Ally Munitions Field Notes

From Wade at Ally Munitions:

We’ve already used this round on hogs and coyotes from a 16" AR platform, and the results have been strong. Inside traditional hunting ranges, it performs exactly how it should — tight groups, consistent velocities, and reliable expansion. Wound channels on hogs were clean and effective with solid pass-throughs and internal disruption.

We’re in the middle of a full-scale velocity and gel test run with more barrel lengths. Once that wraps, we’ll update this listing with chronograph data, SDs, and expanded field results.

This is a legit hunting load — not just a paper-puncher dressed up with a hunting tip. If you're looking to take your 22 ARC into the field with confidence, this is one to watch.
