Lapua Brass — Picking the Right Cartridges
What gets fired from a rifle? Even a child could answer this question: a bullet. Now, what do you load into a gun? This one is a trick question, and anyone who answers “a bullet” has given themself away as a novice. The correct answer is a cartridge — which contains a bullet, yes, but also consists of other components. Without a proper propellant, a sufficient primer, a solid rim, or a good case to hold it all together, the only thing that would happen when you pull a trigger is a click sound.
Understanding the anatomy of a cartridge is great for preventing yourself from loading up with duds, dummies, or squibs. Of course, that knowledge is the bare basics. If you really want to improve your shooting, you should know how to pick the best cartridges for your rifle. Here is some information on the top-tier manufacturer Lapua and their excellent brass cartridges.
Difference Between Berger Bullet Types
We have gushed about Berger Bullets in the past, and for good reason. The company is one of the oldest and best ammunition manufacturers in the industry. They consistently pump out a wide variety of high-quality products that anyone who takes shooting seriously would be proud to carry.

Extending the Shelf Life of Your Ammunition
Ammunition Storage & Shelf Life
It's obvious to most that the quality of your ammunition is just as important as the quality of your rifle. Whether you prefer to hand-load, or you'd rather make an investment in a top loaded ammo brand like Hornady, you want to do your best to keep your ammo in fighting form. Depending on the climate where you live, this can be trivial, or a significant challenge.
While it's true that modern ammunition has a much longer shelf life than older types, it's still possible for the environment to degrade your ammo. This mainly becomes a problem if you want to stockpile ammunition — and what precision shooter doesn't? If you're always on the lookout for new and better things, you might find yourself wanting to try different ammo with different rifles in search of the sweetest combination possible, which could mean a lot of ammo sitting around unused for a period of time. Not only do you need to keep it organized, you also need to keep it in good condition until you're ready to use it, even if that day isn't coming anytime soon.
Here are three proven tips for extending the shelf life of your ammo.
