Winchester Commemorates Theodore Roosevelt With New Ammunition Line - FishNews - 12-04-2007
Winchester® Ammunition is pleased to announce the new Theodore Roosevelt commemorative ammunition line. Celebrating 150 years of Roosevelt s influence and achievement as arguably the greatest conservation hero North America has ever produced. He was a champion of hunting and wildlife conservation.
The Theodore Roosevelt cartridges feature a nickel-plated shell casing bearing a special Roosevelt head-stamp in three popular calibers: 30-30 Win, 45 Colt and Roosevelt s favorite big bore lever-gun round, the 405 Winchester®. The most powerful cartridge ever chambered in a lever gun, the 405 was used extensively by Roosevelt during his 1909 - 1910 African safari. The 30-30 Winchester rounds are loaded with 150-grain Power-Point® bullets and the 405 Winchester with 300-grain jacketed flat point bullets: both are boxed in 20-round packages. The 45 Colt is loaded with a 250-grain flat nose lead bullet and comes in a 50-count box. All Theodore Roosevelt cartridges are packaged in collectible, foil-embossed boxes, each emblazoned with vintage Winchester artwork and photography.
Born in New York City on October 27, 1858, Roosevelt achieved fame as a hero of the Spanish-American War for helping organize and train the Rough Riders. He served as a New York City police commissioner, a prolific author and was the twenty-sixth president of the United States, where he earned the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in resolving the Russo-Japanese War.
His politics were simple and straightforward, embodying the attitudes of hard work, American confidence, and most important to hunters and shooters, a modern-day conservation philosophy. Without Roosevelt, we would not be able to hike, camp, hunt and enjoy many of our national forests and parks.
