This segment from Gun Talk Radio discusses the new Remington Core-Lokt Tipped ammunition. Joel Hodgston from Remington Ammunition explains that the Core-Lokt line, known for controlled expansion, has been enhanced with a polymer tip. This innovation aims to improve ballistic coefficient, accuracy, and terminal performance for long-range hunting scenarios, offering a flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift compared to traditional Core-Lokt bullets. The discussion also touches on Remington's increased production capacity under Vista Outdoor and their commitment to producing a full catalog of ammunition.

This segment from Gun Talk Radio discusses the viability of the AR-15 platform, specifically in .223 caliber, for deer hunting. It highlights the importance of using specialized hunting ammunition, such as Black Hills with Barnes TSX bullets, and notes that modern ammunition advancements make the .223 a capable deer cartridge out to 300 yards. The discussion also touches on the use of mini shells for self-defense, emphasizing the need to ensure firearm compatibility.

This discussion between Tom Gresham and Ron Spomer delves into the nuances of rifle cartridges and bullet selection for hunting. They emphasize how modern bullet technology, particularly controlled-expansion and all-copper designs, has made previously marginal calibers more effective. The conversation highlights the importance of ballistic coefficient (BC) for wind drift, the role of faster twist rates in stabilizing high-BC bullets, and the trade-offs between recoil and cartridge performance. Spomer, a seasoned gun writer, shares insights from decades of hunting experience, explaining how advancements in bullet construction have influenced effective caliber recommendations.

This discussion between Tom Gresham and Ron Spomer explores the declining relevance of super-magnum cartridges in modern hunting. They emphasize how advancements in laser rangefinders, high ballistic coefficient bullets, and controlled expansion ammunition have made standard cartridges more effective. The conversation highlights the importance of shot placement, recoil management, and trigger control for accurate shooting, suggesting that smaller calibers with the right bullets can be highly effective for various game animals.
