idon’t care if you’re shooting at paper or steel, bull
elk, bear, Buicks or bad guys, there’s ammo out
there purpose-built to meet your needs. I suspect
many of you are like me, in that I’m not real picky
about bulk blastin’ ammo, but I carefully select ammo
for specific applications like in-home defense — and
“second best” just doesn’t cut it. But you don’t have to
settle for second best, ya lucky dog, not with all these
great choices!
1What’s an ammo company to do when they’ve already got a
handful of the top defensive handgun rounds in the industry?
Make another one, of course! Hornady’s Critical Defense loads
use nickel cases and low-flash propellants designed to deliver maximum
velocity even from short barrels, topped off with FtX slugs. the polymer
insert is rigid enough it won’t clog-up when penetrating heavy clothing,
but soft enough to deliver extreme terminal performance when it hits
soft tissue. Now available in .380, .38 Special and 9mm, it’s made specifically
to meet the needs of concealed-carry shooters.
2Here’s another highly-engineered slug loaded by a company
whose name says “reliability” of the utter-and-absolute variety:
Black Hills is now stuffing deep hollowpoint 100 percent copper
Barnes tac-XP bullets in 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP rounds. tac-XP’s
maintain original weight and track
straight through barriers like car doors,

PMR-30, a
S&W Model 351 PD, or
a Ruger New Model “Single-Nine” you might 3
need to stop somethin’ bigger than a bunny with? the new
Winchester PDX1 Defender 22 in .22 WMR is designed for optimal penetration
and maximum expansion. the jacketed hollowpoint 40-gr. slug leaps out at
1,295 fps from a 4" barrel, combining zip with punch!
4Looking for a deep penetrating, reliably expanding .460 S&W load for
elk, moose and big bear? Buffalo Bore has the round for you, a Buffalo
Barnes loaded with the 275-gr. solid copper Barnes XP slug. Exiting the
muzzle at 2,200 fps, this flyin’ sledge hammer doesn’t drop under Mach 1 for
380 yards! the Buffalo Barnes box reads “Strictly Business,” and this round gets
the business done.
