308 - 155 Grain HPBT MatchKing - Federal Gold Medal - 20 Rounds
Put on your best tuxedo and slick your hair straight back (or if you’re bald like me, polish your head). This 308 Win ammunition is for fancy shooting! Federal’s Gold Medal label ammo features the bullet that has been fired to win more target shooting competitions than all other bullets combined: the Sierra MatchKing. This cartridge sports the lighter 155 grain .30 cal MatchKing. It is a match grade hollow point boat tail, with a jacket that is drawn within an exacting concentricity standard of ±0.0003” in max variation. This is not a hunting bullet – the MatchKing only has a hollow point because its core is inserted into place so it can perfectly match the jacket’s contours once it hardens. The precision poured lead core possesses no voids that could have harmed balance, and it is measured so that no MatchKing deviates from 155 grains by more or less than 0.3 grains. The MatchKing ends in a boat tail, a feature which helps the HPBT retain more velocity, hold on to a flatter trajectory, and hold out against crosswinds. The MatchKing’s stellar accuracy is as valuable at the rifle range as it is for varmint hunting. Federal takes care to put the MatchKing’s consistent ballistics on full display by loading it with a premium brass case, benchrest-grade match primer, and specially formulated powder.
45 ACP - 155 Grain RHT Frangible - Speer Lawman - 50 Rounds
Even the most cautious shooter is subject to certain dangers when they train. Shooting at steel targets and against hard backdrops presents a real risk of splash-back, where copper and lead fragments ricochet back to do serious damage. Splash-back is also a common problem at indoor ranges, where poor ventilation may also cause toxic lead to linger in a carcinogenic haze! But Speer’s Lawman line of ammunition works to make all those risks moot. This 45 ACP cartridge features Speer’s 155 grain Reduced Hazard Training projectile. The frangible bullet is comprised of 100 percent compressed copper particles, which are hardened but not fused together in a process called sintering. The RHT accordingly stays intact as it feeds and fires, but crushes itself into powder when it slaps a steel target or other hard surface. And in conjunction with this round’s heavy metal free Clean-Fire primer, the RHT poses no threat of producing airborne lead that could have accumulated indoors. This round’s lightweight bullet grants it a fast muzzle velocity, although you will find Speer’s training ammo reliably mimics many other conventional self-defense loads. Speer gives their RHT a distinctive pattern on its tip for easy identification, and complements it with a new brass case and clean burning propellant for superior functionality in a semi-auto.
