Another AcquisitionÂ

Bullet and ammunition manufacturer Nosler finalized a deal to purchase Silver State Armory (SSA). Â SSA makes high quality ammunition for hunting, law enforcement and the military. Â I met the guys from SSA several years ago at the SHOT Show, and was impressed by the staff and their products. Â Nosler is known for high quality, so hopefully this will be a good deal for not just Nosler and SSA, but for consumers also.

Bullet and ammunition manufacturer Nosler will introduce a new line of handgun and rifle self-defense ammunition at the 2013 SHOT Show next week. Â The Nosler Defense ammo will come in seven loads: one in .223 Remington and the remaining six across the three most popular handgun cartridges: Â 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP.

There will be two offerings from Nosler in each of the handgun calibers. Â One offering will be a traditional Bonded Performance hollowpoint, while the second load will be a polymer-tipped Bonded Performance hollowpoint. Â Deeper penetration and better performance through intermediate barriers are two of the reasons so many self-defense bullet designs use a core that has been bonded to the jacket. Â The polymer tip help prevents the clogging of the hollowpoint, while also helping to ensure bullet expansion.
