338 Lapua Magnum - 250 Grain HPBT MatchKing - Vairog - 50 Rounds

One of the most accurate long-range rifle cartridges meets one of the most accurate long-range rifle bullets. This 338 Lapua Magnum ammunition by Vairog is loaded with the MatchKing by Sierra so you can ring steel time zones away! The MatchKing is Sierra’s preeminent competition bullet, which has won more matches than all other manufacturers’ bullets – combined. It achieves this with the aid of its match jacket, which is drawn within a concentricity standard of ±0.0003”, as well as its weight which is held within a standard of ±0.3 grains. The MatchKing’s uniform dimensions are further complemented by its form-fitting lead core, as well as its boat tail which enhances its G1 ballistic coefficient to 0.600. By our math this round’s velocity shouldn’t become subsonic until 1,370 yards! Vairog loads this 338 Lapua Magnum sharpshooting ammunition at their production facility in Cleveland, Tennessee. They use only match-grade brass, primers and propellant charges, and adhere to a stringent quality assurance protocol from phase one until final inspection.

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.
