2018 Precision Rifle Ammo Roundup

By G&A Staff

Ammunition is a variable in the longrange game that many shooters take into their own hands. However, there are plenty of quality factory loads on the market for those who don’t have the time or inclination to roll their own. From brand-new cartridges to line extensions, this year is bringing some serious firepower.

Hornady Precision Hunter

Ethical shots on long-distance game require a deadly combination of accuracy and terminal performance. Removing either from the equation results in a bad day for all involved. This year, industry titan Hornady has added nine new loads to their appropriately named Precision Hunter line. The best-in-class ballistic coefficients (BCs) of Hornady’s popular ELD-X bullets with Heat Shield tip give hunters the ability to reach out and touch ’em, while the high InterLock ring and thick jacket shank combine to create devastating terminal performance at both conventional and long distances (400-plus yards). Hornady’s clean-burning propellants and legendary consistency provide shooters the confidence they need for the hunt of a lifetime.
