Hitting the Gel
With its higher velocity, and therefore wider expansion diameter, the 180-gr. TTSX from the .300 Rem. Ultra Mag. at 100 yards created additional damage to the ordnance gelatin block (bottom). For comparison, the top block was shot with same bullet from a .30-'06 Sprg. (top).

While it's a historic Italian firearm brand, Breda guns have long been elusive in the United States. This year, Breda America is adding to its lineup of shotguns with the Victoria family of over-unders.
Gun control activists have become increasingly emboldened. The shift from targeting the margins to challenging the mainstream signals nothing is off-limits. Gun bans are being aimed at the most popular firearms in America. Now, even hunting—which survives in countries that ban defensive gun use—is being targeted.
The American Custom Gunmakers Guild Foundation announced the introduction of its new "Doug Turnbull Firearms Restoration Arts Grant," which is an expansion on the foundation's mission to support gunsmithing education in the United States.
