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 - 230 Grain FNEB - Remington Subsonic - 50 Rounds

Do you have a 45 ACP handgun? Do you also have a suppressor? Then all you need now is the ammo. Remington and Advanced Armament Corporation codeveloped this ammo so you can maximize your suppressed handgun’s performance. The 45 ACP is already a subsonic cartridge, and Remington’s Subsonic label ammo certainly doesn’t reinvent the wheel in that department. What this cartridge offers that’s special is its bullet: a flat nose enclosed base. No part of the bullet’s core is exposed to hot propellant gasses during ignition, so you can look forward to not having to scrub any lead residue off of your suppressor’s ports or baffles. This bullet’s flat nose profile won’t deliver terminal expansion. But if your objective is to avoid deafening yourself while you use your handgun during home defense, you’ll still find 230 grains of lead and copper suitable for the job. This bullet transfers more than 320 ft lbs of energy over any distance your home could possibly contain. Even if it hasn’t got a suppressor, your handgun should have zero difficulty cycling this brass-cased, non-corrosive and clean-burning American-made ammunition.
