already had experience with other custom cartridges such as his ownĀ .270 Weatherby MagnumĀ when he created the .300 Weatherby. Like most of his other magnum cartridges, this is based on a blown-outĀ .300 H&H MagnumĀ case, using the signature Weatherby double-radius shoulder.

    It is often debated which came first theĀ 300 Winchester MagnumĀ or the 300 Weatherby Magnum, the Weatherby was first 1944 vs the Winchester was introduced in 1963.Ā With theĀ .300 Remington Ultra MagnumĀ being introduced in 1999.Ā Historically, Weatherby claimed that this is the most powerful .30 caliber magnum rifle commercially available, but the recently introducedĀ .300 RUMĀ and Weatherbyā€™s ownĀ .30-378 Weatherby MagnumĀ are now more powerful.Ā One could say, the .300 Weatherby was 50 years ahead of its time as it has only been recently that suitable optics and range finders for long range hunting have been available to the public at affordable prices.

    The .300 Wby is in common use byĀ big-game huntersĀ all over the world.

    Choice Ammunition has taken our 100% hand-loading techniques and produce an extremely accurate, highly dependable round for the .300 Weatherby 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 this 180 grain Nosler AccuBond round the best you can buy on the commercial market today.

    The Bullet

    Through an exclusive bonding process that eliminates voids in the bullet core, AccuBond couples Noslerā€™s proven copper-alloy jacket with its special lead-alloy core. The result is a bullet that flies true, penetrates deep and retains its weight, without causing extensive barrel fouling. The unique white polymer tip resists deforming and initiates expansion on impact. Noslerā€™s Solid Base at the rear of the bullet acts as a platform for large diameter mushrooms.

    • Velocity 3,180 fps
    • 100% Hand Loaded
    • G-1 BC 0.507

    These high-performance rounds provide excellent reliability, consistency, accuracy and stopping power for hunting most game.

    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.

    Our 100% Hand-Loaded Barnes 80 grain TTSX 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 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.
