MISSOULA, Mont.—Hunters who shoot .300 Win. Magnum or .300 WSM can now support habitat conservation in elk country by purchasing Federal Premium Ammunition.
Federal, a longtime partner of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, has added the two popular calibers to a special line of ammunition earmarked to supplement RMEF efforts in habitat enhancement and protection. Other Federal Premium Ammunition calibers in the program include .338, .270, .308 and .30-06.
Hunters should look for Federal big-game ammunition with the RMEF logo on the box, says Steve Decker, RMEF vice president of marketing.
“Purchasing RMEF-licensed ammo is a simple way to support the habitat projects that not only sustain elk and elk habitat, but also elk hunting,” said Decker. “Federal has been a major supporter of RMEF since 1991, contributing an incredible $600,000-plus for our conservation projects all across elk country.”
“With all the modern pressures on elk populations, from wolves to habitat loss, it is critical that we invest in elk country now,” said Ryan Bronson, conservation specialist with Federal. “Hunter conservationists have another way to contribute to RMEF when they are standing at the ammo shelf.”
RMEF recently passed two key milestones of special note to elk hunters: 5.7 million acres of mostly public-land habitat enhanced or conserved, and 585,000 acres opened or secured for public hunting.
