Black Hills New Powerhouse Loads for 2015- Tactical-Life.com

Black Hills Ammunition has been producing top-quality reloaded rounds for decades as well as superb factory-new ammo. For 2015, the company is offering several new loads that cover all the bases.

First up is Black Hills’s new .338 Lapua Magnum, which features the 250-grain Nosler AccuBond bullet. While Black Hills has traditionally offered .338 Lapua Magnum ammo in target or match loadings previously, this new load, part of its Gold line, is geared more toward hunting. It should be able to tackle big game like bears, elk and moose with ease.

Black Hills also has a new .308 Winchester load featuring the 168-grain Sierra Tipped MatchKing (TMK) bullet, a polymer-tipped bullet with a high ballistic coefficient for greater terminal performance on target. It’s designed for a flat, long-range trajectory and extreme accuracy. Black Hills is also offering a 5.56mm NATO load with a 69-grain Sierra TMK bullet for this same purpose.

Another of Black Hills’ new 5.56mm loads features the 70-grain GMX (Gilding Metal eXpanding) bullet from Hornady. This bullet is designed to expand rapidly yet retain nearly 100 percent of its weight while providing deep penetration. It’s great for game (where legal) and law enforcement, as it can go through many common barriers.
