• Handgun Ammo

True to its name, a handgun is small and lightweight – making it popular for concealed carry. And while you may lose accuracy compared to shooting a rifle or shotgun, some of the most popular calibers in the world are designed for handguns. The .45 Colt. The 9mm Luger. The .357 Magnum. The .40 Smith & Wesson. Not only are each of these cartridges an iconic piece of ammo history, but they also influenced the development of modern handgun ammunition.

These legendary calibers are just the beginning. From military and law enforcement use to home protection and concealed carry, you will find handgun ammo for a variety of uses.

• Rifle Ammo

The rifle’s unmatched versatility is perhaps why it has been around for centuries. Its power and accuracy makes it popular for hunting, self defense and target shooting – but the wide variety of rifles and ammo can be mind-boggling.

Hunting with a rifle allows you to choose ammo for specific game. Small or large, varmint or predators, short range or long range – the rifle ammunition available is so particular, it can mean the difference between hunting a black bear or a brown bear. And while a rifle’s length can make it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces, its accuracy makes it a popular choice for home defense, with the AR-15 among the most trusted in the U.S.

• Rimfire Ammo

With less power than its centerfire counterpart (due to primer being at the base as opposed to the center), rimfire ammunition is most commonly used for plinking, target shooting and varmint hunting. Among rimfire ammo is one of the most widely used cartridges in the world – the .22 Long Rifle. Many novice shooters use this iconic ammo as a learning tool and go on to use it for plinking and small-game hunting.

For those looking for a training ammunition that doesn’t need the power of a centerfire cartridge, rimfire ammo is fun to shoot and is generally among the cheapest ammunition online.

• Short Gun Ammo

Arguably the most specialized type of ammo on the market today, shotgun ammunition can be loaded for uses as specific as deer, squirrel and a variety of game birds. Shot sizes ranging from 000 (triple aught) to 12 shot and with varieties in lead, steel and buckshot – the choices are seemingly endless, and they provide several excuses to own a shotgun. From sport shooting and hunting to home and personal defense, this firearm is as versatile as the amount of shotgun shells on the market.

Less lethal ammo is also available for shotguns, including rubber bullets, which are often used by law enforcement for crowd control.
