<\/h2>\nHornady Precision Hunter 6.5 PRC <\/strong><\/h2>\nConsidered by Hornady to be the big brother to the 6.5 Creedmoor, the new 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge (PRC)<\/a> is designed to be a low recoiling, highly accurate cartridge that dominates in long-range situations. With moderate powder charges, Hornady was able to produce a cartridge that is effective past 1,000 yards and can still be housed in medium to short action bolt guns. Hornady\u2019s Match load utilizes the 147-grain ELD bullet, while the Precision Hunter line features the 143-grain ELD-X. The Precision Hunter variant has a muzzle velocity of roughly 2,960 fps, with 2,780 ft.-lbs. of energy.<\/p>\nMSRP: $34.99 (According to BassPro.com)<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\nWinchester Hybrid X <\/strong><\/h2>\nOne of the most unique new loads for 2018 has got to be Winchester\u2019s Hybrid X in 9mm<\/a>, which features a 124-grain projectile that\u2019s composed of a polymer\/copper tip, with lead core and copper jacket. The fluted tip and copper\/polymer material follows the same principles as the Polycase Inceptor ARX, except that Winchester added a lead core to increase the bullet weight to 124 grains. According to Winchester, the bullet is designed to create a massive wound channel similar to the ARX, but increased weight means deeper penetration, somewhere in the 10- to 12-inch range on ballistic gelatin. The lead and copper components separate, sending massive wound channels in different directions.<\/p>\nMSRP: TBD<\/p>\n![\"Best](\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/09-pmc-1024x683.jpg\" "\\"Best")

The bullet is also designed to promote smooth and reliable feeding, allowing for extreme performance and reliability with hollow point ammunition, all while maintaining reliable expansion on target. The new SFX ammunition is a re-engineered upgrade to the Starfire line.<\/p>\nMSRP: TBD<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\nHEVI-Snow <\/strong><\/h2>\nDesigned to give wingshooters greater payloads of large pellets at higher speeds, HEVI-Snow is sure to be a staple for snow geese hunters. HEVI-Snow is rates at 1,550 fps and, according to the company, delivers roughly 7 percent more energy than other steel shotshells.

<\/h2>\nKent First Dove <\/strong><\/h2>\nNew for 2018, Kent<\/a> introduced three dove loads to cover a broad spectrum of hunting applications and shotgun needs. Among them is First Dove, a value-priced shotshell for high-volume situations. That means if you\u2019re planning a worldwide tour of wingshooting and want to save a few bucks, or if you\u2019re like me and go through a box of shells per dove, this is the load for you. First Dove is available in 2\u00be-inch shells for both 12 and 20 gauge. Diamond Dove is a high-velocity, high-payload shell that\u2019s ideal for high-flying doves like the White Wing, and Steel Dove meets the requirements of those needing non-toxic shot.<\/p>\nMSRP: $TBD<\/p>\n![\"Best](\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/06-blackhills-1024x683.jpg\" "\\"Best")

Black Hills Honey Badger in .45-70 <\/strong><\/h2>\nBlack Hills introduced its Honey Badger<\/a> handgun load last year, a cartridge that features a Lehigh Defense solid copper bullet with four wide, sharp flutes. The bullet does not rely on expansion for creating a massive wound channel, so common barriers cannot clog a hollow point and prevent optimum performance. The .45-70 load features a 325-grain bullet that creates a 7-inch wound channel up to 3 feet deep. Talk about stopping power! The load figures to be lethal on hogs and other big game.<\/p>\nMSRP: Averages around $1.40\/round (According to Midway USA)<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\nInceptor RNP <\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Inceptor ARX bullet has been around for a while now, so shooters have come to trust the performance of the copper-polymer projectile. New for 2018 is Inceptor\u2019s <\/a>Sport Utility Ammo, which features a Round Nose Precision (RNP) bullet that\u2019s designed to shoot to the same point of impact as the defense variant. The beauty of the new RNP ammo is that it\u2019s highly frangible, making it ideal for training purposes. When shot against a steel target, standoff distances of just a few feet are required, providing a safe, accurate ammunition for training. The new RNP ammunition is available in 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, .45 Auto, and .38 SPL.<\/p>\nMSRP: $TBD<\/p>\n![\"Best](\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/04-federal-1024x683.jpg\" "\\"Best")
