Winchester Ammunition is leading the hunting pack in 2022 with its "Primed for '22" launch of a remarkable array of ammunition products. These aren't just simple line extensions with new calibers; these are true innovations that will increase your chances of a quick, clean kill in the field. NRA Women Columnist Melissa Bachman, who is also a member of Team Winchester, has personally spent the last year working with these brand-new offerings in rifle calibers and shotshells.

Starting with BlindSide 2, Winchester's devastating shotshell optimized for waterfowl hunting, you'll see for yourself what makes this load so effective. Additionally, there's a new offering, simply named Bismuth, that delivers superior downrange performance in a non-toxic load. Winchester hasn't forgotten upland wingshooters, either, as the company's Super Pheasant Diamond Grade shotshells prove. Rifle hunters, rejoice ... Winchester Ammunition's new 6.8 Western Power-Point and Copper Impact cartridges are here to bring down game quickly and ethically at ranges you won't believe.

Check out this video and get primed for '22!
