The same is true for your target-shooting customers. Typically they’re going to want more than one box of ammo, but they may not “know” that — ask the right questions to sell the amount of ammunition they need. Shotgunners generally are going to buy multiple boxes of ammunition whether you encourage them to or not. You just need to be sure you have enough on the shelves to cover what these customers want. Following the successful integration of steel shot into waterfowl hunting, a number of manufacturers are looking at nontoxic alternatives to lead in bullets. For 2009, Winchester Ammunition is expanding it Xpert Game and Target Steel Shot line for upland hunting and target shooting. Citing increased customer demand, Winchester is also introducing a lead-free bullet for varmint hunting, the .223 Rem., along with expanding its E-Tip line of lead-free ammo with the addition of .270 Win., .300 Win. Mag. and 7mm. “Shooters and hunters require lead-free ammunition in various regions of the U.S., and it is our goal to make sure they have a legal, high-performance product,” said Glen Weeks, centerfire product manager for Winchester Ammunition. “Our goal with this new .223 Rem. product, as well as all of our lead-free offerings, is to make sure that shooters have a wide range of Winchester lead-free products available.” Barnes Bullets offers a highly frangible, powdered-metal, copper-tin core inside a guilding metal jacket for use in military and L.E. practice environments. MagSafe Ammunition has introduced pre-fragmented safety ammunition, which uses lead shotgun pellets for the bullet’s core instead of solid lead. One advantage of this type of ammunition is its effective power, but with pellets that don’t over-penetrate and a reduced number of ricochets.
