Federal Will Launch More Than 130 New Products at the 2020 SHOT Show

Saturday, January 11th, 2020

ANOKA, Minnesota – January 10, 2020 – Federal, the largest ammunition manufacturer of the world, will announce an estimated total of 133 individual product SKUs in more than 34 cataloged product lines during the 2020 SHOT Show (Booth No. 14551), January 21-24 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“This year, Federal has set a company record for the number of new loads and components introduced, and we are certainly quite proud of this accomplishment,” said Federal President Jason Vanderbrink. “Our manufacturing expertise, built over 98-years, means hunters and shooters of all stripes can get the new product that best meets their needs and interests.”

New for 2020 product launch highlights include: 

Punch – This bullet’s skived jacket and soft lead core produce the best expansion and penetration for the price. Nickel-plated brass and sealed primers deliver reliable feeding and ignition. Available in 5 popular handgun options.

Terminal Ascent – Bonded construction penetrates deep, while the patented Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion even at lower velocities and long range. AccuChannel groove technology improves accuracy and minimizes drag. Available in eleven of the most popular hunting cartridges and as component bullets.

Force X2 – Nine copper-plated 00 FX2 buckshot pellets split into two equal-size pieces on impact. Double the wound channels, improved energy transfer to the target, and less potential for over-penetration.

MeatEater Series – Federal has partnered with conservationist, chef, author and hunter Steven Rinella on an exclusive new line of ammunition, featuring Trophy Copper rifle ammunition, 3rd Degree turkey loads and all-new Federal Premium Bismuth shotshells.

Hydra-Shok Deep 380 Auto – This line has been extended with the first expanding 380 Auto load to penetrate at least 12 inches in bare gel and through heavy clothing.

Solid Core – This deep-penetrating, hard bullet holds together while blowing through bone, and its Syntech jacket reduces friction and leading. Intended for hunting and protection against dangerous animals. Available in 6 offerings ranging from 9mm Luger to 44 Rem. Magnum.

Practice & Defend Packs – Convenient packs include 50 HST Personal Defense loads and 50 ballistically identical Syntech Training Match rounds for the most realistic practice. Available in four product options.

Swift Scirocco II – High ballistic coefficients produce flat trajectories, while retaining more velocity and energy downrange. Available in nine loads from 243 Win. to 300 Win. Magnum.

6.5 PRC Gold Medal Berger Hybrid – The hot 6.5 PRC has joined the Gold Medal Berger line. The loads offer high ballistic coefficients and Gold Medal match primers.

“Being the largest ammunition manufacturer isn’t just boasting. It matters, because it allows Federal to deliver the widest range of new products to our customers every year,” said Vanderbrink. “Being the size we are means we can produce the quantity needed to fulfill military and law enforcement contracts, while also offering an unmatched variety to everyone—rimfire, shotshell, handgun and rifle ammo, as well as primers, cases and component bullets for reloaders.”

All these new products, and many more will be on display at Booth No. 14551 for customers to view and learn full details. Learn more at Federal and all its ammunition products visit: www.federalpremium.com.

Big Horn Armory to Exhibit at the 2020 SHOT Show

Wednesday, January 8th, 2020

All of BHA’s popular big-bore firearms will be on display at 3DEO Metal 3D Printing’s Booth no. 52104 during the 2020 SHOT Show, to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 21 – 24, 2020.

Cody, Wyo. (January 2020) – Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, will be exhibiting all of its most popular big-bore firearms at 3DEO Metal 3D Printing’s booth no. 52104 at the SHOT Week Supplier Showcase during the 2020 SHOT Show, to held in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 21 – 24, 2020. The SHOT Week Supplier Showcase will be held Jan. 20 – 21, 2020 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Palazzo Ballroom, 5th Floor in the Venetian Hotel Meeting Rooms. The SHOT Week Supplier Showcase is a dedicated event for suppliers to present their products to shooting, hunting, and outdoor manufacturers.

?BHA is not your average gun manufacturer. Founded in 2008 with the goal of designing a Browning type lever action gun, chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum, they build guns that give them a reason to jump out of bed in the morning, and for them, that means the bigger the better. The first gun to start shipping in Sept. 2012 was the Model 89. The design closely follows the work of Browning, with some modern metallurgy and machining techniques. BHA was so enamored with the power of the 500 Smith & Wesson in a rifle, that they decided to keep going big with their latest project, the AR500. Whether it’s packing 36,800 ft. lbs. of energy in a lever-action, or building the most powerful AR on the market, BHA’s goal is to give the customer the biggest bang for his or her buck.

The Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show) is the largest and most comprehensive trade show for all professionals involved with the shooting sports, hunting and law enforcement industries. It is the world’s premier exposition of combined firearms, ammunition, law enforcement, cutlery, outdoor apparel, optics, and related products and services. The SHOT Show attracts buyers from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. More than 58,000 industry professionals packed the aisles in 2019.

Speer to Introduce Nine New Products at the 2020 SHOT Show

Tuesday, January 7th, 2020

LEWISTON, Idaho – January 7, 2020 – Speer is introducing several new, high-performance products at the 2020 SHOT Show (Booth No. 14551), January 21-24 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Attendees who stop by Speer’s booth will get a first look at the all-new Gold Dot Carry Gun, Gold Dot 5.7x28mm, and Gold Dot Rifle Personal Protection ammunition.

“We are very excited to launch nine outstanding products from Speer in 2020, said Speer Product Director Mike Holm. “Options include the industry’s first 5.7x28mm round designed specifically for self-defense, a Gold Dot handgun product line optimized for compact carry pistols, and new self-defense rifle loads optimized for peak FBI protocol performance though barrels shorter than 16 inches. All this new ammunition is sure to grab the attention and exceed the expectations of all self-defenders seeking options for these types of firearms.”

Speer has broken new ground with an all-new Gold Dot® load—the first 5.7x28mm round specifically designed for self-defense. Like all Gold Dot ammunition, the bullet is built using Speer’s exclusive Uni-Cor method. The jacket is bonded to the core one atom at a time, virtually eliminating core-jacket separation and creating a projectile that’s accurate, tough and consistent through all common barriers. High-quality brass, reliable primers and specially formulated propellant produce optimal feeding and ballistics in 5.7x28mm firearms.

Designed specifically for compact pistols, Speer has built upon the law-enforcement proven Gold Dot G2 bullet, optimizing the design and loading to provide superior feeding, ballistics and terminal performance through compact concealed handguns. Gold Dot Carry Gun features several exclusive bullet design features, the result is extremely uniform expansion, better separation of the petals, and more consistent penetration across barrier types. Available in 9mm Luger 135-grain, 40 S&W 165-grain and 45 Auto +P 200-grain.

New Gold Dot Short Barrel rifle is engineered to provide industry-leading performance in FBI protocol testing through barrels less than 16 inches long. Its bullets are built using Speer’s exclusive Uni-Cor® method. The jacket is bonded to the core one atom at a time, virtually eliminating core-jacket separation and creating a projectile that’s accurate, tough and consistent through all common barriers. Available in three options for 223 Rem. plus 308 Win. and 300 BLK.

Speer has been a trusted name in ammunition business for more than 75 years. The iconic manufacturer’s reputation for making the world’s finest component bullets and loaded cartridges goes all the way back to 1943. Speer is proud of its longstanding success and looks forward to a bright future ahead.
