Federal Signs Landmark Agreement with U.S. Army to Accelerate High-Performance Ammunition
Federal Ammunition announced it has executed an agreement that allows the United States Army to utilize its patented Peak Alloy ammunition case technology for use in multiple cartridges and weapon systems. The new agreement specifies conditions necessary prior to granting Government Purpose Rights, such as the delivery of 40 million cases featuring technology.
Peak Alloy was first introduced in the commercial market in 2025 with the all new 7mm Backcountry. It is a high-strength, proprietary steel alloy casing that enables significantly higher chamber pressure — in excess of 80,000 PSI — than traditional brass for higher velocities in smaller, lighter, shorter-barreled rifles typically configured for suppressors. This case technology is also being evaluated by multiple allied European countries.
The agreement with the U.S. Army is inclusive of multiple chamberings including 50-cal and below.

Ruger Introduces ReadyDot Micro Reflex Sight System for LCP MAX Pistol
The Ruger ReadyDot is designed to be an accessible, easy-to-use micro reflex sight system. The profile and shape were designed to provide visual guidance for fast target acquisition. A fiber illuminated reticle has been specifically designed for battery-less operation at typical concealed carry pistol ranges. This creates a red dot system that is easier to acquire and stay on target, all without worrying about batteries. The use of a reflex sight like the Ruger ReadyDot allows the shooter to keep both eyes open and focus on the target, rather than the front sight.
The included holster fully covers the trigger guard on the LCP MAX with the ReadyDot installed. Please Note: This ReadyDot micro reflex sight is NOT compatible with LCP MAX pistols equipped with a loaded chamber indicator.
