We\u2019re in an\nelection year, which means there\u2019s a good chance that before the year is out\nthere\u2019ll be a run on ammunition.  We\ndon\u2019t know yet who the Democrat nominee will be, but we know every damn one of them\nis running on an anti-gun platform.  It\u2019s\nnot a bad time to stock up on ammo. \nPrices are the best they\u2019ve been for a while. Don\u2019t expect that to last\nforever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Super Vel\nammo is running a big customer-direct sale. \nA bit of background. Back in the Sixties, Lee Jurras changed the face of\nthe handgun ammo industry when he came out with his Super Vel brand\nammunition.  Instead of round-nose lead\nor full metal jacket, you could finally buy jacketed or semi-jacketed hollow\npoints using lighter, faster bullets that expanded when they hit flesh.  Super Vel brought the 9mm Luger and .38\nSpecial rounds up off their knees and made them viable self-defense\ncartridges.  In a second generation of\nownership, by H&H Cartridge, Super Vel sponsored me at the Second Chance\nPin Shoot, where I won a bunch of guns shooting their high speed, wide mouth\n190 grain .45 hollow point that just reefed the heavy bowling pin targets three\nfeet back off the table. That was something like forty years ago.  I shot some critters with Super Vel, and it\nwas devastating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time went on. The big ammo companies copied Super Vel\u2019s design, and the smaller firm just couldn\u2019t compete. Well, a few years ago, shortly before Lee Jurras passed, my old friend Cameron Hopkins thought it would be a good idea to resurrect the brand, and he got Lee\u2019s permission to do so.\u00a0 Cameron is a good dude, an honest man, and knows his ammunition.\u00a0 The current Super Vel includes about the hottest load out there for snub-nose .38 Specials, the Super Snub, which sends a 90-grain hollow point out of a two-inch barrel at a hellacious velocity of more than 1300 feet per second. In addition to old school hollow points, Super Vel also has Barnes-type all-copper hollow points, which work well against barriers while still expanding reliably in flesh. Their copper HP .380 load looks as if it will both expand and penetrate to FBI-approved levels for service pistol ammo when fired from, say, a Walther PP.\u00a0 They\u2019ve currently got a big sale going, 35% off on that snubby load and 20% or more off on most anything else, factory direct.\u00a0 Check it out at supervelammunition.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
