338 Lapua Magnum - 285 Grain ELD Match - Hornady - 20 Rounds

Hornady's Extremely Low Drag (ELD) match line of ammunition is designed to give match and competition shooters the best long distance cartridges available. Each round in this box of 20 is 285 grains, boxer primed, and loaded in new production brass cases that are re-loadable. These cartridges feature a heat shield tip that does not deform at high velocity. Most standard polymer tip projectiles show some deformation at long ranges (400 yrds +) due to the tip melting from friction with the air, resulting in a reduction of the ballistic coefficient. While this is not an issue for most shooters, Hornady engineered a heat resistant polymer tip that keeps the projectiles ballistic coefficient very high all the way to impact. This results in the highest degree of bullet-to-bullet and lot-to-lot accuracy. Hornady ammunition is American made in their Grand Island, Nebraska facility. Try out these premium long distance loads and see why so many shooters and hunters trust the Hornady name.

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.
