2026 SHOT SHOW releases

[swavescatter]

I fully expect every single company at shot show to now suddenly be in “the suppressor space.”

I foresee a lot of companies doing the absolute minimum r/d necessary to bring something to market, in order to capture market share.

To me that translates to dirt cheap solid performing cans. Sign me up.

Maybe. I hope so.
But it could also mean a lot more cans coming apart under normal use because monstrum or hi-point or similar wanted to print a $69.69 can at 6.9oz “for the memes”

All I’m saying is it will be a hot segment for companies. And buyers will need to be paying attention to not get burned

I'm going to be in town this week and would like to get in there somehow. I know it's not open to the public, but that would be awesome.

Any thoughts on the Winchester BC Max bullets? The 6.5 140 is about 0.030 off the 140 eldm in BC (.617 vs .646) but it is marketed for hunting. Also claimed to have a tougher, higher antimony lead core with a staked base.

Hopefully the tips aren’t as inconsistent as the deer season XP rounds I’ve seen. Typically about half aren’t centered or they’re bent/smashed at the end.

Looking forward to the speer impact 156, unfortunately they have a history of never being available.

Norma makes a 156gr bonded soft point in 6.5. I just wish it was a hollow point or tipped like their bondstrike

Correct, bc on them isn't great unfortunately. The speer impact 140s shot great out of my 6.5 prc so I'd like to try the 156s. Only reason I moved on from the 140s is they never are in stock which seems to be the trend for speer over the last few years. Love the bullets but unless they fix their supply chain issue I'm hesitant.

If only diligent could keep up with demand. They probably have the best 30cal can at or under $600
