Hornady Triple Defense ammo is a new load specifically designed for the Taurus Judge and other similar .410/.45 Colt revolvers. This new load is part of the company’s Critical Defense line of ammunition.
This specific round stacks a non-jacketed (bare lead only) FTX slug on top of two .35 caliber round balls. Standard 00-buckshot is .33 caliber and 000-buck is .36 caliber. So, the two balls are slightly larger than 00, but not quite 000-buckshot.
The new Coonan Silver Bullets are likely the ultimate piece in your anti-werewolf arsenal. Just released, these new .357 Magnum rounds feature bullets that are jacketed in 99% pure silver.
Exact specs are not available on the cartridges but assume they are powerful enough to both reliably cycle the Coonan .357 Magnum 1911 and to drop the evil undead in their tracks.
The rounds are loaded for Coonan by Atomic Ammunition, a company that manufactures match ammo that is smokin’ hot. According to Coonan’s Facebook page, these rounds are “…loaded very hot.”
In 2005, Smith & Wesson filed a patent application for a “high velocity ammunition system and firearm.” The abstract stated the bullets fired from this handgun would achieve muzzle velocities in excess of 25,000 fps!
Let’s put 25,000 fps into context…
When I started reading the patent application, I expected that the 25,000 fps was a typo. It just seemed so far outside the realm of possibility to achieve those speeds from any conventional firearm, much less a handgun.
Federal introduced the Expanding Full Metal Jacket (EFMJ) a few years back, and those rounds have been fairly well received. More recently, the company introduced the Guard Dog line of personal defense ammunition, which uses similar technology.
The design concept is to achieve an expanding bullet without using a traditional hollow point. In some pistols, a hollow point bullet design doesn’t reliably feed. Even more, people run into the problem of hollow-point ammunition not being legal in some places (like the entire state of New Jersey). Another problem with traditional hollow points is that material can plug the hollow point and prevent expansion.
If you’re into rock-n-roll, shooting, hunting, or you’re into all of the above, then you’ve probably heard of Ted Nugent. For a long time, Ted has been a very outspoken advocate of gun rights and hunting. Some might even raise him to the level of a crusader for the promotion of guns and the right to use them.
In addition to a very successful singing career, Uncle Ted, as he’s affectionately known, has become a familiar face to those who watch the Outdoor Channel or other hunting and shooting venues. Ted has his own hunting show, where he shows off his incredible ranch in Texas and hunts a variety of game animals with an incredible selection of fine firearms and bows.
Well, now Uncle Ted has decided to add his name to a brand of ammunition. Distributed by American Tactical out of Rochester, NY, the Ted Nugent Hi-Performance Ammunition is not going to be a gimmick cartridge. On the contrary, Mr. Nugent has demanded the very best for his name to be associated with.
