Introducing the new 10mm 200-grain and
220-grain FP from Rim Rock Bullets. These
bullets were brought to market due to
popular demand from several writers and at
least one company that wanted hard-hitting
ammo for pistol hunters. The bullets are
made with 15 Brinell hardness lead.SHELL SHOCK TECHNOLOGIES

Shell Shock’s 9mm case
was hailed as “maybe
the greatest innovation in
firearms in 150 years” by
the folks at the VSO Gun
Channel. Not bad for their
first try! Next on the list,
the new .223/5.56x45mm
and 7.62x51mm rifle cases.
Fifty percent lighter and
50 percent more powder
capacity, these latest
additions will deliver
greater consistency between rounds, cost less than traditional brass, and can
be picked up with a magnet when the shooting’s over. All Shell Shock cases
are proudly made in the USA. Shell Shock – Shoot it! Love it!UNDERWOOD AMMUNITION

New from Illinois-based Underwood Ammunition, the Xtreme Defender is based on the
wildly popular Xtreme Penetrator product line. This new XD ammunition features an
optimized nose flute, along with the weight and velocity necessary to achieve the FBI
standard 18 inches of penetration. With a permanent wound cavity (PWC) described as
“enormous,” the XD’s solid copper body ensures no adverse effects occurring to the
projectile itself, despite encountering common law enforcement and personal defense
obstacles such as wallboard, sheetrock, sheet metal and automotive glass.ZERO BULLET COMPANY

Fifty-two years. That’s how long the folks at the
Zero Bullet Company have been manufacturing
jacketed handgun bullets. And their expertise
and craftsmanship show in their impressive
competitive championship wins. Team Zero
member Kevin Angstadt won the prestigious
Bianchi Cup in 2014 using the company’s
Number 136 9mm 125-grain jacketed
hollowpoint competition bullet. Kim Beckwith
has racked up multiple High Senior awards
at the cup with Zero’s .38 Super ammunitions.
The National Pistol Championship? Zero’s been
there and done that. Same with the Pistol 4-Man Team
Championships at Ohio’s Camp Perry. An impressive record, for a company
with equally as impressive credentials and products.AMMO INCORPORATED

The HoneyBadger line from Black Hills Ammunition gets more ferocious with the
new .40 S&W caliber. Experienced shooters, while impressed by the high velocity,
might be cautious about the lighter weight bullet, fearing overexpansion and
underpenetration. That is definitely not the case here.
The solid copper, fluted, sharp-edged design efficiently cuts through barriers
and reliably penetrates to 18 inches in 10 percent ballistic gelatin with no loss of
weight. Gelatin testing shows this combination outperforms hollowpoint bullets,
not only in terms of velocity, penetration and weight retention (100 percent), but
provides superior temporary cavity diameters of 3 to 3.75 inches.
This is the newest technology in handgun performance!
