Federal Terminal Ascent Bullets
Federal Terminal Ascent hunting bullet combines match-grade accuracy with the best components and bonding technology for reliable penetration and expansion at close or extreme long range. Solid-shanked with the lead core bonded to the copper jacket to assure weight retention for penetration and energy dump. Yet it mushrooms dependably on impact at velocities typically seen 1,200 yards downrange with a 200-grain high-speed .30 load. AccuChannel grooves improve accuracy while also decreasing barrel wear and fouling, and the highly technical grooves do it with minimal wind drag. The number and location of grooves are tailored to each caliber. Bullet shape boosts ballistic coefficient for even less wind drag. To assure the bullet mushrooms on impact, patent-pending hollow-core technology incorporates a small but deep cavity starting directly behind the ballistic tip. On impact, the tip breaks off and fluid enters the hollow core creating instant pressure that assures expansion at high or low velocity. High-end nickel plating gives the cartridges a signature appearance while also assuring smooth operation in the firearm’s action. Clean-burning propellant with ultra-reliable sealed primer. Initially offered in 11 cartridges that include 6.5 PRC, .280 Ackley Improved, and .28 Nosler. MSRP starts at $47.99. Terminal Ascent bullets also offered as components for handloading.

Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 may be the lightest baitcasting reel on the market at just 6.7 ounces. Yet the SV Spool and Airbreak are what really make this redesigned reel a standout, features that work together to reduce backlash while allowing amazing casting distance and control with light lures. Uses both magnetic and centrifugal breaking. Zero Adjuster setting lets you fine-tune spool tension while T-Wing level wind opens up line feed for those longer casts. Carbon drag can be set for up to 13.2 pounds. Standard (6.3:1), high speed (7.3:1), and hyper speed (8.1:1) gear ratios offered in left- and right-hand models. Aluminum frame and chassis. Seven ball bearings and one roller bearing. MSRP $199. For more information including the latest full-color catalog, phone (562) 375-6800 or go online at: www.daiwa.com/us/

SafeShoot was developed by Israeli veterans to prevent friendly-fire incidents, and the same technology can help prevent hunting accidents. The SafeShoot device easily attaches to most hunting firearms and automatically sounds an audible and visual alert whenever another SafeShoot-equipped hunter is downrange in the line of fire. Works at up to 1,000 yards day or night in all kinds of weather. Utilize radio signals, MEMS sensors, and GPS to create a network of safety for your entire hunting party. Unarmed companions carry a device that broadcasts the same signal to shooter devices. MSRP for SafeShoot $429.99; for non-shooter Defender $369.99.
