Federal Premium Tactical Lite Open Tip Match
From the range to a deadly force encounter, Federal Premium products are designed to make the best of even the most harrowing situation. The ATK company's extensive list includes duty and training pistol, rifle, shotshell, and slug ammunition.
Federal Premium Law Enforcement's new Lite Open Tip Match (LOTM) is designed to give match-grade accuracy and explosive performance on impact. Therefore, you can minimize the risk for collateral damage and get great terminal performance with the new LOTM. This 5.56x45mm ammunition is available in 50-grain and 43-grain offerings.
Federal Premium also offers a training version called BallistiClean RHT Lite Open Tip Match, the first lead-free training bullet to be accurate out to and past 200 yards (sub MOA). This entire load is completely non-toxic and frangible, so it's safe and ideal for use on an indoor range.
PMC Ammunition
Bronze Line Handgun
PMC prides itself on the quality and dependability incorporated throughout the company's extensive line of PMC training ammunition and standard hollow point or soft point ammunition. All PMC cartridges must pass through the rigorous inspection of an electronic powder check station. This station accurately measures the propellant charge in each round. If the propellant in any cartridge varies by a tiny amount-just two tenths of one grain-the system stops and that cartridge is discarded.
Ammunition in PMC's Bronze Line for handguns includes full metal jacket, jacketed hollow point, jacketed soft point, full metal jacket truncated cone, full metal jacket flat point, and truncated soft point.
Winchester
Ranger Bonded Ammunition
Rarely does an armed confrontation unfold in a manner that leaves the threat out in the open and easily susceptible to lethal force. Walls, automobiles, heavy clothing, and other objects easily influence the outcome. Law enforcement must be prepared with the best possible tools to deal with and overcome those barriers.
Winchester 's Ranger Bonded handgun ammunition was specifically created to deliver maximum penetration and effectiveness through the toughest of barriers. This effectiveness is made possible thanks to Winchester's proprietary core/jacket bonding process. A specifically designed hollow point cavity acts in unison with the bonded core and bullet jacket to control expansion. This control leads to maximum weight retention and deep penetration through hard and abrasive barriers including auto glass.
Ranger Bonded was recently selected by the FBI and other U.S. federal law enforcement agencies for both its 9mm and .40 S&W service round.
