The U.S. Army has awarded Winchester, the largest manufacturer of small-caliber ammunition for the U.S. military, with a $9 million cost-plus contract to complete a manufacturing study in support of tracer projectile production for the 6.8 mm Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) program. Work will be performed at the Lake City …

Oregon-based HEVI-Shot has been producing top-of-the-line non-toxic shotshell hunting loads for the past 22 years. It doesn’t make centerfire or rimfire ammo (yet…) and it doesn’t load anything with lead. So, for shotgunners looking for options for hunts in lead-restricted areas: HEVI-Shot is it. In 2000, HEVI-Shot started up with the goal …

I was sitting at the shooting bench in Lander, Wyo., to check my rifle’s zero before the next morning’s hunt. I was there for the One Shot Antelope Hunt—a prestigious event with a dignified provenance—with teammates Larry Weishuhn and Chris Sells (of HeymUSA) when Chris and I began comparing notes. He was …

It could be easily and successfully argued that Benelli’s Super Black Eagle 2 (SBE2), which made its debut in 2004, is the most successful 3½”-chambered, 12-ga. semi-automatic shotgun of all time. Like its predecessor, the SBE2 was ultra-reliable (even when neglected) due to its simplistic, yet innovative, design. As good as …

It’s election time, and supposedly “independent fact-checkers” are again bending the truth to support a political agenda. This time they are contorting evidence and linguistics to insist it is “mostly false” that “red flag laws” allow the government “to confiscate your firearms without due process.” For some time now, the …

Just before the midterm election on November 8, former President Bill Clinton (D) put out a gun-control video. “We must act now,” said the former president, as he voiced support for a ban on commonly owned semi-automatic firearms, standard-capacity magazines and more. It is as if the polls are showing voters are …
