\"\"<\/a>Look what the UPS man delivered today. (Every time he delivers me ammo he asks, “How do you get all this ammo? Know where I can get some small rifle primers?”)<\/p>\n

It helps to know important people and I know this guy named Randy Grove who works for Remington. In fact, Randy is the guy who developed the .30 Remington AR cartridge. (Obviously we share a common interest.) Anyway, what I received today was production samples of Remington’s new Hog Hammer load for the .30 Remington AR which is loaded with a 125 grain Barnes Triple Shock bullet.<\/p>\n

NO, I have not pulled the trigger on one of these loads yet but knowing what I know about this cartridge and the Barnes Triple Shock bullet, I’m betting this is suitable for all non-dangerous game. Wish I would have had some of this to test last month when I was in Africa<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Notice the nickle plated cases which are standard on all Hog Hammer<\/a> loads. Look for Hog Hammer<\/a> ammo on your dealers shelves this hunting season.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks Remington for not abandoning my favorite and one of the most important rifle cartridges to be released in a long time. Now, PLEASE<\/strong><\/em>, smart folks who\u00a0 own rifles chambered for the .30 Remington AR need brass!<\/p>\n
