308 - 178 Grain ELD-X - Black Hills Gold - 20 Rounds
Hornady invested a Herculean amount of effort into the development of their ELD bullet, even going so far as to buy a Doppler radar so they could more precisely record its ballistic coefficient. The reward for so much work was the ELD – the definition of a match accurate bullet. The ELD exhibits almost negligible drag thanks to its secant ogive profile, aerodynamic boat tail, and secant ogive geometry. Its polymer tip is also immune to air friction, thus assuring it doesn’t deform to spoil its trajectory. This 308 Win round by Black Hills features the ELD-X. It is every bit as aerodynamic as the ELD, yet additionally offers devastating terminal performance for hunting. At high velocity impact within 400 yards the ELD-X’s InterLock ring promotes up to 60 percent weight retention to ensure a very deep wound channel. Over longer distances the ELD-X retains up to 90 percent of its weight as its Heat Shield tip jams inward to commence big terminal expansion. This round’s bullet went from Hornady’s factory in Nebraska to Black Hills’ production facility in South Dakota, making it a true Midwestern endeavor. Black Hills’ Gold label 308 hunting ammo features precision tapered brass to promote the smoothest chambering, as well as matched primers and propellant for peak reliability and accuracy.
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.
