Federal Premium Edge TLR All-Range Hunting Ammunition combines match-bullet design with the industry’s best bonding technology and an exclusive Slipstream tip crafted from the most heat-resistant polymer to assure consistent ballistics. There’s never been a hunting bullet that compares. Other so-called long-range bullets may fail to expand on distant impact at lower velocities, but the Edge TLR has demonstrated expansion out to 1,200 yards. A long, sleek profile with extremely high ballistic coefficient maintains velocity for flat trajectories with minimal wind-drift. AccuChannel groove technology enhances accuracy and reduces drag across the entire range spectrum while the copper shank and bonded lead core assure deep, reliable penetration. MSRP starts at: $47.95. For more information go online at: www.federalpremium.com

Hodgdon Powder Co. is marking its 70th anniversary with publication of The Gunpowder People: The Official Authorized History of Hodgdon Powder Company, by James W. Bequette. When Bruce “B.E” Hodgdon returned from serving in World War II, he took out a loan against a life insurance policy in order to buy surplus 4895 gunpowder to sell to handloaders. He had heard that the government scrapped surplus gunpowder by the shipload after WWI, and seized the business opportunity. Hodgdon, his wife Amy and sons J.B. and Bob built the Hodgdon Powder Co. into a multinational corporation. “The story of the Hodgdon family and the Hodgdon Powder Co. is the story of America,” said Steve Kehrwald, Hodgdon president and CEO. “We think it’s a story important to our customers and to our industry.” MSRP: $44.95 (includes shipping).
