New Rifle Loads from Black Hills Ammunition
By RichardBlack Hills Ammunition introduced several new rifle cartridge loadings at the 2009 SHOT Show.
In .223 Remington, Black Hills is producing two new cartridges featuring Barnes bullets. The first uses a 55 grain TSX bullet. The TSX is an all-copper bullet that is designed to fully expand on impact, yet still penetrate deeply.
The second new .223 loading uses the Barnes MPG (Multi-Purpose Green) bullet. The MPG is a fragmenting bullet designed for limited penetration. This load is good for ranges with steel targets as these bullets have limited ricochet potential. The MPG is lead-free.
Black Hills is also loading the TSX bullet in .243 Winchester now.
