#SoftPoint

As archery and shotgun seasons draw to a close, rifle hunters prepare their longer-range gear for late-season big game harvests. Along with a properly zeroed rifle, ammunition choice is at the top of the list for a successful and ethical hunt. Soft point rifle ammo has been a classic choice for North American hunters for decades because it offers excellent penetration through hard bone while still being able to expand in the soft tissue to deliver maximum terminal energy. The SIG Sauer Venari SP soft point line of ammunition is available in eight traditional hunting calibers from .277 Fury to 6.5 Creedmoor. Additional details can be found below.

What if there was a caliber that was suitable for everything from coyote to brown bear, kicked less than your whitetail gun, fit in a micro-length (2.25″/58mm) action, and cost a quarter a round to shoot? That would be a pretty awesome caliber, wouldn’t it? It turns out that this caliber might already exist, if the industry can fulfill its potential: It is the Russian 7.62x39mm caliber used by the infamous AK-47 rifle.
