glock_logoGen 4 Glock pistols was one of the topics discussed by Michael Bane on his Down Range Radio podcast this week.  Bane did not suggest any new information, but did confirm the same information Eric Shelton reported on the Handgun Podcast last week.  Bane also suggested the new Glock will look very similar to the old Glock.

hornady_65grendelHornady has introduced several new hunting loads for 2010 including this one for the 6.5 Grendel.  Pushing a 123 grain Hornady A-MAX bullet at 2620 fps (1619 ft-lbs), this load gives the AR-platform guns a wider range of choices when hunting thin-skinned, medium sized game.

Additionally, Hornady stated they will also begin selling 6.5 Grendel brass and reloading dies to allow shooters to custom load their own cartridges.

Hornady 7.62×39 V-MAX Loads

By Richard · Comments (0)

hornady_762_vmaxHornady announced a new load for the 7.62×39 cartridge.  The new load in Hornady’s Custom line is a steel-cased, Berdan primed round topped with a 123 grain V-MAX bullet.  Muzzle velocity is rated at 2350 fps, which puts energy at 1508 ft-lbs.

Hornady’s V-MAX bullet has been popular with shooters, and with the number of AK and SKS variants on the market, I would venture to guess this will be a good seller for them.
